The rest of the story: since we had exact matches with two Northern Irishmen and our family lived in Scotch-Irish communities in the colonies, we began looking into the migration of our family to the Ulster Plantation as I mentioned before. We found a Daniel Elliott there. These Scotsmen living in Ulster kept a strong allegiance to Scotland and about 1640, many moved back to Scotland. Scotland had two wars with Cromwell, 1650 and 1651. Cromwell took thousands of Scots prisoners and some he shipped to the colonies as Scotch-Irish prisoners 1651. Two large groups came over and no one kept a record of the prisoners. They worked about 6-8 years as indentured servants then were allowed to marry here but not go back to Scotland. We have done extensive research into the Eliot, Elliot, Elliott, Elet that came over, their descendents, etc. and can not find a record of our Daniel's arrival or where abouts in the colonies. Savage wrote that Daniel and son Daniel came from Marlborough/Sudbury area. We do feel he was in this area 1675 when King Philip burned Marlborough and western area of Sudbury and that his family died there leaving only both father and son. If anyone knows anything more or different, please let us know.
