Hi Debbie,
Elias' parents were William and Eliza Jane Hoback Caulk, who married in 1853. As you
know, Elias was old when our parents were born, and his dad was old when he was born, Nov
4 1876. His dad William was born about 1809 in Green Co. Ky (now Taylor Co.) Elias was the
youngest of 9 kids, and his dad died in 1881. Elias had a brother, Walter, who was killed
in 1925 over some bootleg deal gone bad. I have also heard that he had a one legged
sister, but you'd think he'd have told his kids something that important, and he
didn't. His oldest brother John wouldn't sleep in a house. One sister moved to
Arkansas. Two married Stillwells, including the alledged one legged sister. Roxie was born
(I think) Mar 29 1898 (I'd have to check for sure.) She married Elias Mar 28 1916. She
was the oldest of her family. Her parents were Elijah B and Mary Jane Underwood Allen.
Elijah had been married before and had other children. His kids with Mary Jane were Roxie,
Lee, Lee's unnamed stillborn twi!
n, Orville, Curtis, Nellie, and Truman (Truman's first name was Cassie). I didn't
really know Grandma's family that well. I hope you all are doing OK. We think of you
often.
Take care,
Peggy Shofner Ray
