 Place of Origin Earliest Known Ancestor Possible Deep Ancestry
EMYKA Elliott Widford,

Essex,

England

 John Elliott, b. 1604

This participant has also provided the dates for an earlier ancestor, also named John Elliott, who lived between 1512 and 1579 in Bishops Stratford, England.

Southern English Elliott With Asiatic Roots

Family Tree DNA finally estimated the haplogroup for EMYKA as C, on the basis of one match each in England and Scotland. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall among such samples as Belgium, the Uyghurs of Western China, Ostergotland, Iran, Germany, Lithuanians, Spain, Northern Italy and Iraqi Kurds. Since C is fundamentally an Asiatic haplogroup, this haplotype may be Hunnish or Indo-Iranian in origin, and could have come to Britain with the Sarmatians in the Roman Army, or with Norman invaders of Alanic or Visigothic descent.

Although a Sarmatian ancestry would befit an Elliott with roots near Hadrian's Wall, an Alanic ancestry is equally feasible for a Southern English Elliott - as these Elliotts (or Eliots) were reputedly descended from a Norman knight surnamed "Aliot". The name "Aliot" itself may reflect an Alanic heritage.

EMYKA's closest matches are U86SN, FQCMU, 2WN3Q and 7G2DX - all of whom are 1 step distant at 12 markers, but on a very unusual haplotype.
U86SN Elliott Scotland Arlen Elliott,

born 20th century

Mr. Elliott claims that his ancestors came from Scotland, but no further genealogical data is available at this time.

Another Elliott Belonging To Haplogroup C

This haplotype most likely belongs to Haplogroup C. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall among such samples as Belgium, the Uyghurs of Western China, Ostergotland, Iran, Germany, Lithuanians, Spain, Northern Italy and Iraqi Kurds. Since C is fundamentally an Asiatic haplogroup, this haplotype may be Hunnish or Indo-Iranian in origin, and could have come to Britain with the Sarmatians in the Roman Army, or with Norman invaders of Alanic or Visigothic descent.

U86SN is an exact 12 marker match with FQCMU, 2WN3Q and 7G2DX, and just 1 step distant from EMYKA. All "C" Elliotts thus far are probably related to one another.
FQCMU Elliott

Ireland

or

Scotland

 John Elliott, b. circa 1700

The pariticipant believes he is descended from the same John Elliott of Burlington, New Jersey and Chester Cty., Pennsylvania as participant R9BM2. If so, he would also share descent from the Quaker emigrants of Carlow, Ireland.

Another Elliott Belonging To Haplogroup C

This haplotype most likely belongs to Haplogroup C. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall among such samples as Belgium, the Uyghurs of Western China, Ostergotland, Iran, Germany, Lithuanians, Spain, Northern Italy and Iraqi Kurds. Since C is fundamentally an Asiatic haplogroup, this haplotype may be Hunnish or Indo-Iranian in origin, and could have come to Britain with the Sarmatians in the Roman Army, or with Norman invaders of Alanic or Visigothic descent.

FQCMU claims the same ancestry as 10/12 match R9BM2, but he is an exact 12 marker match with U86SN and 2WN3Q , 1 step distant from EMYKA on 12 markers, and only 3 steps distant at 37 markers from 7G2DX. The "C" Elliotts appear more and more to be a related cluster.
2WN3Q Elliott Ireland

 John Elliott,

born ca. 1700

John Elliott (or Ellet) was born in Burlington, New Jersey. His family were Quakers who emigrated from Ireland in the late 17th century. He married his wife Sarah in 1722 and moved to Pennsylvania. This is almost certainly the same John Elliott cited by participants FQCMU and R9BM2.

Another Elliott Belonging To Haplogroup C

This haplotype most likely belongs to Haplogroup C. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall among such samples as Belgium, the Uyghurs of Western China, Ostergotland, Iran, Germany, Lithuanians, Spain, Northern Italy and Iraqi Kurds. Since C is fundamentally an Asiatic haplogroup, this haplotype may be Hunnish or Indo-Iranian in origin, and could have come to Britain with the Sarmatians in the Roman Army, or with Norman invaders of Alanic or Visigothic descent.

At 37 markers, 2WN3Q is 1 step distant from FQCMU, and 2 steps distant from 7G2DX. All "C" Elliotts thus far are probably related to one another.

John Elliott's parents were probably William Elliott and Winifred Thorington. He was born in North Carolina, married an Irish Quaker named Carol Millikan, and died in Sulphur Spring, Indiana.

An Elliott SNP-Tested for Haplogroup C

This haplotype has been SNP-tested as Haplogroup C, just like R9BM2. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall among such samples as Belgium, the Uyghurs of Western China, Ostergotland, Iran, Germany, Lithuanians, Spain, Northern Italy and Iraqi Kurds. The closest matches in YHRD fall among Kurds in Iraq, in Poland, and in London. Since C is fundamentally an Asiatic haplogroup, this haplotype may be Hunnish or Indo-Iranian in origin, and could have come to Britain with the Sarmatians in the Roman Army, or with Norman invaders of Alanic or Visigothic descent.

This participant is a 10/12 match with R9BM2, an 11/12 match with EMYKA, an exact 12/12 match with 2WN3Q and U86SN - and just 3 steps distant on 37 markers from FQCMU. Considering the extreme rarity of haplogroup C in Britain, the identical surnames, and the fact these four Elliotts are virtually each other's only close matches in the Ysearch and FTDNA databases, they may all be related. The fact that both 7G2DX and R9BM2 are descended from Irish Quakers strengthens the likelihood of a relationship between them. The fact that the other matches can apparently be traced to Ireland, Scotland and England suggests that this lineage of Elliotts is relatively far-flung, probably very old, and very likely of Borders origin.

