I have an ancestor Elef Calkins who was born 13 May 1775, married John Clark in or near
Broadalbin in Montgomery County, NY, moved with him to Lorraine in Jefferson County, NY,
about 1804, and Elef Calkins Clark died in Lorraine in 1862. Am searching for her parents.
She had an unusual given name -- Elef.
Ancestry's OneWorldTree says that Daniel Calkins, b. 2 Oct. 1749 in Sharon,
Litchfield, CT and who married Rhoda Carrier b. 1751, had a daughter "Sally
Calkins" who was born in 1775.
Daniel Calkin's mother's name was Elef Way Calkins. Only place I have ever seen
the given name "Elef." I am wondering if Daniel's daughter "Sally"
Calkins who was born in 1775 and whose grandmother's given name was "Elef"
could be the "Elef Calkins" born 1775 that I am looking for.
I'm interested in communicating with anyone interested in Daniel Calkins b. 1749
Sharon CT and his wife Rhoda Carrier b. 1751.
