  Walker Library Description
Elkanah met and became engaged to Mary Richardson, a woman who was recently rejected by the American Board for missionary service because she was single.
Elkanah and Mary, both having dedicated their lives to missionary service, were quickly appointed, not to South Africa, as originally planned, but to the Oregon Mission by the American Board of Commissioners.
Elkanah wrote a primer in the Spokane Indian language, "Etshiit thlu Sitskai thlu Siais thlu Sitskaisitlinish", which was printed in 1842 on the Lapwai Mission press (Washington State University MASC holds a facsimile copy).

 Blue Letter Bible - Commentaries
His father’s name was Elkanah, a Levite, and of the family of the Kohathites (the most honourable house of that tribe) as appears, 1 Chr.
Elkanah was a country Levite, and, for aught that appears, had not any place or office which required his attendance at the tabernacle, but he went up as a common Israelite, with his own sacrifices, to encourage his neighbours and set them a good example.
It is probable that Elkanah married Hannah first, and, because he had not children by her so soon as he hoped, he married Peninnah, who bore him children indeed, but was in other things a vexation to him.

At the suggestion of New Marlborough (MA) genealogist Ted Atkinson I pursued a course of action that ultimately confirmed that Elkanah Freeman of Sheffield, Massachusetts and Canaan, Connecticut was the same Elkanah Freeman of Rochester, Massachusetts who was fathered by John Freeman, born 1678 in Eastham, MA.
The bloodline lineage of Elkanah Freeman is traced back to Edmund Freeman, the Immigrant, in Freeman Genealogy by Dr Frederick Freeman (published 1875), but he was unable to provide any more information on Elkanah Freeman (and his brother Eli Freeman) than that they were sons of John Freeman, and the dates of their births.
Elkanah was born there on 6 February 1716-17, and his younger brother, Eli, was also born there afterward on 27 April 1722.

To Moshe Gubi, the lesson of Elkanah's final moments was clear: "Against terrorists, you must fight -- you don't negotiate, you don't make concessions." For the government of Ariel Sharon to be digging up his son's grave so the land can be turned over to terrorists is an outrage, he said.
