About Absalom Elkins

Burial record:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70563781/absalom-elkins

Absalom was the son of Archibald and Margaret (Bishop) Elkins. He married Mary Dobbins. There is some debate on whether her last name was Robbins or Dobbins, but most believe that her last name was Dobbins because Absalom was very close to a Daniel Dobbins that lived close to him around the time that he married Mary, who had a daughter by the name of Mary.

I can not find any documents about where Absalom is buried.
