I was interested in your subject line and the reference to Devon. I recently had my DNA tested and the results indicated my Elliotts were not from the border, but Southern England by way of the Viking Coast Raids. Was wondering if your research ever came across a Daniel Elliot, born around 1630-1640? His son, Daniel, testified at the Salem Witch Trials and was responsible for starting the Elliott family that went to Framingham, MA, to Oxford/Sutton, Ma, Rumney, NH and then west thru upstate NY. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 9:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elliott] ELLIOTT'S OF AVETON GIFFORD, DEVON This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I have a birth certificate for one of Thomas`s sons (Arthur b.1845) which gives Mary`s previous name as Couch. Thomas & Mary are my friends` GGgrandparents. I don`t have any info yet about Thomas`s parents or siblings. What relation are they to you? Rgds Jacky Knibbs Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
