MY ELLIOTT FAMILY RECORD
(SCOTLAND?)-IRELAND-CANADA-USA

Most likely from Scotland, but to this date I have not found any evidence of such, if they did come from Scotland they were probably forcibly moved there by the English Crown as the name Elliott/Elliot was known as a Border Reiver Clan.  They emigrated from Ireland to Ontario, Canada about 1838-1841 and first settled in or around Logan Township, Perth County, Ontario. Early family history indicates that they may have also moved or settled in Renfrew and Wellington Counties.

Francis Elliott (my ggggrandfather), b. abt. 1779, Lynncrest, Ballyshannon, Donegal, Ireland, married Mary Knox on May 29, 1799 in Ballyshannon-Kilbarrow Parish (C of I), Donegal, Ireland and had the following known children:

1. John Elliott (my gggrandfather), b. about 1800 (immigrated with family to Ontario, Canada, 1838-1841)
2. Mathew Elliott, b. about 1801
3. Thomas Elliott, b 1814

They may have moved to Leitrim at one time as there is a John Elliott Sr. who is recorded in the 1833 LeitrimTithe Applotment Books, Diocese of Kilmore (spelling?), Parish of Cloonclare, Townland of Moneenlum (Moneenlom). This document shows the recordings of all occupiers (tenant farmers) of land who paid tithes to the established Church at that time, which was the Church of Ireland. His tithing appears to be for about eight acres. There are also several other Elliott’s who appear on the same tithing page, James Elliott, another John Elliott, Simon Elliott, William Elliott and a John Elliott, Jr. Other possibilities are that some or all of the other Elliott’s on this tithing page are related; some might be the brothers of John Elliott, Sr.

1. Francis Elliott, b. July 8, 1829, Ballyshannon, Donegal, Ireland (see family info below).