 John Elliott, b. circa 1700

John Elliott lived in Burlington, New Jersey for a while, then relocated to Chester Cty., Pennsylvania in 1722. This line of Elliotts were Quakers, and had emigrated from Ireland with their congregation. Descendants later moved to Virginia and Texas.

Another Elliott SNP-Tested for Haplogroup C

This haplotype has been officially SNP-tested as Haplogroup C, suggesting that close Elliott match EMYKA is also C. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall among such samples as Belgium, the Uyghurs of Western China, Ostergotland, Iran, Germany, Lithuanians, Spain, Northern Italy and Iraqi Kurds. Since C is fundamentally an Asiatic haplogroup, this haplotype may be Hunnish or Indo-Iranian in origin, and could have come to Britain with the Sarmatians in the Roman Army, or with Norman invaders of Alanic or Visigothic descent.

This participant is a 10/12 match with 7G2DX, FQCMU, 2WN3Q and U86SN, and a 9/12 match with EMYKA. Most of the differences are on rapidly mutating markers, such as DYS385b and DYS389ii.

Another Elliott With Haplogroup C

The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall among such samples as Belgium, the Uyghurs of Western China, Ostergotland, Iran, Germany, Lithuanians, Spain, Northern Italy and Iraqi Kurds. Since C is fundamentally an Asiatic haplogroup, this haplotype may be Hunnish or Indo-Iranian in origin, and could have come to Britain with the Sarmatians in the Roman Army, or with Norman invaders of Alanic or Visigothic descent.

At 37 markers, PAD2E is 2 steps distant from 2WN3Q, 3 steps from FQCMU and 4 steps from 7G2DX. This participant clearly belong to our Haplogroup "C" lineage.

The participant is an American citizen. No other information is available at the moment.

An E1b1b or "Mediterranean" Elliott

This haplotype has been estimated as Haplogroup E1b1b. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall mostly among Eastern European Jews, along with one individual each from Great Britain and the Netherlands. The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall in Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Italy, Croatia, Egypt, Albania and Romania. This haplotype may very well be of Mediterranean origin, and might have come to Britain with sea traders, Roman troops or settlers, or even Flemish wool merchants of Sephardic descent.

This participant has no matches so far in our Elliott data set.
XY4QP Elliott New Hampshire,

Admiral Manley Elliott,

circa 1792 - 1880

Admiral Elliott married Abiah Burton of Andover, Vermont in 1812. Census records report that he was born in New Hampshire, and was of English descent.

Another E1b1b Elliott

This haplotype has been estimated as Haplogroup E1b1b. The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall in Italy, Tunisia, Brazil and Spain. This haplotype is most likely of Mediterranean or even North African origin, and could have come to Britain with Mediterranean traders, Roman troops and settlers, or (possibly) Sephardic Jews.

This participant has no matches so far in our Elliott data set.
UZ2SP Elliott London,

Thomas Francis Elliott,

circa 1875 - 1946

Thomas Elliott was living in London as a "journeyman tailor" as of 1910. His father was named William Francis Elliott, and had also been a tailor. Thomas was reputedly estranged from his relatives, most of whom may have emigrated to Canadai

Elliott Belonging To Haplogroup G or G2

This haplotype could be either G or G2. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Germany and England, with many close matches in Germany, England, Scotland, Belgium, Poland, Russia, Belarus, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Hungary and Uzbekistan. Its YHRD matches fall in Italy, Greece, Germany, Belgium and England. This haplotype is most likely of Germanic (e.g., Anglo-Saxon) origin - but it might also have come to Britain from Eastern Europe or the Mediterranean with merchants, Roman auxiliaries or others.

This participant has no matches so far in our Elliott data set.
8EKMT Elliott Walsgrave,

Warwickshire,

England

 ? Elliott,

mid 18th century

The participant can trace his line to Warwickshire in the late 18th century. The family were coal miners in England, which suggests a northern origin. Many are buried at St. Mary's church in Walsgrave. The participant's ancestors arrived in Maryland in 1858, and later migrated to Caseyville, Illinois to work in the coal mines there.

Elliott Belonging To Haplogroup G or G2

FTDNA has estimated this haplotype as a G2. The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall in Western Poland, Germany and Northern Portugal. The closest G2 match in the FTDNA Haplogroup database falls in the Netherlands, followed by additional near matches in England, Germany, Switzerland and Spain. The haplotype appears essentially Germanic in origin, and could have come to Britain with Roman troops, Angles, Jutes, Saxons, Frisians - or perhaps even earlier arrivals from as long ago as the Mesolithic.

This participant has no matches so far in our Elliott data set.
JMQ82 Elliott Scotland Daniel Elliott, Sr.,

born circa 1640

Daniel Elliott sired Daniel, Jr. about 1662 in either Scotland or America. Daniel's son Jonathan was born in 1701 in Framingham, Mass. Jonathan's son and grandson, both also named Jonathan, were born in Worcester Cty., Mass. in 1730 and 1749, respectively. Jonathan III's son Aaron was also born in Worcester Cty. in 1786. Aaron then migrated to Pennsylvania, where his son Simeon was born in 1818. Although the participant claims descent from the Daniel Elliott who married Hannah Cloyes - i.e., the Salem Daniel Elliott - his ancestor may actually have been a different Daniel Elliott.

 Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype is a common variation of I1. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Finland and Italy. The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall among Eastern European gypsies (possibly the result of convergence), Sweden, Greece, Estonia, Norway and Germany. This haplotype most likely came to Britain with Anglo-Saxons, Norse Vikings or other Northern Germanics.

