However I looked for where all the Elliots were in York County. They were all in Monaghan Twp. The York County Heritage Trust Library in York has the the tax records for Monaghan from 1848 back. so I looked there and found Andrew. he was single in 1795. He would not have been in the taxes until he was 21 so I figure he was born around 1774. He was also single in 1799. From 1800 to 1819 he shows up in the taxes he has either 1 cow or two in those tax records and he occupation is listed as saddle tree maker in several years. So I said to my self if he is not in the census he would be in another Elliot census. Andrew fits in the census record of Robert Elliot in 1790,1800 and 1810 and does not fit in any other Elliot census record. Then I when looking for Robert. Deed 2R288 in 1795 says Robert Elliot of Monaghan and wife Margaret see land to Col. Thomas Campbell which was part of the 159-1/2 Acres Robert got from is father Andrew. And in 1782 Robert of Monaghan bot 82 Acres of 165 which had belonged to Andrew Elliot of East Caln Twp, chester Co. PA. Chester Co will abstracts of 1781 show that Andrew Elliot of East Caln Twp names Robert of Momaghan Twp York Co. to get part of 608 acres that Andrew owned in Monaghan. Robert and John Elliot are brothers. Please let me know if you find the parents of Andrew of Chester Co. I am not related to the Elliots.
