Good idea, Vera. I have 3 Andrews in a direct line. My GGGGgrandfather was Andrew ELLIOTT b. abt 1774-1784 d.1823. His son was Andrew H. ELLIOTT (Jr.?) b. 1808, York County, PA, d. before 1882. By his second wife, Sara P. Sowers, Andrew H. ELLIOTT had a son, Andrew "Mortimer" ELLIOTT, b. 1849 probably in LaGrange County, IN.

It would be exciting to find out that George, William or John could be connected to my Andrew, who was probably born between 1774 and 1784 (based on the 1820 census age range). I just did a run through HeritageQuest Online "Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application Files". I didn't find any reference to Andrew. He would be too young to serve, but some offspring are named in these application files. I did find Georges, Williams and Johns under both the ELLIOTT and ELLIOT spellings. The 1820 census for PA has 5 Georges, 20 Johns, and 12 Williams, again using the two spellings. However, none of them is in York County. They must have all moved on or died by 1820. The 1810 census has one John ELLIOTT in York County, while the 1800 census has one John ELLIOT. Ironically, I can't find my Andrew ELLIOTT in either the 1800 or 1810 censuses with family, although we know several of his children were born in York County between 1800 and 1810. There is a single Andrew ELLIOTT in Erie County in 1800. This Andrew is a slippery fellow. I did send in my DNA upgrade request for 67 markers, so we'll see what new names that produces.

