Peter Elliott was in Carcushooke (Darby area of Delaware County, PA) in 1636....He was christened a Quaker in 1663 and died in 1687...also his son John Elliott was married in PA in 1689. Let me see...it goes: Peter Elliott - circa 1636 (Pennsylvania, America) John Elliott - died: 1734 (Pennsylvania) Enoch Elliott - died 10 Jan 1767 (Pennsylvania) Christopher Elliott born 1741 (Darby-Kingsess, Philadelphia) Israel Elliott - born 1763/64 (Kingsess, Philadelphia County, PA) Israel S. Elliott - born 1791 (Kingsess, Delaware County, PA) and so on and so on.... And let's not forget John Elliott of the 1620's who was an apostle to the Indians and translated the Bible into their language. Sure the Elliott's had various spellings on their names on the records but on the wills of the above individuals, they say Elliott. The Elliott's have been in America for a long long time, long before the English colonized it.
