I am trying to locate info on my grandfather James Woodfin Elliott who was born in 1876--possibly in Marion, NC or Black Mountain,NC. Have just visited Marion-but did not have any luck-lots of Elliotts there. He married Katie Manus. He died March 18, 1959 in Lancaster,SC. There is a possibility he had a brother named John. I have been told that his father ran a rest home or nursing home in marion. This is all I know. Will apprciate any help. Thanks

Hi, I think I may be able to go on James. This is the information on James W. Elliott I have, is father was John E. Elliott born about 1840 in NC married Mary J. Unknown. His father was Elcaney E. Elliott born 14 Apr 1811 in Burke Co., NC died 2 Jun 1864 in Marion, McDowell Co., NC, he married Mary Wakefield/Duncan in 1833 in Burke Co., NC. She was born 7 Jun 1812 Burke Co., NC and died in McDowell Co., NC. His father was Nimrod L. Elliott born 25 May 1783 in Surry Co., NC and died 8 Feb 1857 in Marion, McDowell Co., NC and is buried Gardin-Haney Cemetery, Glenwood, McDowell Co., NC. He married Elizabeth Connlley before 1807 in Burke Co., NC. She was born 1 May 1789 Burke Co., NC and died 25 Sep 1824 McDowell Co., NC and is buried in Lake James, McDowell Co., NC. Nimrod also had a second wife. Rebecca M. Gibbs before 1833 in Burke Co., NC and she is buried next to Nimrod. For James' siblings, I have John H. born abt 1872, Robert B. born about 1874, Eddie L. born abt 1875, and Mary S. born abt. 1879.
