In the census of 1790 there are three related Elliotts that are of interest to me: Abraham Sr. and Jacob are brothers and Abraham Jr is the son of Abraham Sr. I can't do from memory if there are other Elliotts in the census, but I could probably sort them out as well. I believe that there is another Elliott family that moves to the area from Perquimans County, NC (my Elliotts come down the Great Wagon Road from Pa in the mid 1700's from PA.) I don't know if the Perquimans Elliotts are related or not. But the family is definitely of Quaker heritage. They are involved in the Quaker churches in NC....and some go on to remain Quaker at Lost Creek, TN and into Ohio, Indiana....Marsha Moses mosesm@earthlink.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
