you got it Wayne...I had hoped to find Andrew's maybe early tho in 1700/1800's tho when naming meant familial linkage possibly..and I hope to prove my theory that Andrew was not a very prevalent name in Elliott line thus those that used the name early might possibly be related through similar relatives..did that make more sense? sorry it was late and I am often not clear...:) vera ----- Original Message ---- From: wayne spence <wj.spence@sbcglobal.net> To: elliott@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 6:33:47 PM Subject: Re: [Elliott] Is Elliott English or Scottish? I've not followed the entire string so I am uncertain what we're looking for, but I do have an Andrew LaBaume Elliott (1859-1934) both in TX. He was the son of Doctor LaBaume Elliott and Frances Ann Burnett. He was married to Lucy Ethel Barnes in 1889.