Out of 12 markers, JMQ82 is 1 step distant from Q8S9Z, and 2 steps distant from 6PX8S - both of which claim Scottish ancestral roots. This lineage has no connection with any other lineage claiming descent from Daniel Elliott of Salem, and may represent a different lineage entirely.

George Elliott, Sr.,

born mid-eighteenth century

George Elliott arrived in Pennsylvania from Country Antrim, Ireland. He may have been born in Scotland, or at least his forebears came from Scotland. The participant believes this George Elliott is the same George reported as the earliest known ancestor of YXS4N and Z5AWP.

Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. The closest matches in YHRD fall in Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland and Denmark. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Iceland, Norway, Ireland, the UK and Romania.

This haplotype probably came to Britain with the Danes, the Angles or the Norse Vikings. Nonetheless, the matches in Eastern Europe suggest that it might also have come to Britain with Roman auxiliaries from Pannonia and the Balkans.

At 67 markers, 6PX8S matches GZY67 at a distance of 1 step, and YXS4N and Z5AWP at a distance of 2 steps. All three are clearly related, and may ultimately be descended from a Fairbairn lineage.

James Elliott's father was Thomas Elliott, but no dates were given for him. The family came from Glenalla, County Donegal. At least one branch emigrated to Canada, while another settled in Devon, England, where the participant resides.

 Elliott With An I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. The closest matches in YHRD fall in Norway, Romania, Sweden, Poland and Germany. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall predominantly in Scotland, but also in Ireland, England and Germany - with additional close matches in Wales, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and the Isle of Man.

This haplotype probably came to Britain with the Danes, the Angles or the Norse Vikings.

At 12 markers, N38XU is an exact match with Z5AWP, YXS4N, GZY67 and 8V8X3 - and is closely matched with other members of the "Fairbairn" Elliott lineage.

George Elliott,

1731 - 1804

Although the participant suggests an ultimate ancestry in Scotland, this lineage is more recently Scots-Irish - and the George Elliott mentioned here is undoubtedly the same one cited by 6PX8S and YXS4N. The participant is descended through George's son Robert, who was born in 1759 in Pennsylvania and died in Wilkinson, Mississippi in 1817. Robert's son Alexander was born in 1793 in Kaskaskia, Illinois and died in Winona, Mississippi in 1852. Alexander's son, William Montgomery Elliott, was born in Greenville, Mississippi in 1827 and died in Waukena, California in 1917. His son (or grandson), Knight Aaron Elliott, was born in Jacksonville, Texas in 1886 and died in Tulare, California in 1956.

 Elliott With An I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. The closest matches in YHRD fall in Norway, Romania, Sweden, Poland and Germany. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Ireland, Scotland, England and Germany - with additional close matches in Wales, Sweden, the Netherlands and the Isle of Man.

This haplotype probably came to Britain with the Danes, the Angles or the Norse Vikings.

At 67 markers, Z5AWP matches GZY67 at a distance of 1 step, and YXS4N and 6PX8S at a distance of 2 steps. All three are clearly related, and may ultimately be descended from a Fairbairn lineage.

At 67 markers, YXS4N matches GZY67 at a distance of 1 step, and 6PX8S and Z5AWP at a distance of 2 steps. All three are clearly related. Interestingly, this small Elliott cluster matches very closely with a pair of Irwins, and several Fairbairns (Fairbairn being a Borders surname closely related to the Armstrong clan). We don't know which clan originated this paternal line however.

Mitchell Elliott,

born 20th century

The participant is an American with roots in Tennessee. He claims Scottish ancestry.

 Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. The top six match frequencies in YHRD fall in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, followed by Germany, Switzerland and Northern Spain. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall predominantly in the British Isles, as well as in Norway, Iceland, Hungary, Poland and Austria.

This haplotype probably came to Britain with the Danes, the Angles or the Norse Vikings.

There are no close matches in our Elliott data set so far, even among our few I1 participants.
UEABX Elliott Northern Ireland Robert Elliott,

born early 18th century

Robert Elliott was born in Ulster, but migrated to America in 1740. He initially settled in Delaware or Maryland. His son Samuel was born here in 1745, then later moved to Burkesville, Kentucky circa 1802, and fathered a second family in his sixties. His son John, born in 1810, later settled in Illinois and fathered William George Elliott circa 1835. William fathered John Walter Elliott in 1864. Other branches of the family either remained in Kentucky, or moved to Texas.

 Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. 8 of the 9 top European frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Sweden and Norway. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Norway and Sweden.

This haplotype is very likely of Norse Viking origin.

This haplotype does not fit in with the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts. However, the participant has recently done research that traces his ancestry back to Newcastleton itself. If this participant is a direct descendant of the Redheugh branch of the Elliotts, that may radically alter our interpretation of the Scottish Elliotts and their genetic legacy.

RPT3U and UEABX are separated by a genetic distance of 2 out of 37 markers.
HW8CN Elliott United States George Elliott,

1833 - 1862

The participant has yet to respond to our genealogical inquiries, but resides in Oklahoma, suggesting an origin in the American South - and most likely Scots-Irish descent. The participant has, however, listed George Elliott as an ancestor. Considering his year of and age at death, he may well have been a Civil War casualty. This may also be the same person as William George Elliott (born ca. 1835) mentioned for close match UAEBX.

 Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. 8 of the 9 top European frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Sweden and Norway. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Germany, Norway and Sweden.

This haplotype is very likely of Norse Viking origin.

HWB8CN is 1 step distant from UAEBX on 37 markers and 2 steps distant from RPT3U. All three are clearly related.

