Elliott family

 Lauren, a fellow Elliot researcher, sent me an e-mail several days ago that has stirred my interest in my Elliott family.  She has done some extra research that I had never looked at.  She showed me a website in which the yDNA of our mutual Elliott family is explored.  WOW!  This opens up an entire new road of research!

Here is the URL if you want to look at if for yourself:

This looks like the John Elliott that others tell me is the ancestor of my well proven Jacob Elliott who moved his family to what is now Randolph County, NC in 1763.

1763, 11, 26.  Jacob (Ellott) & W& ch, Jacob, Elizabeth, Hannah, Israel & William rocf Warrington MM, Pa, dated 1763, 9, 20 (I have a copy of the original MM records for this) This is found in the records of New Garden MM in what is now Guilford County, NC.  It would have been Rowan County in 1763

Lauren shared with me the original document that she almost certainly found on Ancestry:

I just realized that this is not the document that my notes tell me that I have in my own collection.  What I meant to put here is the document that the Elliott family would have taken with them from Pennsylvana to their new home in what would have then been Rowan County, NC.  I will look for this document to add on a day when I have more time.  But I won't remove the below as it is excellent in giving dates of births of their children.  My own ancestor, Abraham, has not yet been born.

When I explore the yDNA site more, I find that there is more information that DEFINITELY sounds like my own well documented Elliott line:

I should explain that two Elliot  brothers moved to NC about the same time.  My Ancestor is Jacob Elliot who was definitely married to a woman named Elizabeth.  My data shows her as Elizabeth Moore, but I have no documentation nor proof for maiden name.  Jacob is my ancestor.  His brother is Abraham Elliott married to Priscilla Foulke.   After Priscilla died, Abraham married Sarah Pike who was the widow of William Piggot.  

It is Priscilla who was wife of Abraham when they made the move:

1765, 3, 30 Abraham, & w. Priscilla & ch Stephen, Ruth, John, Samey, Joseph, Abraham, Hester, & Jemima, rocf Warrington MM, Pa. dated 1764, 7, 14 endorsed by Cane Creek MM, NC 1765,1,5

Jacob was a very devout Quaker and his descendants remained Quaker for many generations. They moved with other Quakers into Lost Creek MM, Ohio and Indiana with the huge Quaker exodus out of the south and into the non-slave states of Ohio and Indiana.

One of my favorite genealogy stories can be found on my blog at below URL.  It tells how I know how very devout Jacob was.

Looking at the above information I would guess that the yDNA participant who is explained in this second green box is from my Jacob and Elizabeth's son, William.  I have not done the research to know this to be true so I am just guessing.

There are at least two more yDNA participants in the chart at this URL who fall into the C haplogroup indicating that likely they are connected to my well proven line back to Jacob and Elizabeth, but I do not recognize them as quickly and am not adding them at this time.  My main goal today was to not lose the URL link for this information and to record my thoughts at this time.
