The family name is "John Henry Elliott." The generation before that one was from County Ayre, Scotland, and included lots of men named James, Robert, and John Elliott. Common women's names were Elizabeth, Jane, Mary, Ann. The John Henry Elliotts were Anglicans and settled in Glen Wild, Sullivan County, New York. The James Elliotts were Catholics and were cousins, coming to the U.S. at approximately the same time and settling in the same general region. Later, some spread to neighboring counties and to New York City. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
