On her obituary it stated that she was born in Kentucky, however, the census until she died, states she was born in Tennessee. She always told my father that she was Pennsylvania Dutch, whatever that means. I cannot find anything about her. If anyone out there has a lost Martha Elliott, I would love them to look into this. One researcher told me years ago that she was born in Pendleton County, KY, but I can't find any evidence she was b orn there. Thank you for just reading this.

Who is related to Joel who was abandoned at the Washita by Custer and whose command was killed to the man.

NC in about 1830 and was the daughter of a David Elliott; see http://www.jenforum.com/woodall/messages/668.html According to other information posted on rootsweb, in the 1850 census there is a record for James Woodall (aged 33), wife Mary (21) and three children Mary, Nancy and Samuel. They are shown as unable to read or write. Information from the jenforum message above also says that the family later moved to Patrick Co. VA and they are shown there in the 1860 census with a few more children (and apparently also in the 1870 and 1880 census). So it's not clear whether they are connected to our William Joseph or not. We just keep searching I guess Lorraine Elliott (born NZ, now living in Australia) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Chuck, nice to be posting! :)  This is very interesting..would York County have been part of Washington County in 1807?  My maps are in the basement, sorry.  My Thomas had a brother named Andrew that supposedly lived too far away to remain in contact (so quoted after they moved to Ohio)  Could have left them in PA.  Also, there is a possiblity that my family is linked to the Francis Blaine Elliott's ..all your names (except Nolan, Frances & Nancy) are same as mine. (big deal eh since they ALL named their children those names!) My Thomas was supposedly the middle brother with William and Andrew on either side...so Andrew Sr's death 5 ish years or so after my Thomas's would seem possible as the younger brother. You know I"m just free thinking. I'll see what I can find in my info too.  Wishing I could find them in PA somewhere prior to 1800. vera ----- Original Message ---- From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: ELLIOTT-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 3:09:17 PM Subject: Re: [Elliott] Is Elliott English or Scottish?

I am very pleased to see the responses to my posting regarding the Elliotts (nice to her from you again, Vera). My PA family fits somewhere in between some of yours. I don't know when my family came over, Phillip, but it is tempting to think we might have a connection. My GGGgrandfather, Thomas ELLIOTT was born 6 Jan 1807 in York County, PA. His parents were Andrew and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). Elizabeth's obituary was in Indiana 26 April 1844 age 64 years, 9 months, and 27 days, which translates to 30 Jun 1779, location unknown. Andrew isn't mentioned by name in the obit, but we confirm the connection in the Doty Family History, where two of Andrew and Elizabeth's daughters marry two DOTY boys. Elizabeth emigrated from Pennsylvania to Ohio, "in the years 1823, a widow, with eight children, and settled in Stark County, where she remained until fall of 1843, when she removed with her son, Andrew Elliott, to Lagrage County, Indiana." She died at the home of another son, Thomas, my GGGgrandfather. I have no further confirmed information about Andrew, Sr., except that the family is probably in Cumberland County, North Middleton, based on the number and ages of children in the 1820 census. Apparently, Andrew died between 1820 and 1823, but I can find no record, yet. I have identified seven of the eight children: Nolan ELLIOTT, b. abt 1800 William B. ELLIOTT, b. abt 1804 Thomas ELLIOTT, b. 6 Jan 1807, d. 24 Apr 1879 Andrew H. ELLIOTT, b. 1808, d. before 1882 Nancy ELLIOTT, b. Oct 1812, married Lot DOTY Frances "Fanny" ELLIOTT, b. Abt 1815, married Zebulon DOTY Charles ELLIOTT, b. 8 Apr 1817, d. 6 Jan 1894 I have no information about Nolan. Charles stayed in Ohio and died at a son's home in Kansas. William B., Thomas, Charles, Nancy and Frances (all married in Ohio) moved to Northern Indiana and died there. If anyone can shed some light on Andrew, Sr., I would be most appreciative.

I don't know when my family came over, Phillip, but it is tempting to think we might have a connection. My GGGgrandfather, Thomas ELLIOTT was born 6 Jan 1807 in York County, PA. His parents were Andrew and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). Elizabeth's obituary was in Indiana 26 April 1844 age 64 years, 9 months, and 27 days, which translates to 30 Jun 1779, location unknown. Andrew isn't mentioned by name in the obit, but we confirm the connection in the Doty Family History, where two of Andrew and Elizabeth's daughters marry two DOTY boys. Elizabeth emigrated from Pennsylvania to Ohio, "in the years 1823, a widow, with eight children, and settled in Stark County, where she remained until fall of 1843, when she removed with her son, Andrew Elliott, to Lagrage County, Indiana." She died at the home of another son, Thomas, my GGGgrandfather. I have no further confirmed information about Andrew, Sr., except that the family is probably in Cumberland County, North Middleton, based on the number and ages of children in the 1820 census. Apparently, Andrew died between 1820 and 1823, but I can find no record, yet. I have identified seven of the eight children: Nolan ELLIOTT, b. abt 1800 William B. ELLIOTT, b. abt 1804 Thomas ELLIOTT, b. 6 Jan 1807, d. 24 Apr 1879 Andrew H. ELLIOTT, b. 1808, d. before 1882 Nancy ELLIOTT, b. Oct 1812, married Lot DOTY Frances "Fanny" ELLIOTT, b. Abt 1815, married Zebulon DOTY Charles ELLIOTT, b. 8 Apr 1817, d. 6 Jan 1894 I have no information about Nolan. Charles stayed in Ohio and died at a son's home in Kansas. William B., Thomas, Charles, Nancy and Frances (all married in Ohio) moved to Northern Indiana and died there. If anyone can shed some light on Andrew, Sr., I would be most appreciative.

