    Moved from England Hill Cemetery. I have not found the area in Catlettsburg Cemetery where it should be. There is an area in the back part of the cemetery with stones of all the same size. Many of them have "UNKNOWN" engraved on them, which would suggest these stones belong to a cemetery that was moved there. None of the stones say John Crank or even Crank, so if this is the correct spot then John is one of the UNKNOWNs.

      (Bruce) I don't know where the name Elkin/Elkil comes from. I've seen it other times in other trees with "Elkil nee Mullins" which means Mullins is her maiden name. I've seen no record that Matilda was married once before she married John [12]