The below is an extract from a book from Ann Elliott Odell, a cousin who researched the line many years ago. There are quite a few John's and Williams, so maybe a connection. "George Elliot of the London family came to Ulster in Northern Ireland before 1686 with a grown family. These Scottish immigrants were displacing Catholic landowners in the Plantation of Ulster after all attempts to bring the Catholics into religious conformity failed. After the death of Cromwell, the political situation became unstable, and by 1688 an English Revolution was in progress. The Ulster Protestants backed William of Orange, but King James II had the support of the Catholic Irish army. The Protestant settlers gathered in Londonderry and closed the gates behind them and for 105 days, James II laid siege to the city. In this seige of 1689, George survived along with two sons. The father of the line who went to America, William, died at Londonderry. The known children of George Elliott were: George Jr., John, and William. William was the father of Alexander Elliott of Banbridge, Co. Down, Northern Ireland and grandfather of Alexander's America-bound children. George had been located in Banbridge, County Down and few records exist from this time. He was in the flax, linen and woolen industry, which may have been a related guild to the cordiners. In 1711, a Board of Development for Linen and Hemp manufacture was formed, bringing traveling teachers and seed from Holland and setting up manufacturing of sail cloth, rope, candle wicks and fabric but by 1713 Great Britain, in an attempt to protect its own markets, severed the Scots and Irish from the market--and foreign markets as well. After this period and for 30 years, thousands of Irish and Scottish migrated to the New World, this Elliott line among them. AMERICA The haven-seeking Scot-Irish began to filter into the American colonies after 1700 and became a flood of immigrants by mid-century. Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina and Virginia vied with each other in inducements for these prospective settlers. Philadelphia was the port of entry for many of them. Chester County just a few miles south of the growing city became a center for the County Down arrivals. The grandson of George Elliott, Alexander (1686-1762) fathered the American branch of this line who followed the exodus to America in pairs, all coming into Philadelphia and some moving to SC, PA, VA, and Maryland. This is a strategic location on the Potomac and the population soon overflowed. Early settlers into St. Mary's Co Maryland were William and Robert Elliott, probably sons of John. These sons removed to Southside, Virginia along the James River where they lived in Chesterfield County during the Revolution. Three of Alexander Elliott's children: brothers George & R! obert and daughter Jane Henderson went to the Augusta-Rockbridge Co. VA area and settled. South Carolina, too, had its settlement of Co. Down families near Ft. 96 along the Savannah River. Two of the Elliott children were a part of this group: Alexander Elliott Jr. and Mary Clark, perhaps the oldest children of the family. Virginia was perhaps the most attractive colony to the N. Ireland settlers. A major setline area was known as Bordens Land, taken out by a man from New Jersey. Three of Alexander Elliott's children chose this area to settle: Capt. George Elliott, Capt. Robert Elliott, and Jane Henderson. THE FAMILY OF ALEXANDER ELLIOTT Born in 1686, died Dec. 21, 1762; buried at Banbridge. He was only about three when his father died during the seige at Londonderry. His wife is not known, but it is thought he had eight children: Alexander Elliott Jr., b. 1716 in Ireland, and died after 1790 in SC. He settled in Abbeyville Co., Dist. 96 on Long Lane River with his Clark kinsmen and others from Co. Down. These families were closely related to the Augusta Co. VA settlers. Mary Elliott. Married a Clark who died before the tax list of 1782. Her son moved to Fayette Co. KY and was closely associated with his uncle, Capt. George Elliott. Col. William Elliott: Born in 1726, Ireland and married Barbara ?. He was listed as a weaver. He came from Ireland with his brother Alexander around 1750 and enlisted with him in Philadelphia for Indian Warfare under Col. William McFarland. He received land warrants in PA in Cumberland and Lancaster Counties. The Elliott land was known as "Bullick Pens." It is thought he had the following children: William Jr., Sgt. Alexander, John, George, Robert, Barbara, Jane, Margaret (m. McNare), Mary (m. Noble), and Patty (m. Beare). He died in Alleghany Co. PA in 1807. John Elliott: born in Ireland, date unknown and died early. His wife's name was Margaret and they lived in York Co. PA also later in Westmoreland Co. PA. He was married when he came to America, as one son was known to be born in Ireland. His sons are the only children known: Capt. James (1750-1795 NH); Lt. John (was in West Co. PA in 1782 and served in the Sandusky Expedition; William (b. 1757 in Ireland, d. 1805 in Fayette Co. PA and also served in the Sandusky Exp.); Private Oliver ( born 1734, probably Ireland, served in Indian warfare on the Ohio River and died in 1837 in Mason Town, New Hampshire). Jane Elliott: died in 1798 with a will, m. Samuel Henderson, bother of Capt. William Henderson, all of whom lived on Borden's Tract in Augusta Co. VA near Tinkling Springs Church. In 1755 they lived near William Elliott, John Stevenson, Thomas Paxton, and in 1770 near the Pattersons, James Kerr and the Allens. Capt. George Elliott*: born 1728 in Co. Down, Ireland m. 1 in 1762 to Charity Jane Addidle in Philadelphia at Gloria Dei Church. He died 1814 in Fayette Co. KY. His children, by his first wife, were: Alexander, William*, Jane, John, Sarah, George and Charity. Barbara Elliott: m. May 10, 1765 to Matthew Henderson in Gloria Dei Church in Philadelphia. She probably came to America after her father's death. It is thought that Matthew Henderson was related to the Augusta Co. VA Hendersons. They lived in Chester Co. PA in the 1760's-70's but later moved to Philadelphia. Robert Elliott: born 1727 in Ireland, is living in August Co.--Rockbridge Co. VA alongside his brother George. He served in the French & Indian War, was also a seaman in the Virginia Navy and later lived in Madison Co. KY not far from his brothers land in Gerrard Co. KY. He died with a will in 1806. Not all his children are known. There was a Thomas Elliott in Lancaster Co., Dumfries, VA who is thought to be a cousin (from John, brother to Alexander). It is thought he was part of the shipbuilding center and port of Dumfries. He had children: Alexander, Judith Ann, and John.