 Adam Elliott, 1720 - 1802

Adam was born in Newcastleton, and migrated to Kirton, Norfolk. His son, John Elliott, was known alternately as John Elliott or John Ellett. His grandson was also named John Elliott. His great-grandson, Adam Elliott, was born in North Tuddenham, Norfolk in 1815, and emigrated to the United Status in 1836. He settled first in Monroe County, New York, then moved to Michigan, where he died, iin Hickory Corners, in 1898.

 Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. 8 of the 9 top European frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Sweden and Norway. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Norway and Sweden.

This haplotype is very likely of Norse Viking origin.

 William Elliott, b. 1831

Although William Elliott was recorded in an 1881 census as having been born in Middlesex, family rumor suggests that his ultimate roots were in Jedburgh, Scotland.

 Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. The top 15 European frequencies in the YHRD database fall exclusively in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and The Low Countries. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England and Romania, and the largest number of 2 step matches falls equally in Norway, Denmark and Hungary.

This haplotype is definitely not indigenous "Celtic". It most likely came to Britain with the Norse, the Danes, the Anglo-Saxons, the Flemish or the Normans.

This haplotype does not fit in with the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts, despite the rumor of a Borders origin. However, it does match that of another I1 Elliott who can trace his ancestors back to both Southern England and The Borders.

This participant is a 21/25 match with RPT3U.
3EB8J Elliott Scotland

(possibly)

 Daniel Elliot, b. 1640

Daniel Elliot emigrated from Scotland to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, where his son, Daniel, Jr., was born between 1662 and 1665. Daniel, Jr. testified at the Salem Witch Trials and eventually died in Oxford, Mass., after having resided in Framingham, Mass. and Rumney, New Hampshire.

 Elliott With Nordic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. Almost all the close matches in the YHRD database fall in Sweden, Norway and Finland. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Norway and France, with additional matches in England, Norway, Sweden, Hungary and Germany. This haplotype is most likely of Norse (or possibly Norman) origin.

This haplotype does not fit in with the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts, despite the claim of a Scottish origin.

There are no close matches so far with any other Elliott participants. The fact that three other Elliotts, who are all R1b and appear to be related, claim descent from Daniel Elliot of Salem suggests that 3EB8J's ancestor is another Daniel Elliot entirely - or that one or the other set of Elliotts claiming this descent might be wrong.

Peter eventually migrated to Pennsylvania, where his son William B. Elliott (1797-1863) was born. William himself settled in Kentucky, where his son Houston Elliott (1836-1919) was born. Houston remained in Kentucky.

 Elliott With "Ultra-Norse" I1 Haplotype

The highest geographical frequencies for this haplotype in the YHRD database fall in Greece, Norway and Sweden, and the top matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Sweden, Scotland and Wales. As this is clearly an "Ultra-Norse" haplotype, we suspect it first came to Britain with the Norse Vikings.

There are no close matches in the Elliott data set for this participant thus far.
5DXXW Elliott England

Joseph Elliott,

born ca. 1740

The participant resides in Devon, England, and his ancestors may be from that area, but he has not confirmed Joseph's place of birth. His Elliott lineage has resided in England for at least seven generations, although some in his family believe they may originally have come from Scotland.

 Another Elliott With An I1 Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I1 subclade. The only Old World matches for this haplotype fall in Ravenna, Italy and Macedonia. It looks like an "Ultra-Norse" haplotype nonetheless, and its closest matches in the FTDNA haplogroup database fall in England, Scotland, Iceland, Germany, Norway and Sweden - in addition to Poland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. We suspect this haplotype may appear in Southern Europe because it was brought there by the migrations of Northern Germanic peoples like the Goths and the Suevi after the fall of the Roman empire.

5DXXW has no close matches yet among the other Elliotts in our data set, although we have collected more than a few that are I1.

This haplotype meets the criteria for an "Ultra-Norse" haplotype, with a DYS390 value of 23 and DYS385a,b values of 14,15. All ten of the top matches in YHRD fall in Scandinavia, with the very highest frequencies falling in Norway. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Iceland, Norway, England and Scotland, with additional matches in the Shetlands, the Isle of Man, France and Switzerland. This is clearly of Norse Viking origin.

The closest matches for DYZ48 are with 4SW2P and 3X383, each at a genetic distance of 1 on 22 markers.
3X383 Elliott United States

Stephen Elliott,

1788 - 1872

No other genealogical information is currently available, but the participant resides in Texas - so he most likely has roots in the Southern United States, and is probably of Scots-Irish origin.

All ten of the top matches in YHRD fall in Scandinavia, with the very highest frequencies falling in Norway. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Iceland, Norway, Scotland, England and France, with additional matches in Sweden, the Isle of Man and the Shetland Isles. This is clearly of Norse Viking origin.

WKKGQ matches Irish Elliott 4SW2P on 11 out of 12 markers, with the only mismatch on the rapidly mutating marker DYS439. The two could be related.

John Elliott was born in South Carolina, but migrated westward - along with his youngest son - through Georgia and Alabama. His son Thomas was in Texas by 1860.

 Elliott With Another I1 Haplotype

This haplotype is an Ultra-Norse I1. The closest matches in YHRD fall in Sweden, Denmark, the Ukraine and England. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup are mostly British and Danish. This haplotype most likely came to Britain with the Norse Vikings or the Danes.

BV9HB is 2 steps distant from Irish Elliott 4WS2P on 25 markers. These two could very well be related.

Robert Elliott's son Alexander was born in Coolcran Townland, outside of Tempo, Fermanagh, in 1829. He emigrated to Canada in 1872, and died in Dundalk, Ontario in 1911. This participant believes his branch of the Elliotts was originally Scottish.

