I am reposting in hopes of finding a connection. I know there have to be some relatives out there? My great great grandfather was James Monroe Elliott, born in IL, July 1863, died 1925, buried at Mize Cemetery near Wild Cherry in Fulton County, AR. Came to Arkansas by 1900, maybe earlier. Married Elizabeth Mize born May 1862 in AR. She died in 1947, buried at Mize Cemetery near Wild Cherry in Fulton County, AR. They had the following children: Ida b. Mar 1884, married a William Ratliff Charlie Monroe b. Jan 3, 1886 (my great grandfather), married Mussgrove Williamson Thomas A. Elliott b. Sept. 1887, married A. Graham, died 1926 Ezra born 1990, died 1889 James H. Elliott b. Nov. 1890, died 1918 Elza, born in 1892, died in 1894 Victor I. b. Feb 1895, married Martha Franks, died 1964 Lehman A. b. Sept. 1897, married Hazel Harrington, died 1978 Orion (or Oran) L. b. Sept 1899, died 1976 Nathan G. born Jan 1903, died Oct, 1903 Ruba P. b. 1905-06 (also known as Rubie or Ruby), he went to Kentucky and became the police chief in Paducah, KY. Was married to a Lucy Miller, and died around 1964. This is as far back as I have gotten. If anyone has any information, please let me know. In the 1900 census for Fulton County, AR, James M. stated that his father was born in Indiana and mother born in Kentucky. Then in 1910, he stated both were born in TN. Thanks very much.
