HI Marsha! this is not my line that I know of but a line I inherited...I tend to collect Elliott lines..it is my passion/goal to figure out who all the Elliotts in OH are related to .. :) crazy I know... The Abraham I have is a son of John and Mary (lamberton) Elliott...I see no Jacob but there is a John...but again this is not my research. John is son of James and Margaret Sanderson Elliott. Looks like this family was from Middlesex county PA and John b after 1733..BUT my dates on this particular man (james) probably are somewhat wrong..but if they were right then your Abraham would be a possiblity of a match... I have no other info on this line...no dates no places no nothing... I got this info from my uncle who got it from a woman named Betty T... What I am more interested in is the Randolph/Cane Creek Quakers as my gmother's Moffitts came from there in the Quaker evacuation of NC and I CANNOT find one of my Moffitt's wife's family a Rachel Cox married to David Moffitt... :) arent' the Quaker's grand? talk about name repeats in Elliotts! :) vera marsha moses <[email protected]> wrote: Vera, there is an Abraham Elliott who moved from what I call Old Chester County, PA because I haven't done enough research to know exactly what the county was and or became...My data base says: > this couple moved from Warrington, Pa to Cane Creek, Guilford County, > NC in 1764 > > Priscilla died c 1773 and Abraham m. 2nd 1774 Sarah Pike widow of > William Piggott.

I agree. I kind of lurk here and see a lot of "my" Elliott names reflected in other people's line but since my Elliotts (Allen's Elliotts too) came from MA, ME and PA I haven't tried to tie into some of the other line mentioned. I just look for things that may lead me over my stumbling blocks. Finding the English link was wonderful to me although I don't know a lot more than when I started, it is one more step back. I have a personal web site that I really don't use mush if we want to start a central "repository" of sorts.

Mine goes back to Ada Elliott, my great great grandmother. She was born around 1870 - will have to check my notes to be sure of the date. Her husband was William Marmaduke (Duke) Austin - they lived in Stewart county TN. I have the family back to a Winford Elliott.

Good thought Paul..and I agree I have felt for a long time especially that Elliotts from Northern Ireland came over and at least initially joined family members or neighbors or someone they knew...is this incorrect thinking? so I guess maybe people who have Elliotts from Ireland should get together, English Elliotts etc and try to look at early naming patterns etc? I'll think more on this... vera [email protected] wrote: In the research of our lines, I feel that it is very important that we establish continuity of our lines, but, we tend to be hung up into cells based on locations and time. For a long time I have been trying to determine the background of my Jacob Golston Elliott and this calls for tying to tie Elliott's in different locations together. This involves studying the migration paths that many made westward from PA to Indiana, Missouri, etc. One problem is that some Elliott's from PA first settled in Augusta, VA, and then they (or their family) migrated on over to NC before moving south to SC and then on to Ohio, Indiana, Mo, etc. If we are researching an ancestor who settled in a known area of the country we may feel fairly certain that they came from a certain place, say Augusta, VA, but not suspect that they first had taken a loop through the Carolinas which is another cell of hung-up researchers. So, in our establishing continuity with our lines we tend to be ignorant of these cells and thus tend to by-pass these side paths. My example of this is: The censuses say that my Jacob Elliott was born in KY but I really suspect that he was born on Fishing Creek Chester Co., SC. But, none of the KY Elliott's mention SC or NC but indicate that they came from, say PA or Augusta, VA. I realize that it was customary for the children to move-on, seeking their own land. I also realize that there were some in Ohio, IN, MO, and else where, whose ancestors followed more direct paths than mine probably did. Does anyone else have any thoughts on how we can work together to tie some of these people together ?

Dear Linda, Thanks so much for this information. I'll be interested to hear whether your family's Elliott researchers can place Charles, Lily, Harry and Lucille with their Elliotts. The Charles I"m seeking is the eldest son of John D. Elliott and Julia Enfield. I've investigated several candidates over the years, trying to find out what ever became of "our" Charles, armed only with his birth date and state of birth, but to no avail. So, I"ll keep pursuing this fellow, and await further word regarding your sister-in-law's opinion. Many thanks again. I really appreciate your time. :) Annie U.

Kathy, Thanks so much for this information! I'm guessing this came from a city directory? I've been looking in the Canada census (1920), but don't find these people, but I'll keep trying, as the Canadian records are fairly new to me. Anyway, thanks so much. I really appreciate the information, and your time. :) Annie On Tue, 17 Apr 2007, KATHY HUGHES wrote: > I find only one reference to any of these persons past > 1910... > In 1917 Harry Lee Elliott, who was born Nov 15 1891 > (slightly off the census date), in Portland, Oregon, > was living and working for Ross & Howard in Vancouver > BC, though he gave his home address as Seattle.

I apologize but I am missing emails...wierd... wondering what the dates, state etc of your John D and Charles Lee are... I have many side branches to fill in so I am always looking. I know that my John's sons moved west from Hamilton Co, OH and I do not have a lot of his line. I do have the name Charles showing up in my line of Elliotts in the shipwrecked line of Elliotts and in Hugh Elliott of Muskingham, OH's line of Elliotts which we believe is a relative at least of William Elliott of the shipwreck who ended up in Muskingham, OH... also Lee is a family name...(another shipwreck thing) thanks for the info, vera Andy or Annie Utick <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Linda, Thanks so much for this information.
