Hi all of you looking for Elderkins.
I just read the posts today, as I just found a link to the name this wk-end.
I'm researching the Boardmans. My mother's maiden name was Boardman, and one of her ancesters, Jonathan Boardman (abt. 1724 - 1774) married Zeviah, Zeojah, Zerujah, Zeruiah, Zernich, Zerniah, Zirmaah (whew!) Elderkin. They lived in Connecticut, it seems, all of their lives. I have found Zirmaah Elderkin, b. 16 Oct 1723 in Killingworth, CT. Parents: James & Phebe, sibs: James 1725, Sabre 1727, Hipsabah 1728. I'm not sure if it's the same family as other family members have her parents as Samual & ?.
Any answers for me out there?