 Elliott With Another I1 Haplotype

This haplotype clearly belongs to the I1 subclade, but it is an unusual one that tends to converge with D or E haplotypes. The closest likely I1 matches in YHRD fall in Sweden and Germany. The closest I and I1 matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Iceland, Sweden, Ireland and Hungary.

This haplotype probably came to Britain with the Angles, the Danes or the Norse Vikings.

E2HN7 matches V989Z on 11 out of 12 markers, but has no other close matches.

* This haplotype has two "Elliott" 12/12 matches in Ysearch - records 4FS8A and EH8WR. Please disregard these. They are redundant records added by the participant himself.

This haplotype probably came to Britain with the Angles, the Danes or the Norse Vikings.

268147 is an exact match with E2HN7 on 12 markers, and 1 step distant from V989Z. The family hearsay that this participant had Elliott ancestors appears corroborated.

William is believed to have emigrated from either England or Scotland. He bought property in New Castle County, Delaware in the 1730's, and presumably settled there.

 Elliott With Likely I1 Haplotype

This haplotype has an unusually high DYS390 value for an I1, and that is probably the reason why its closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database are D1 haplotypes from China. Considering its closeness to E2HN7 however, and its conformity to an I1 haplotype in all other markers, we are calling this an I1 until proven otherwise.

Top YHRD match frequencies fall in Egypt, Sweden, Northwest Italy, Germany and Catalonia. The Egyptian and Catalonian matches may be the result of convergence with D-E haplotypes, but the Swedish and German matches are probably I1. Closest I or I1 matches in the FTDNA database fall in England, Ireland, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, France and Hungary.  This haplotype is most likely Anglo-Danish or Viking in origin, its accidental resemblance to D-E haplotypes notwithstanding.

V989Z matches E2HN7 - an estimated I1 - on 11 out of 12 markers, but has no other close matches.

In the YHRD database, this haplotype appears predominantly in Germanic language countries - Friesland in the Netherlands, West Germany, and especially Norway. Its closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall mostly in the British Isles, as well as in such nations as Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Although there are additional matches in Italy, Spain and Hungary, this haplotype probably came to Britain with the Vikings or the Anglo-Saxons.

George Elliott resided in Carlisle, Pennsylvania in or about 1784. Before that he served as an engineer in the Revolutionary War, forging a chain to be extended across the Delaware River. He or his descendants migrated eventually to the south. The participant's grandfather came from Hall County, Georgia, and his father came from Barrow County, Georgia. This line is believed to be of Scottish descent.

 Elliott With Nordic I2b Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I2b subclade. The highest frequency matches in the YHRD database fall in Sweden, Norway and Ireland. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Italy and England, with additional close matches in England, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, Italy and Norway.

We suspect that, in this case, the haplotype has a Viking or Norman origin. There is a secondary possibility that, as a probable I2b with close matches in Ireland and Scotland, this haplotype may have arisen with an indigenous British tribe like the Caledonians, but those matches could easily be attributed to Viking or Norman influence as well.

This haplotype does not fit in with the Elliott genetic mainstream. However, it does share with some other minority Elliott haplotypes the definite suggestion of a Norse or Norse-Gaelic origin.

7YN8K matches JYVZY, GH6B7 and DG2HE on 12 out of 12 markers, and P6E3F on 11 out of 12 markers. All are Elliotts with roots in the Southeastern United States and the Southern Midwest, and are clearly related.

John Elliott was living in Franklin Cty., North Carolina as of 1800. The succession from John to the participant runs through John, Jr., Kincheon, John G., Asa F. and George F. Elliott. The family lived in Franklin and Rowan Counties, North Carolina, Johnson Cty., Tennessee, and Washington Cty., Virginia. George F., the participant's father, moved to Washington State, and lived there until his death in 1971.

The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Italy and England, with additional close matches in England, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, Italy and Norway.

This haplogroup, however, is not typical of the Scottish Elliotts.

DG2HE matches JYVZY on all 37 markers, both P6E3F and GH6B7 on 36 out of 37 markers, and 7YN8K on all 12 markers. All five participants undoubtedly share the same paternal ancestor.

Mack Elliott married Nancy Ann Evans (b. 1859). Mack's son Lattie Elliott was born in 1889, and married Achsah Peterson (b. 1883). Mack's father and mother were Neel or Neally Elliott, who was born in Virginia, and Nancy Bright of North Carolina.

Elliott With Nordic I2b Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I2b subclade. The highest frequency matches in the YHRD database fall in Sweden, Norway and Ireland. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Scotland, Ireland, Germany and Poland, with additional close matches in Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and England - as well as in those countries listed above.

The distribution of this haplotype is predominantly Northern European. This suggests that it may have come to Britain with the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans or the Flemish, but it might also have existed in the British Isles much earlier.

Out of 37 markers, UNNAK is an exact match for DG2HE and JYVZY, and just 1 step distant from GH6B7 and P6E3F. All of these Elliotts are apparently of Scots-Irish stock, with Southern roots.

Jack Elliott was born in Amherst County, but moved to Campbell County later on. He married into the Payne family, and is believed to have lived to a ripe old age.

 Elliott With Nordic I2b Haplotype

This haplotype belongs to the I2b subclade. Its closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall predominantly in England, with singletons in Scotland, Holland, Sweden and Poland. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall in Norway, Hamburg, Austria, Saxony, Greenland and Switzerland. This haplotype is most likely of Anglo-Saxon origin, but could also have come to Britain with the Danes or the Norse Vikings.

Although both V6KWU and most of the other I2b Elliotts have roots in the Southern United States, V6KWU's closest match in this group differs by 5 steps on 25 markers. (The raw DYS389i,ii values are 10,18 versus the Elliott I2b modal 11,17.) Such a distance does not signify a recent shared paternal ancestor.

