My Lewis Elliot Reynolds was born in Zanesville area 9/14/1859 and they lived close to the Grays. Since there were Gray marriages to my Rodmans, Vansants, and Springers, I am hoping that Abner Elliot who married Sarah Marie Gray is somehow connected. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and will be happy to exchange info. thank you very much

Over the weekend, Rootsweb replaced the old GenConnect Message Boards with new, integrated boards (so there are no longer separate boards for obits, bible records, etc.) which hopefully you will all find more useful and efficient. Note on the new boards, to post messages you will need to register a user name and password (similar to the Threaded Archives) which will allow you to create "Favorites" and add "Notifications" easily. It will take time to learn to navigate the new system (and the Board Admins are in that process as we speak :-) however please visit. All the old messages from GC were transferred to the new. The new boards will also be gatewayed to the mailing lists.

Kim: If the David and Jacob Elliott at the bottom of your list were in Shelby Co., IL they are not part of your group of Elliotts -- at least as far as I have been able to determine. If you have a proven connection I sure would like to know. David and Jacob were brothers -- children of John and Susannah Claver Elliott and both were born in old Rowan Co., NC (now in Davidson Co., NC). They had a sister and several brothers who settled down in Clay and Richland Counties (Millie, Thomas, Isaac and William). Two other brothers went further west. John settled and died in Ray Co., Missouri and Willis Willard ended up out in Oregon (died at the age of 101!) Below is some information I have gathered on these two from old Shelby Co. records. David Elliott [b. 1793-1794, d. 30 Sept 1854 in Clay Co., IL while visiting brother] From HISTORY of SHELBY and MOULTRIE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS (1881) p. 42. "David Elliott was perhaps the first settler on Richland Creek. He located in what is now Richland township in the spring of 1825. In early days he had a horse mill and still-house, which he carried on quite profitably for several years. His brother, Jacob Elliott, moved into the settlement in the fall of 1826. He subsequently moved into what is now Holland township. He has lived in the county for fifty-four years, and is a hale and hearty old man, full of life and vigor." From obituary -- they don't write them like this anymore :-) Jacob Elliott One of the pioneer settlers of Shelby county, departed this life at his old home in Holland township, near Mode, Tuesday morning, December 30th 1887, after a brief illness of about two weeks, which finally terminated with paralyses of the brain. He was in his 86th year at the time of his demise having been born December 7th, 1802, in the state of North Carolina; emigrated to the state of Indiana when a boy, in 1818 (sic); from there to Illinois, in 1815, settling in Richland county near where the city of Olney how stands. There he was married to Miss Sarah Ann Moorehouse; from thence he moved and located in Shelby county, on the head of Richland creek in Richland township, where he purchased land and located for a time, but owing to a violent type of milk sickness that infested that particular locality, sold out and relocated where now stands the city of Mode, where he has since lived for something near the last half century, making farming his chief occupation. He was the father of eight children, five boys and three girls, four now living--Thomas Thadous, John and William, and four dead. His Wife died in 1844 leaving him while most of his children were yet small. He remained a widower for about twelve years, when he was remarried the second time, in 1856, to Mrs. Milley Green (widow of Felix Green, and mother of Martin, Mar-shall, Silas and Jefferson Green, and Mrs. Levi Wheat of this county). They having lived harmoniously together until the fall of 1880, when she, too, was taken from his side, leaving him a widower the second time in life during his, declining years. Since that time he has lived with his son William, on the old homestead, up to tire time of his death. He was the grand parent of forty, and great grand parent of 19 children, thirty-one of the former and eleven of the latter still living. Upon the organization of this ju-dicial district he served on the first grand jury that was empanelled in Shelby county and has always dealt out even handed justice to his fellow men ever since, when his judgment was called in a question. Having been revered and respected through all the eventful years of his long life, for his honesty arid integrity in all things, he died as he had lived, an honest man, the noblest hand work of God. "With malice toward none, and charity for all" his hospitality was unlimited and his generosity unbounded, while he dwelt in the flesh, as many will join with me in their living testimony. He was a father to the orphans, a friend to the friendless and his house a hospital for the afflicted and a retreat for the homeless, while he fed the hungry and cared for the poor. This is the true outward sign of the inward worth, and betokens the spirit of him who spent his life in doing good and looking after the business of His Father. Father Elliott was interred at the Williams cemetery, Union church, near Mode, on the eve of December 21st, 1887. Bro. Douthit was to preach the funeral, but owing to the bad roads failed to get there to perform this rite at the grave, but will in the future. When viewing the remains for the last time, we took the venerable patriarch by the hand, and in our mind, said, Farewell! Grand Father Elliott, thou hast been faithful over a few things, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord. W.H. Jr. Dan Elliott Mount Vernon, IN

I apologize in advance to those who will see this more than once, as I am cross-posting for greater coverage. This has long been a brick wall and I keep hoping to crack it someday. A maternal line great grandfather was William Edward ELLIOTT [b. 2 Apr 1863 - d. 24 Mar 1938]. He was married 12 FEb 1890 to Sarah Rebecca WEST [b. 1 Mar 1875 - d. 22 Feb 1959]. All of my ELLIOTTs lived during these times in the Buffalo Township area of Kershaw County, which is out between Camden and Bethune. WillIam Edward was a son of Thomas ELLIOTT [b. 15 Apr 1832 - d. 3 Jan 1865 (killed in action in the Civil War)]. He was married on 6 Nov 1853 to Mary Ellen NELSON [b. 3 Jun 1835 - d. 3 Sep 1910]. Thomas was a son of William Thomas ELLIOTT [b. @1802 - d. before 1870], who was married about 1827 to Jane HOLLAND [b. @1811 - d. before 1850. I am at a complete standstill with this family and would appreciate any help possible with them. Thank you Bill Hughes ©¿©¬ kinseeker4@msn.com http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bhughes/

Posted on: Elliott Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Elliott/10829 Surname: Elliott ------------------------- I found Edward in the 1900 census. He is not the father of Shed but the brother. William Elliott was married to Jennie (or Virginia). Their children were Albert, Ed, Silie, Myrtle, Shed, Annie, Sallie. This is the right family. I'm stuck on William's parentage but I'm getting a copy of his death certificate sent to that should be cleared up soon. They were all born in Kentucky as were their parents.
