Looking for information on Charity ELLIOTT, the daughter of Geroge ELLIOTT and Charity Jane ADDIDLE. She is supposed to have married George ANDERSON on 13 Apr 1797 in Lincoln Co Ky but she is also supposed to have married a John ANDERSON. Anyone know anything about this family?
The Elliots were a Border Clan. Many Border clans were deported to Ulster, or be hingit, in 1603, under James 1V of Scotland !1 of England, at eh instigation of English Border Lords who were fed up with the Scots attacking them and stealing their coos. Many moved to America, (after attacking the English again in Ulster) mostly as indentured servants and up to Appalachia, to become frontiersmen again. Kinmont Willie Elliot escaped from Queen Lizzie's jail after a Border raid and King Shamus hung him for upsetting his new "United" Kingdom. Willie said in his defence that he never killed any Scotlsmen, only English. I know this is not much soecific help, but the background of the "Wild Elliots" may be of some help. I doi remember a cowboy movie star as a kid called Wild Bill Elliot and this may have been a legacy.
