General Notes: Husband - William Elkin

In 1850 he made a visit to his son Francis, who lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and who preceded his father to America. After remaining with his son nine months he returned to Ireland, and two years later came back to Pittsburgh with his family. In 1854 he purchased a homestead in West Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, upon which he spent the remainder of his life.

General Notes: Wife - Martha Beattie

---

She was the granddaughter of Joseph Hill, who died in Ireland in 1844 at the ripe old age of 107 years. She had several brothers and sisters, but none of the old stock emigrated to America. Her brothers, Henry, Robert and John, were men of literary ability and became distinguished scholars. Henry was graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, in 1847. He won several scholarships during his university course in competitive examinations, and was graduated with distinguished honor. He took a theological course and became a clergyman of the Church of England, married the daughter of a bishop, and resided near London, his children still living there. His brothers prepared themselves for the profession of teaching and for many years were leading instructors in the Queen's naval schools. All the Beattie family were inclined to intellectual pursuits, and its members took high rank in the various callings and professions in which they became engaged.
