  • Notes 
    • Wilkerson Eller died in 1858, leaving a widow and six children, who moved to Monroe County, Indiana.
      Wilkerson Eller was granted 150 acres on the Wolf Creek Watercourse of Pulaski County, KY (27 Oct 1855) (Koenig).
      Suggestions he died in the Civil War appear to be incorrect. Jodi Long says he lived in Bloomington, Indiana from 1848 till 1849 and he died of Palsy at the age of 37 on September 22, 1858 in Pulaski County, Kentucky. He had a Kentucky Land Grant in Pulaski Co. which was surveyed 10/27/1855..
      James S. Eller of Monroe County, Indiana, is from this line.