He too came to the states with two brothers between 1770 and 1775 and settled in Lewistown Pensylvania, in Mifflin county, formerly Cumberland county. The reason your ancestors interest me, is the fact that all I know about him, is he shows up in the 1790 cesus in Mifflin county, he was about 16 when he arrived in the U.S. with his brothers, and he owned a tavern in Lewistown. I do not know his brothers names and was never able to definitively find either of them. I do know that John, named his first son William, and had close ties to the Power family. What do you know about the Elliott's in york? Do you know how old the other two brothers were, and possibly where they might have went after York PA? Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I have hit somewhat of a dead end here. All the Elliott's I'm meeting here have ancestors who either arrived too late to be closely related,or started in another state and wound up in PA to late to be closely related.

There are plenty of Elliotts passing through York County during the middle to late 1700s. Some were cousins. My ancestor, George Elliott (1731-1814) had two brothers (William and John) who settled in York County. They all came from county Down, North Ireland (two generations back from Scotland to county Down). George's uncle John also came to York and had a large family, though I do not have records of an Andrew. I took the 67 marker DNA test and matched up with 65 markers (which is pretty close) of two other Elliott's who can trace their family as far back as York, like you, but now farther. You may want to consider the Familytreedna.com test. Good luck, Mike Elliott Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the input. It would be exciting to find out that George, William or John could be connected to my Andrew, who was probably born between 1774 and 1784 (based on the 1820 census age range). I just did a run through HeritageQuest Online "Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application Files". I didn't find any reference to Andrew. He would be too young to serve, but some offspring are named in these application files. I did find Georges, Williams and Johns under both the ELLIOTT and ELLIOT spellings. The 1820 census for PA has 5 Georges, 20 Johns, and 12 Williams, again using the two spellings. However, none of them is in York County. They must have all moved on or died by 1820. The 1810 census has one John ELLIOTT in York County, while the 1800 census has one John ELLIOT. Ironically, I can't find my Andrew ELLIOTT in either the 1800 or 1810 censuses with family, although we know several of his children were born in York County between 1800 and 1810. There is a single Andrew ELLIOTT in Erie County in 1800. This Andrew is a slippery fellow. I did send in my DNA upgrade request for 67 markers, so we'll see what new names that produces.

I, too, am researching Stephen Elliott of Coffee County, Tennessee (not the one who married a Dent) (1790-1872). Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. I descend from Stephen Elliott, born 1790 in North Carolina, died 30 Aug 1872 in Coffee County, Tenn. There were apparently two Stephen Elliotts living in Coffee County, Tenn. One married Mary Elizabeth Dant, and many list that Stephen as being the father and Ms. Dant as the mother of Henry, James Monroe, Maltida, and other Elliotts. This has been rejected by those in my family, who have done deep research. I descend from James Monroe Elliott (1816-1897), who was the son of Stephen Elliott, but not of Mary Elizabeth Dant. We have not been able to identify with certainty the name of Stephen's wife, although it was probably Elizabeth. Or line migrated to Arkansas, and from there to Texas. Can you help us find his parents in North Carolina, and any others before that. If I have sent this to the wrong address, please forward it to anyone you think might help.

You raise some interesting questions about the PA counties back in the 1800 to 1820 period. I only have maps that go to 1835 and they look a lot like the current county layout. Reading from east to west along the Maryland border, the counties are Lancaster, York, Adams, Franklin, etc. Above York county on the east bank of the Susquehanna is Dauphin county and Cumberland county lies north of York and Adams on the west bank. Now, the later census records of my Thomas ELLIOTT say he was born in York county (no township) in 1807. I have not been able to find Thomas' father, Andrew anyplace in PA in the 1810 census. There is a single man named Andrew ELLIOTT in Erie county in 1800, a remote possibility. However, in the 1820 census, Andrew ELLIOTT appears in Cumberland county, North Middleton Township, with a family that matches in ages and sexes with the data I related in an earlier message. I guess I do need to find a good circa-1820 map, because the current PA map has no North Middleton, in fact no Middleton, anywhere in PA. Middletown is in Dauphin county just south of Harrisburg. If anyone can put me to a source of early 1800 maps of the area, I will be grateful. Cheers, Chuck Elliott Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
