Oldest Elves

[Aiwendil]

Elwë (Thingol), Olwë, Finwë and Ingwë were all born at the waters of Cuivienen in the very beginning. The Three Lords of the Elves were Elwe (Teleri), Finwë (Noldor) and Ingwë (Vanyar)... but Elwe was lost upon the way to Aman. Olwe replaced him as Lord of the Teleri.

Well, Elwe and Olwe were brothers; I believe Ingwe was also said to have a sibling. In that case, they cannot have been among the first 144 to awake. The original lords of the Elves were Imin of the Minyar, Tata of the Tatyar, and Enel of the Nelyar; these groups later became the Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri. For more concerning the first Elves see the Cuivienyarna in HoMe XI.
