Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Elliot Family in America The company being called to order, Simon D. Elliot was lap pointed chairman, and Asa Elliot and Enoch Wickersham, Secretaries. The object of the meeting being stated by the chairman, to-wit: A reunion of the family and its connections, renewing and strengthening the bond of love and friendship that has heretofore existed, and the encouragement to cherish and cultivate that love in their families as they become scattered and separated, that will qualify them to take their place-s in the church and the world, assisting by their counsel and influence to withstand the torrent of sin and iniquity that prevails in our country. John D. Elliot then read the following paper, sketching from memory the following short history of the Elliot family which was directed to be printed and Copied with the proceedings of this meet ing and then sent to each family where their residence is known. In attempting to write some account of the family, I have neither resource for information but memory and therefore shall be very liable to make many mistakes. Much of what I know of our ancestors was learned while a boy in listening to the conversations of my grandparents, and others of the family. If I remember my Grand father's Grandfather's name it was John Elliott. (the name was spelled Ellot until my Grandfather's time and he still contended that was the right way.) Of this first ancestor all I know is that he came from England in company with many others about the time the company came over with Wm. Penn, some of his relatives being in New England of whom John Elliot the great Indian Missionary was one. Our branch of the family settling in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. Of this family all I know of is three sons named Ben jamin, Jacob, and Abraham. The two latter moved to South Carolina, leaving Benjamin in York, or Chester County, Pennsylvania.