This haplotype has been estimated by FTDNA to belong to the J1 haplogroup. The highest frequency matches in the YHRD database fall in Sweden (a probable Gothic J2 in Ostergotland), the Caucasus, Turkey, Ethiopia and Syria - with several other matches, mostly among Iberian or Hispanic samples. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Italy, Mexico, Poland, Romania and among Ukrainian Jews.

This haplotype is probably of Semitic origin. It may have come to North Britain with Syrian auxiliaries, Roman settlers or Flemish wool traders of Sephardic descent.

KEKNQ has no matches so far with any of the other Elliott participants.

His six sons - John, William, Henry, Charles, Samuel and James - and his four daughters - Jane, Rhoda, Sarah and Mary - were born in either Sussex or Cranleigh between 1810 and 1831. George, his wife, and all of his children, save for John, Jane and Rhoda, emigrated to the United States, arriving in New York City in 1834. Most of his children eventually settled in either New York State or Athens County, Ohio.

This haplotype has been estimated by FTDNA to belong to the J2 haplogroup, but it might instead belong to J. The closest matches in the YHRD database fall in Greece, Italy, Germany or among Hispanic Americans. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Syria, Poland and Iran.

Since this Elliott lineage originated in Southern England, it should not be expected to bear any genetic resemblance to the Scottish Elliotts. Its J or J2 haplotype is most likely of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern origin, and might have come to Britain with Roman settlers, or with later migrants, possibly of Jewish origin. (We should bear in mind that one derivation of Elliott is from the Hebrew name Elias, which means "The Lord is God".)

XH6DS and 8ETQ9 are only 1 step distant on 12 markers. As both claim English descent, they may well be related.

 Elliott With J or J2 Haplotype

This haplotype has been estimated by FTDNA to belong to the J2 haplogroup, but it might instead belong to J. The closest matches in the YHRD database fall in Greece, Italy, Germany or among Hispanic Americans. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Greece and Slovakia.

This haplotype may have come to Britain with Neolithic farmers, Roman auxiliaries, or merchants or tradesmen of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern origin.

The participant believes that his ancestors originally came from Scotland by way of Ulster.

Possible Indo-Iranian Haplotype

This haplotype has been SNP-tested as Haplogroup L, which is found primarily in Central and Southern Asia.

The closest matches in the FTDNA database were a 3 step in Scotland, and a 4 step in Portugal. The closest match in the YHRD database fell in Iran, suggesting that this haplotype may be of Indo-Iranian origin. This haplotype could well have come to Britain with the Sarmatian cavalrymen who guarded Hadrian's Wall, or Norman invaders of Alanic descent.

Participants YA5HB , P9FVK and D724U match on 25 out of 25 markers on a very rare haplotype, clearly indicating that they are related.

Benjamin Elliott,

ca. 1750 - 1793

Benjamin Elliott died in Wilkes County, Georgia. His parents were most likely James Elliott (ca. 1725 - 1770) and Ann Lewis (1732 - 1777) of Surry County, North Carolina. Benjamin was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.

Possible Indo-Iranian Haplotype

This haplotype has been estimated to belong to Haplogroup L, which is found primarily in Central and Southern Asia.

The closest match in the YHRD database fell in Iran, suggesting that this haplotype may be of Indo-Iranian origin. This haplotype could well have come to Britain with the Sarmatian cavalrymen who guarded Hadrian's Wall, or Norman invaders of Alanic descent.

P9FVK is an exact match on 25 markers with YA5HB , and just 1 step distant on 37 markers from D724U. All three belong to the same lineage.

William Elliott,

ca. 1798 - 1878

William Elliott married Nancy Bierly in Rowan County, North Carolina in 1814, and they eventually moved to Washington County, Indiana. We strongly suspect that William was of Scots-Irish origin.

Norse Viking Elliott Haplotype

This is Haplogroup R1a, indicating an origin among the Norse Vikings. The top five matches in YHRD fall among the Hungarian Romani, and in Norway, Groningen, the Caucasus and West Germany. Top FTDNA matches fall in England, Scotland, India, Hungary, Iceland, Russia, Lithuania and Germany.

734EQ is 1 step distant from 39YRS on 37 markers, 1 step distant from AU45D on 25 markers, and 1 step distant from QHXKK on 12 markers. All four are most likely related.

* Please note that 734EQ (and Kit #142955) has earlier entries for the same participant in Ysearch and the Border Reivers Project with the ID's T9TQ4 and N4956, respectively.

Samuel George Elliott,

1788 - 1863

Samuel Elliott was a surveyor and mining engineer from Devon (and perhaps also Cornwall) who married into the Rendels, an eminent family of engineers, and emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand in 1843. His son George Edwin Elliott was born in 1830, and George's son was Robert Horace Elliott. Robert moved to Sydney, Australia and had a son named Ernest Clyde Elliott.

Baltic R1a Elliott Haplotype

This is another R1a haplotype *, which may or may not be of Norse Viking origin. The vast majority of the matches in YHRD - including the highest frequency ones - fall in Poland and Northern Germany. Top matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Germany, Russia, Siberia and Mongolia. It appears to have a Baltic orientation, and could have come to Britain with Angles and Danes as well as with Norwegians. There are a few matches in France, England and Italy, suggesting a possible Norman origin.

Considering that this Elliott participant claims ancestry in the Devon and Cornwall areas of Southwest England, he could be a descendant of the St. Germains Eliots, who were themselves reputedly descended from a Norman knight. However, since the Elliott surname has multiple origins, this branch could have originated from an English source unrelated to either the St. Germains Eliots or the Scottish Elliotts.

