ELLIOTT Elliott, Lowe, Covington, Robinson 11452 Kentucky Genealogy and Biography Volume IV Battle Perrin Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Simpson Co. WILLIAM L. ELLIOTT was born in what is now Simpson County, Ky., January 6, 1843, and is the youngest of three living children born to William and Jemima (Lowe) Elliott, the former of whom was a native of Simpson County, and the latter of Logan County, Ky. Both were of English descent. William Elliott received a good common school education in youth, for that early day, in the schools of Simpson County, where he was married and resided all his life. In early life he learned the blacksmiths trade, which he continued to follow in connection with farming until his death in May, 1843. Soon after his marriage his father-in-law gave him a partially improved farm, to which he added other lands, owning at the time of his death a well-improved farm of some 200 acres. His father, Dabney Elliott, was a veteran of the war of 1812, and was born, educated and married in Virginia. Soon after his marriage he removed to Logan County, Ky., then almost an unbroken wilderness, where he was among the early pioneers. Mrs. Jemima Elliott is yet living, and resides on the old homestead. Her father, Ralf Lowe, was a native of Maryland, where he was educated and married; he also was one of the early pioneers of Logan County, Ky. William L. Elliott received a good common school education in youth, and was employed on the old homestead with his mother until he was twenty-four years old. He then farmed on shares until 1873, when he bought a partially improved farm of 133 acres adjoining the old homestead, to which he has since added other lands, now owning a well improved farm of 160 acres, which is in a high state of cultivation. His dwelling is one of the best in the district. Here he is successfully engaged in farming and stock raising, making the breeding of cattle and mules a specialty. He has also given considerable attention to breeding blooded cattle, short-horns and Jerseys. He married, February 6, 1867, Julia A. Covington, a native of Logan County, born March 22, 1844. She is a daughter of Daniel C. and Mary J. (Robinson) Covington. Three sons and four daughters hae blessed their union: Orah Lee, Willie E., Emmit C., Alda B., Emma D., Eddie L. and Dixie Belle.
