The 2 most famous ploughs manufactured were the "warrier" and the "joan d'arc"...featured at many fairs and found on the archives on ontario website....it states he was b. at newcastle eng. in 1820. immigrated to canada with his family in 1827 and age 30, had settled in london ont. and started the foundry. Later he was joined by t. campbell and george jackson. in 1853 he purchased an interest in the phoenix foundry, becoming sole proprieter and carried out a very extensive business. In 1856, he joined partnership with cpt. james burgess. the foundry was located at the corner of bathurst and wellington streets and produced ploughs and stoves for the livingroom and kitchen. in 1875, it was renamed to "elliott and burns" then in another article online, pg. 388,it states john elliott was b. at shahead, beaucastle, cumberland, eng. in 1820, came to canada in 1827, settled in trafalger, on dundas street, known then as "the 16"...he attended school at what was then york (now toronto) and did an apprentice in the mercantile house of george stegman, learning the goods and grocery trade...he joined the cavalry in 1837-8 under cols. chisholm and briggar. from 1840-50 he was in the dry goods business and llived 4 years' in galt ont...in 1850, he joined in partnership with george jackson in a foundry partnership...in 1851, fire destroyed the premesis and the partnership dissolved...in 1852 he purchased the co, with cpt. burgess, calling it the phoenix foundry at bathurst and wellington...he had this for 19 years ('til 1871)/8 years' with cpt. burgess/spent 5 years in australia (having the foundry partnership in both countries)... in 1879, it became john elliott and son... in 1871, it became and extensive co. for all agricultural works/the foundry burned down again in 1885... i find it fascinating that my own gg was given the opportunity to travel with the company and did well financially...makes me realize people were the same then, as now...connecting through people and business/today it's called networking!!!!.. hope this helps in your search! dorothy kay london ontario p.s...i live in london ont., and the buildings are no longer there...bathurst and wellington remains an industrial area of the city though...

My Benjamin was born in 1812 (they say 1812)married to Mary Bell Mustain in Stokes County NC. Also I have located their head stones at Love's Methodist church in Walkertown. According to date on his, he was born in 1813. There are Elliotts all around me. Randolph Co. Elliotts were Quakers when they came to NC. My Elliotts seem to be located mostly around, Forsyth Co, Stokes and Granville Counties. I will check out Joseph. He does seem to be 1 of candiates. Some Ftrees list his father as Joseph and Benjamin born in England. Many thanks. Jackie Elliott Brown Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: lonestar357 Surnames: ELLIOTT, HITT Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.elliott/7076/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Greetings all. I am researching the Elliott family of Missouri, and found that George H. Elliott married a Miss Adelisa Hitt. Have no birth information for either one of these people, but their two known children were: Jefferson Davis "Jeff" Elliott b: 15 May 1861, and Henry Lee Elliott, B: 2 Jan 1863. Most likely the boys were born in or around Lincoln County, Missouri. I also strongly suspect that prior to moving to Missouri, both the Hitt and Elliott families may have lived in or near Fauquier County, Virginia. If anyone has more information on them, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
