I have a poor copy of the first 3 pages of James Dwight Elliott's,"ELLIOTT FAMILY HISTORY", published in Bingingham, NY in 1941. It addresses this subject & was labeled," For Use by the Society Daughters of the American Colonists, New Jersey State Society, 1959-1960. (A/929.2/E463). You should find it quite interesting, if you have not yet viewed it. I am a decendant of the Elliott clan which migrated to NC,(Perquimans Co.) and in 1816 moved on to WayneCo, IN, OH, Etc. I believe 1631 was the year of the first Elliott migration to the U.S.aboard the ship, "Lyon/Lion" which landed in Boston. I'm also among the researchers who believe our Bennet & Leticia (AGGAR) ELIOT's eight children came in 3 or 4 groups. Sorry to say, I have little good documentation - but am always looking for it. I'm past 70 and find the opinions of our ancestor's 'connections' quite interesting.
