  APPENDIX I FIRST LIST OF TITHABLES OF PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, YEAR 1767 Ralph Elkins, Jun. Richard Elkins, 1 tithe. Nathaniel Elkins, son Jessey. James Elkin on leather wood. Jesse Elkins, 1 tithe. Re: Abel Elkins, VA>KY Notes: I really think David, Abel and Nathaniel Elkins are related, butdon'tjust know "how" quite yet. I have many "possible" combinations, but have come up with thefollowing as a starting point: Nathaniel (born about 1726-1735 - From Tithing list Pittsylvania Co.Va) children and *possible children: Jesse (Born about 1746-1753 - estimated from Tithing list) *Abel (Born about 1749-1759) married Jessica (Unknown Surname) *Nathaniel (Born about 1760) Children and *possibles that "could" be from any of the 3 children: David - born ca1779 (some say David was the son of Jesse) Abel - born 1776  (some say Abel was the son of Nathaniel or Abel) Jesse - born abt 1760-1764 married a Hannah Laskey about 1781 (some say he would be the son of Jesse) *Nathaniel - born about 1780? married Rachel Hart in 1798 (This could be the same Nathaniel born in 1760?) I guess this can be confusing, but I believe some of this can be figured out by researching the Pittsylvania and Halifax County, Virginia records.  I have yet to really look at these in detail. Also there is a Nathaniel Elkin(s) of King George County, Virginia, married in 1704 to Rebecca (Unknown Surname). This Nathaniel Sr. may have been the father to Nathaniel born about 1726.
