He and his first wife Martha moved to Morning Sun, Iowa, in the 1850's. (They are listed in the 1856 census) Interestingly, on the 1880 census, Richard only lives 3 farms from him so I wondered if they were brothers. John's father was also John S. Elliott and he was born in Ireland. Look forward to hearing from you.