Do you have any information about the Elliotts of North Carolina and Georgia? 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 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.

Author: tutanka Surnames: Elliott Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.elliott/4437.5.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, Phillip . . . . My name is Joyce, and I live in Virginia. I'm addressing this query to you because I've been searching for Elliotts in Pennsylvania that may be related, and you seem to have a good deal of knowledge about PA Elliotts. However, I'd be grateful for feedback from anyone who may have information I'm seeking. I believe my GGG grandparents were John and Eliza Elliott. Both were born in Ireland--he in about 1814 and she in about 1819. Based on the dates I've found, they had to have come to America sometime in the late 1820's or 1830's. They moved to Virginia in 1844 or 1845. The 1860 Census showed them living in Marshall County, Virginia, and his occupation as merchant. At that time they had 7 children--Mary and David (both born in PA) and Eliza, Samuel (my GG grandfather), John, Joseph and Eleanor (all born in VA). The oldest child was born about 1842 and the youngest about 1856. Ever heard of any of them? Neither of my grandparents liked to talk about their pasts for some reason, so I've never had a lot of info to go by. I've just recently discovered the PA connection and have no idea where in PA to begin searching. Thanks! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

You've piqued my interest - - Washington Co PA Elliotts. I have Mrs Nancy Elliott of Washington Co who married James MARQUIS before 1850. In the 1850 Census of Knox Co, OH, there are 2 Elliotts, Mary age 30, and William, age 22 in James and Nancy's household. I have Matthew Elliott b ca 1820 where?, d 12 May 1856 in Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, PA. The notice of his death was directed to the Sherriff of Knox Co, OH. Matthew had married Julia Ann MARQUIS in Knox Co in 1843. Were Nancy Elliott and Matthew related in any way? Matthew and Julia Ann are my gr gr grandparents. Why was Matthew in Harrisburg PA? Why was the Sherriff involved? Any ideas on solving this would be welcome.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: chukndee Surnames: Elliot, Eliott, Elliott Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.elliott/4437.5/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Elliot Clan Society research on the name of Elliott is as follows: Twelve families named Elwald or Elwood came down from the area of Angus on the upper east coast of Scotland in the early 1300's. They reportedly had lived in what is now the foot of Glenshie for many years. There is a small river now named Elliot in Angus. They came in support of Robert the Bruce, and settled in Liddesdale on the border of Scotland and England. In spite of the spelling which appears in old documents, including land grants, it is said that the pronounciation was Ellot. By the 16th century, this was the most common spelling in documents of the time. For several centuries, the Ellots, Armstrongs, Scotts, Kerrs, etc. dominated the borders and created a domain of lawlessness. A good reference book is "The Steel Bonnets", by George MacDonald Fraser (1971, Harper Collins). In 1603 James VI of Scotland became James I of England and proceded to "pacify" the borders. Some Ellots were hung, some made peace and stayed in the borders, others were transported to Northern Ireland as "diluters" of the population there. Some time in the 1600's the "i" was added to the Ellot and another variation became Eliott, the present name of the Clan Chief, Lady Margaret Eliott of Redheugh. It is believed that the mixing of deported Elliots and Eliotts in Ireland resulted in the Elliott spelling. I understand that the records in Ireland are not too good, but that large poulations of Elliotts are still resident in Northern Ireland. As a footnote, Sir Arthur Eliott, founder of The Elliot Clan Society, noted in his book "The Elliots, The Story of a Border Clan", that "the introduction of an "i" into the name "Ellot" was, without doubt, unfortunate. It immediately confused the Clan with the well-known English Norman family of St. Germains, settled in trhe West Country and South Wales and in no way related, whose name was derived from "Alyot"." Over the centuries the Scots-Irish Elliotts moved in many ways, including back to scotland, To England, and to America before and after the revolution. I hope this sheds a bit of light on the origins of Elliotts. My line lies in Pennsylvania in the early 1800's and I have not found the line going back to Ireland, Scotland or England. However, I cling to the idea that I descend from those bold border reivers of long ago. Yours aye, Chuck Elliott Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