There are no close matches with any other participant so far.

* This, incidentally, is the only "Border Reiver" haplotype among all of our official participants that exhibits a value at STR marker DYS464e. That value is 16, but it is not posted because our present format has no place for it. However, it is displayed in Ysearch.

Elliott With Possible L21 Haplotype

The closest matches in the FTDNA database include Northern Ireland (participant XQR3K) and England, but mostly Siberia. The closest YHRD match on markers 19/390/391/392/393 falls in Athens, Greece, consistent with an Haplotype 35 origin - but the closest absolute match is a one step mutation out of 9 markers in Western Norway. The DYS390=23 and DYS393=12 combination occurs significantly more often in Western Norway (e.g., 7.8 percent) than anywhere else in YHRD, and is also proportionately far more common among those in the Sorenson database with origins in Scandinavia and the Baltic regions of Poland and Germany.

This haplotype, however, is most likely of native Celtic origin as it may belong to R1b sub-clade L21, which is overwhelmingly more common in the Celtic fringe of the British Isles than anywhere else.

2Z62Z matches XQR3K on 32 out of 37 markers, and YVQU6 on 23 out of 25 markers. Considering their shared origin in the Donegal Bay area, and the rarity of their haplotypes, these three are most likely related.

We might also note that - out of 37 markers - 2Z62Z is 6 steps distant not only from XQR3K, but from two members of a cluster of Fermanagh & Donegal Elliotts who have been tested to 37 markers - 2J4KB, G8HXP and PV8VD. FTDNA officially classifies distances of 6 or more out of 37 markers "Unrelated", but it is interesting that the only entries in Ysearch that 2Z62Z matches within a distance of 8 steps are these Elliotts - and only these Elliotts. Again, considering the similar place of origin, identical surname, and the shared general rarity of their haplotypes, there is perhaps a possibility that all these Elliotts are distantly related and represent a lineage old enough to have borne the Elliott surname since Border Reiver times.

Out of 67 markers, 2Z62Z is 6 steps distant from XQR3K, confirming the likely relationship between them.
XT27N Elliott Screen Townland,

 Thomas Elliott,

1838 - 1931

Thomas Elliott is the grandfather of the participant, who with his brother still operates a sheep farm in Screen, Donegal. The particpant and his brothers inherited the farm owned by XQR3K's great-uncles when XQR3K's father declined the bequest. These families were not only neighbors in Screen, but were clearly related. XQR3K's grandfather John Elliott was reputedly a cousin (degree unknown) of XT27N's uncle Andrew Elliott, who emigrated to Winchester, Mass. in the early 20th century. The fact that the names of XQR3K's great-uncles James and Robert Elliott appear on Thomas Elliott's tombstone alongside the names of his own children provides further evidence of a close kinship. Participant XQR3K believes he may be the second or third cousin once removed of participant XT27N. Since FTDNATip suggests that there is at least an even chance of a MRCA within 4 generations between these two, XQR3K may well be right.

Elliott With Possible L21 Haplotype

The closest matches in the FTDNA database fall in England, Scotland, Ireland, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Hungary, Spain, France and Croatia. The highest frequency matches in the YHRD database fall in Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Greece, the Ukraine, Romania and France. This pattern of geographical matches suggests the possibility of an Eastern European origin - e.g.,Dacians, Thracians or Sarmatians serving at Hadrian's Wall or Norseman - but, ultimately, the fact that this participant is R1b could also suggest a local origin somewhere in Western Europe.

In fact, this haplotype is most likely of native Celtic origin as it may belong to R1b sub-clade L21, which is overwhelmingly more common in the Celtic fringe of the British Isles than anywhere else.

Out of 37 markers, XT27N is 4 steps distant from YVQU6, and - out of 67 markers - this participant is just 2 steps distant from XQR3K. All three are most likely related.

 Jeremiah Elliott,

born circa 1780

Jeremiah fathered William Thomas Elliott in 1797. Both had Donegal roots, possibly in Ballyshannon - although this line of Elliotts may have come from Enniskillen, Fermanagh before that. Jeremiah married Anne Trotter, born circa 1780. William Thomas's children were born in Claragh, Rahalton, County Fermanagh in the period 1827 through 1835. Another son of Jeremiah, George Elliott, was born circa 1810 and married Mary Bell. Jeremiah Elliott emigrated with his fammily to Quebec in 1835. George's son John was born in Canada in 1839, and John's son Alfred was born in Quebec in 1872. Branches of this family later lived in Grundy County, Iowa, South Dakota and eventually Saskatchewan circa 1911.

The highest frequency matches in the YHRD database fall in Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Greece, the Ukraine, Romania and France. This pattern of geographical matches suggests the possibility of an Eastern European origin - e.g.,Dacians, Thracians or Sarmatians serving at Hadrian's Wall or Norseman - but, ultimately, the fact that this participant is R1b could also suggest a local origin somewhere in Western Europe.

In fact, this haplotype is most likely of native Celtic origin as it may belong to R1b sub-clade L21, which is overwhelmingly more common in the Celtic fringe of the British Isles than anywhere else.

YVQU6 stands at the genetic center of the most common Elliott lineage in the vicinity of Donegal Bay and Fermanagh. Out of 37 markers, YVQU6 is 3 steps distant from 2Z62Z and SVC6H, 4 steps distant from XT27N, and 5 steps distant from XQR3K, G8HXP, PV8VD, FMNEA and 2J4KB. All of these Elliotts are probably related, albeit some considerably more distantly than others.

