Will, My husband's line comes from Dabney Elliott and Pheobe Baugh,of Simpson County, KY. Dabney's mother was Tabitha Cheatham hence my interest in the Cheatham line. I have information from that point backwards, but off the internet, not researched by me. I don't have a Modecai Elliott. But that could be because I haven't done descendants beyond children on lines that I am using Internet sources for yet.

My wife descends from the Elliotts of Chowan/Perquimans County, NC: Mordecai Elliott and wife Lydia Smith (I think. Or Rebecca Barber..) Mordecai Elliott's daughter, Jemima Elliott, married Noah Speight Jr. in Perquimans County, NC in 1815. Noah Speight was my wife's direct maternal ancestor.

My father and my mother-in-law are already related, and you guys are close to proving my father and my father-in-law are as well. (On the line I had originally thought I would prove my mother and father-in-law were related at some point.) Got to find time to add all my notes from the postings.
