Arthur Roland Elliott b 1879 Dayton Washington married to Cora Howorth b 1880 Pomeroy Wa m ca 1900 b, My maternal grandfather has, indeed, parents. Such a simple find, After years of looking for a birth certificate to locate his parents, I found his death notice in the Pendleton Oregon East Oregonian obits, died in 1916, and sent for a death certificate. Now maybe someone can help me. Maybe, you, Roland Elliott. Remember Washington was a territory in 1879 and their were not many records. "Birth Certificate would have been an invasion of privacy" His parents were J.M. Elliott and Matilda Baldwin, both listed as from Indiana. They would have been born in the 1850s I would guess. I am going to work on the Indiana census for 1860. I have a hunch J.M's first name could be Jacob as I find a Jacob Elliott in Dayton Washington in 1880 tried fro murder and cleared as self defense.. How many J Elliotts would there be in Dayton Wa in 1880 on the frontier?
