thanks Chuck, have you done any research in Ireland? I have not..does anyone have any suggestions about where to start? I have spent some time looking in PA records for my Thomas and not had much luck. I'm in the process of re organizing my records will keep my eyes open .. sorry for the repeat questions..I have short attention span theater going on..:) vera ----- Original Message ---- From: Charles Elliott <chukndee@ix.netcom.com> To: elliott@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, January 6, 2010 4:33:17 PM Subject: Re: [Elliott] Is Elliott English or Scottish? Hi Vera, Yes we have corresponded in the past. And, yes I wish I had more info on Andrew. I have sent a research request to the Register of Wills of Cumberland County to see if they can find anything about Andrew. He appears to be in the 1820 census in Cumberland with a family population which fits what I know of his offspring. One frustrating mystery is that I can't find any trace of the family in PA in the 1810 census (including alternate spellings). It would really be great to find that Andrew is that close to the 1790 migration to which you refer. If/when I get any info from Cumberland, I will let you know. Happy New Year and Good Hunting.

Supposedly, he and brothers were in PA after arrival and then they moved to OH to far away from Thomas to be in contact. My Thomas was in Jefferson County. His wife's supposed brother William was in Cochocton, then mine moved to Wayne/Medina. What I have been looking for is the PA community that they spent about 10 years in after arriving in the US.

Does anyone have a Matthew Elliot b about 1820 place unknown, parents unknown, md Julia Marquis in 1843 in Knox Co, OH, d Harrisburg PA in 1856. Had left his family.

what a minute....Chuck, you have an Andrew who died about 1823? I'm looking for my Thomas' brother named Andrew. Thomas died about 1818 and was the middle brother probably Andrew younger. Have I talked to you about my Elliott line before? Supposedly, he and brothers were in PA after arrival and then they moved to OH to far away from Thomas to be in contact. My Thomas was in Jefferson County. His wife's supposed brother William was in Cochocton, then mine moved to Wayne/Medina. What I have been looking for is the PA community that they spent about 10 years in after arriving in the US. They arrived in PA about 1790. Sure wish you had more information about your Andrew.... This is pretty interesting stuff. thanks, vera ----- Original Message ---- From: Charles Elliott <chukndee@ix.netcom.com> To: elliott@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, January 5, 2010 1:58:48 PM Subject: Re: [Elliott] Is Elliott English or Scottish?

Pat, When and where was your Thomas around? My GGGgrandfather was Thomas Elliott, born 6 Jan 1807 in York County, PA, died 24 Apr 1879 in Elkhart County, IN. I know his father was Andrew Elliott, born UNKNOWN, died about 1823 probably in Cumberland County, PA. His widow, Elizabeth Elliott (Maiden name unknown) moved with 8 children (several grown) to Stark County, OH, in 1823. She later migrated to Northern Indiana with several of her grown children and their families. Elizabeth died 26 Apr 1844 at age 65. So far, Andrew is my stone wall. Good luck.

Going over the ancient papers of Liddesdale-Tynes Valley-Redhough in 1400's and 1500's, there is also another spelling "Ellot". When the Border clansmen were moved over to Ulster 1606 by King James, the spelling changed to Elliot or Elliott including their first names. Instead of being Dande of the Cow, he became Daniel; instead of Martyn the Rychas he was known as Martin Elliott.

The last two lines of this well-known poem are not true. Those with double L and double T have lived in county Fermanagh in Northern Ireland since the early 1600s, particularly in and around the town of Enniskillen. Elliotts are the 2nd or 3rd most numerous surnames in the county Fermanagh phone book, second only to Armstrongs (also from Liddesdale) and McGwyers (the original inhabitants). Also the single L and single T is a French surname, not Scottish. Hal Elliott (in Utah) Double L and single T The Elliots of Minto and Wolflee; Double T and single L The Eliotts that in Stobs do dwell; Single L and single t The Eliots of St. Germains be; But double L and double T The de'il may ken wha' they may be. >>> "Malcolm Elliot" <malcolm.elliot@tinyworld.co.uk> 1/1/2010 12:26 PM >>> Chuck beat me to quoting the poem about the different spellings of the El(l)iot(t) name! I think there are only maybe 20% of us spelt with single 't' compared to the double 't's in the UK, with single 'l' much less common again. However it may also help some to know that, whereas all the other places named in the poem are around the Scotland/England border, the St Germains mentioned is in Cornwall - at the opposite end of the country, in South West England! For those interested in geographic distribution of any surname across the UK, try this free website, which enables you to search by surname for 1881 and 1998: http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/ For more detailed 1881 surname distribution info, I can recommend a CD Rom - Archer Software's British 19th Century 'Surname Atlas'.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: tallpaul53 Surnames: Elliott, Poe Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.elliott/7096/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am trying to find the parents of my GG Grandfather, Laban C Elliott b. 1823 in NC. He married Martha Poe, daughter of Thomas Poe from Anson Co. In researching the Anson & Union Co sites I found a number of deed records with the names of John Elliott, Robert Elliott, William Elliott, Isaac Elliott. In 1837, John Elliott sold a tract of land to William Elliott and it had a Laban Elliott and Isaac Elliott listed as chainmen of the survey crew on a piece of land sold by John Elliott Sr. In looking at census records from 1790 thru 1830, I found the Elliotts and the Poes (Simon, Thomas, etc) living in the Capt Poe District of Anson County around Lanes Creek (according to deeds). The Poes migrated to Fayette Co, AL sometime around 1830-1840. According to Laban Elliott's obituary, he moved to Alabama around 1840 and according to his first daughters tombstone, she was born in Fayette Co., AL. I believe this Laban Elliott found on the Deed may in fact be my GGG Grandfather. ! Laban and the Poes moved on to Mississippi and then settled in White County, Arkansas by 1860. I would appreciate any information on any of these Elliott families but especially any insight into Laban Elliott. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Chuck beat me to quoting the poem about the different spellings of the El(l)iot(t) name! I think there are only maybe 20% of us spelt with single 't' compared to the double 't's in the UK, with single 'l' much less common again. However it may also help some to know that, whereas all the other places named in the poem are around the Scotland/England border, the St Germains mentioned is in Cornwall - at the opposite end of the country, in South West England! For those interested in geographic distribution of any surname across the UK, try this free website, which enables you to search by surname for 1881 and 1998: http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/ For more detailed 1881 surname distribution info, I can recommend a CD Rom - Archer Software's British 19th Century 'Surname Atlas'. It's based on that year's Census, but shows by colour shading on a map, and numerically, surname distribution across the UK at that time (this may give clues as to the geographic origins of names). But note that the info provided for Scotland is only available by County, whereas for England and Wales you can also get info by Poor Law Union area (more akin to a town). Numerically, the totals for the different spellings registered on the 1881 UK Census were: Eliot 164 Eliott 323 Elliot 7643 Elliott 25398 My Elliot ancestors were from around Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is very close to the England/Scotlandborder. A quirk of history means that although the town of Berwick is nowadays in England (having changed sides many times over hundreds of years), the County of Berwickshire is in Scotland. This just adds to the challenge and interest for us family historians, especially if our families (like mine) straddle the border! If anybody else has Elliot ancestors in this area I'd be pleased to hear from them.

I know there are others like me on this list, still trying to find their Elliott origins.
