Elliott b. 3/18/1877 Bellville, Austin Co, Tx. also- he married Jessie Belle Pryor who was b. 1868 in Americus, Sumter Co. Ga. Claude worked his entire life for the railroad (any ideas about finding him in railroad records?). Claude's father was Benjamin F. Elliott b 8/1825 who married Harriett Terry in 1857 and Mary E. Lilly (Northcrop who was b. 1839 in Indiana. I know B.F. Elliott was living in Georgia at one time maybe he was born there. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.He is listed in the 1880 census as being a lawyer.
