Chuck, I wonder if we could take a poll of everyone here and see how prevelant the name Andrew is in their family lines...I think that it was uncommon and that since you and I both have Andrews that might be a good thing..:) What does everyone think about that? vera Hi Mike, Thanks for the input. It would be exciting to find out that George, William or John could be connected to my Andrew, who was probably born between 1774 and 1784 (based on the 1820 census age range). I just did a run through HeritageQuest Online "Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application Files". I didn't find any reference to Andrew. He would be too young to serve, but some offspring are named in these application files. I did find Georges, Williams and Johns under both the ELLIOTT and ELLIOT spellings. The 1820 census for PA has 5 Georges, 20 Johns, and 12 Williams, again using the two spellings. However, none of them is in York County. They must have all moved on or died by 1820. The 1810 census has one John ELLIOTT in York County, while the 1800 census has one John ELLIOT. Ironically, I can't find my Andrew ELLIOTT in either the 1800 or 1810 censuses with family, although we know several of his children were born in York County between 1800 and 1810. There is a single Andrew ELLIOTT in Erie County in 1800. This Andrew is a slippery fellow. I did send in my DNA upgrade request for 67 markers, so we'll see what new names that produces. Yours aye, Chuck Elliott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To contact the ELLIOTT list administrator, send an email to ELLIOTT-admin@rootsweb.com.
