• Notes

  Kentucky Vital Records, Series 3, Volume 44, "Green County Deaths"lists Abel's (age 83) death date as 12/15/1852 and his parents as Nathaniel and Rachel Elkins. I question this, as Nathaniel and Rachel were married in 1798.  This may be a second marriage for Nathaniel and Abel's real mother may not have been known to whoever reported Abel's death.
