Mary Jane's parents were Frederick Elliott (born 1804/1805 in Guilford County, NC) and Melinda Parsons. So the Perquimans branch of Elliott's is of great interest to me. I do have some information on Elias Elliott born 1803 (of Perquimans County, NC) who married Martha Sanders. Do you have any information on any of these connecting them with the other Elliott's of NC? I would be glad to share what information I have with you. My sisters and I took a trip recently to Deep River Friends Meeting and the Hege Library (research room) both in Guilford County, NC, looking for information on the Quaker side of our family. It was a very interesting trip. Rebecca
