Hi Barbara Stanford and all, If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me. 1830 Haywood Co., NC is Jason Ellitt (Elliott) (age 30-40) with 2 girls ages 5<10 and 2 boys <5. 1840 Haywood Co., NC is Jason Elliot (age 40-50) with 1 girl ages 5<10, 2 boys 10<15 and 2 boys <5. In 1840, Jason is on same page (127) and 14 houses from James (H) Queen, Isabella and their three children. Amos Plott is on one side of James and Enos Plott is three houses away from the other "side". I can't find the correct book right now, but as I recall, Plott received sizeable land in the area provided that he would keep settlers on it. The Plott Plantation was in Haywood. Gene
