My earliest Elliott record is that of Francis Elliott who married Married Mary Knox in Lynncrest, Ballyshannon, Donegal on May 29, 1799. He was probably born in the same place (not written in stone) but may have come from Scotland. Probably born about between 1770-1780. Here's what I know: Francis Elliott, b. abt. 1779, Lynncrest, Ballyshannon, Donegal, Ireland, married Mary Knox on May 29, 1799 in Ballyshannon-Kilbarrow Parish (C of I), Donegal, Ireland and had the following known children: 1.J ohn Elliott, b. about 1800 (immigrated with family to Ontario, Canada, 1838-1841) 2.Mathew Elliott, b. about 1801 3.Thomas Elliott, b 1814 Still looking for any Elliott connections in Canada but have had no success to date. My website that follows has some additional info. www.elliottusafamily.com Robert Elliott Monument, Colorado
