Notes:

From FindaGrave:

Elkanah was born in Cheshire to Ebenezer and Lucy (Hall) Doolittle.

After he graduated from Yale College in 1789, he taught at the Sunbury Academy in Sunbury, Georgia for several years.

Returning to Cheshire, he married Abigail Cook, daughter of Samuel and Jerusha (Hollingworth) Cook. They moved to New York City in 1792.

After Abagail's death in 1801, he was married in New York City on Nov. 5, 1803 to Hannah Compton of New Jersey. He took up his residence in Brooklyn, where his house and grounds comprised the block bounded by Sands, Washington, High and Fulton streets (now occupied by the East River Bridge tracks, shops and yards).

He was a tallow chandler and extensive manufacturer of soap and candles on property at Pearl, Vandewater and Gold streets, N. Y. City. Later Harper Bros.' publishing establishment acquired the title to that property from him and had their business there for some years.

Elkanah became a trustee for the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn in 1822. He was also one of the directors, and at one time the president of the first bank in Brooklyn, which formed in Apr 1824.

*The actual burial place of Elkanah is not known for sure, but is thought to be in Brooklyn, NY. Most cemeteries from that time no longer exist, and many graves were moved into other cemeteries. The most likely place is Greenwood Cemetery, but their records from that time are not indexed. Please contact the creator of this memorial with any additional information.
