As a researcher looks back 3-4 generations, it becomes clear that vitals records are sparse or nonexistent as most states did not issue official vital records prior to the 1820s. This particular death record from 1918 is particularly valuable to the researcher because it records the birth place of Kinman's parents which helps to validate relationships of both descendants and ancestors.
Note: Kinman Elliott and Nancy Pickerell were parents to John Morgan Elliott, who was the father to Elbert Aaron Elliott, who was the father to James Elbert Elliott, who was father to Terri, John, and James Elliott.
