    3. NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 11227 UNKNOWN CO – WILLIAM BOONE ELLIOTT – Elliott, Limerick, Duncan 11227 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883. p. 576. Unknown KY County. William Boone Elliott, farmer, post-office Clarksville. James I. Elliott, father of Wm. B., was a native of Kentucky, and was born about the year 1809, and immigrated to Missouri in 1828, settling on the farm now occupied by the subject of our sketch. He first purchased eighty acres, on which was a hewn log house, in which our subject was born, and where his father continued to reside until the time of his death, which occurred in May, 1875. The mother of our subject died in 1882, in the eightieth year of her age; she was born in Kentucky. WM. B. was born on the old homestead, and was educated in the subscription schools of the neighborhood, supplemented by attending the school at Clarksville. At twenty years old he commenced teaching school, and followed this about six years, during the winter session. In 1856 he was married to Paulina Limerick, daughter of John Limerick, of this county, who was originally from Virginia. They have five children: Mattie (now Mrs. Dr. J. M. Duncan), John J., Noah Boone, and Frank. Mr. E. has a farm of five hundred acres, all under fence, and most of it in cultivation; he has a frame barn sixty by seventy feet in dimensions; his residence is a commodious, two-story, brick home, built in 1854. Mr. E. is fond of the amusement of hunting, is a good shot, and enjoys the sport greatly. He is a great lover of fine stock, of which he has a good share, all of the best blood.
