Cajool; Actually the name is Celtic and they came fron Central Europe and migrated to No Spain, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland and the name was originally Elet or Elan or something like that. The most prominent are Scots from central Scotland on the English border. I thought we were Welsh because it is a welsh name too and my ancestors colonized Welsh Run in Franklin co PA mine were in Greencastle.

My mother once said the E.'s came from Germany! A few yrs. ago, a cousin said that a G-G-GF was from Germany and they were potters. I found a census record that stated my G-GF was born in Germany. I can't find any records to suport that. They were supposedly burned or unable to locate from 1834-186? I can only say my GF was Nathan Elliott. Born in Belmont Co.,? Ohio. Death certificate listed in 1891 he was the s/o William and Mary Elliott. There is a Jacob Elliott listed in Ohio that was born in Germany. Could William be his son, born in Germany and the family came to the USA???????? If anyone has any leads I would greatly appreciate it. MY G- GF Nathan was born in 1834. Was in the Civil War (Union) West Virginia Calvary and married Anne Elizabeth Whittington b. 1840, Jefferson Co., VA/WV CajoolCaSome of their children were born in PA and some in WV. Was it work or family that drew them to PA. He died in Kanawha Co., WV in 1891. Anne was listed in 1920 census with a daughter and son-in-law, Margaret Jane and Edward Asa Carr. MJ was known as Maggie May.???? Thanks in advance for any input/info.........Cora Sue Crum-Barret
