The Elliott's were Scots who after getting themselves killed over and over at the border wars with England,joined the Army and fought the Dirty,unwashed Celts in Ireland and took a fancy to their women,also the Scots gravitated to the non catholic religions and were force out of the UK as the Irish Elliott's were forced out during the famine and even before.I have traced them to 1215 at Runnymead,1066 with Willy the Conq and to the Dooms Day book in 1000.The name John in America comes from the Famous John[Elliott] the Apostle who translated the bible into a Indian tongue.R ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don & Ethel Harrison" <donethel@chibardun.net> To: <ELLIOTT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 5:29 Subject: [ELLIOTT] > I am one of the newbe's. > > I only have one Elliott/Elliot or Eliott in my line right now.