 James Elliott,

circa 1840 - 1900

James Elliott was a farmer and roadbuilder in the Blue Stack Mountains region of Donegal. He married the former Isabella Graham (born ca. 1848), and raised four sons - Robert, Henry, John and James - and two daughters - Jane and Kate. John and Henry emigrated to the Boston area, settling in Arlington, Mass. John had a cousin named Andrew, also from Screen, who also emigrated to Massachusetts, settling in Winchester and raising a family of policemen.

Only John's youngest brother James remained in Ireland. When he died (without issue) in 1952, the local Donegal paper stated the the Elliotts were "the oldest (Scottish) family in this part of Ireland". According to family tradition, the Elliotts had been in Donegal since the late sixteenth century.

Elliott With Possible SNP-Test L21 Haplotype

This participant's closest FTDNA Haplogroup matches fall in Hungary, Iceland, England, Northern Ireland and Scotland - but the largest number still fall in Siberia. His highest frequency YHRD matches on a haplotype that shares STR values for 14, 389i,ii, 390, 392, 393 and 385a - with a 385b value ranging between 14 and 16 - fall among overwhelmingly among Eastern Europeans - e.g., Russians, Poles, Ingushians (Ingushia is next door to Ossetia), Northern Greece, Slovakia, the Ukraine, Slovenia and Romania. His YHRD matches on markers 19/390/391/392/393 fall in Turkey, Syria, Emilia Romagna (where the Italian town "Sarmato" is located), Macedonia, the Czech Republic, among Indo-Pakistanis in London, and in parts of Spain and Germany. Closest matches in the Oxford Ancestors database are a Macedonian, a Czech and a Canadian.

(Despite the "eastern" nature of his YHRD geographical spread, XQR3K has recently been SNP-tested as L21+, a sub-clade of R1b which is overwhelmingly more common in the Celtic fringe of the British Isles than anywhere else. His top two locations in his DNA Tribes results, based on 21 pairs of extended CODIS markers, fall in Strathclyde, Scotland and Dundee, further suggesting that this individual is unequivocally of native Scottish descent.)

At 67 markers, XQR3K is 2 steps distant from XT27N. At 37 markers, XQR3K shares 33 markers with YVQU6 and 32 markers with 2Z62Z. All of these individuals are most likely members of a widespread cluster of R1b Elliotts that predominates among those with roots in Fermanagh and southern Donegal.
F2UJ3 Elliott Ulster

Joseph Elliott,

b. 1750's, died 1830's

Joseph Elliott may have emigrated from Ireland to Maryland or Pennsylvania in the 1770's, eventually moving to Ohio. His son Thomas was born in 1787 and died in Ohio in 1862. Margaret Elliott, apparently Thomas's daughter, gave birth to an illegitimate son, Marion, who married Sophie Elliott - descendant of another Scots-Irish Ohio Elliott family. Marion is the participant's great-grandfather.

 Ulster Elliott Not Patrilineally Related To Main Elliott Line

Although this Elliott is directly descended from multiple Elliott lines, his great-grandfather was the illegitimate son of a woman of the surname Elliott. Hence, strictly patrilineal descent cannot be traced back to the Scottish Elliotts of the Border Reiver days. The haplotype exhibits its highest YHRD match frequencies by far in the Netherlands. Most of the close FTDNA matches likewise fall in countries such as England, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Holland and Iceland - although the two closest are in Ireland. Although R1b, this haplotype may be Anglo-Saxon in origin.

F2UJ3 is 3 steps removed from the Elliott Modal Haplotype, and its closest matches are with PJKJK and SCBXB, both of which are 1 step distant out of 12 markers.

William Elliott,

1834 - 1879

William Elliott was the son of Samuel Elliott and Grace Sandoe. Samuel's father was probably Robert Ellett - and may have been from St. Just of Roseland, but that has not been verified. William emigrated to Australia in 1855. He worked as a gold miner (with little success), and sired about twelve children in several marriages. He had 100 grandchildren, and some of his descendants now live in New Zealand.

 New Cornwall Elliott

This haplotype is 2 steps distant from the Elliott Modal Haplotype, and does not suggest kinship with the Scottish Elliotts. It exhibits its highest YHRD match frequencies in the Netherlands. Most of the close FTDNA matches likewise fall in countries such as England, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Holland and Iceland - although the two closest are in Ireland. Although R1b, this haplotype may be Anglo-Saxon in origin.

John Elliott was born in either Virginia or North Carolina, but was living in Granville County, NC by 1822. He married Susan Mitchell and fathered the following children: William Dudley (1813), Mary Ann Elizabeth (1814), Richardson Mitchell (1815), John Hinton (1820), and daughter Roan (1822). John later moved to Cape Girardeau, Missouri and fathered two more children: Robert Alexander (1833) and Nancy Ross (1835). All the Elliott children, save the two youngest, married in Cape Girardeau, and most later moved to Texas in the 1840's.

"North Sea Celtic" Elliott Haplotype

This is an R1b Elliott haplotype 2 steps removed from the Scottish Elliott Modal Haplotype, and quite possibly represents a different lineage. Its geographical match pattern appears Anglo-Saxon or Danish. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Germany, Denmark, Scotland and France. The top match frequencies in YHRD fall in Denmark, West Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and The Netherlands. This is the classic "North Sea Celtic" match pattern for R1b haplotypes that differ from AMH only by a DYS390 value of 23.

PJKJK has no close matches thus far among the other Elliotts in our data set.
B9ZMX Elliott

John Elliot,

late 1700's, early 1800's

John Elliott married Sarah Johnstone, and had a son named Edward, who sealed a will in 1837 with a signet ring that bore the Arkleton crest. Lady Eliott of Stobs mentions Edward in The Elliots: The Story of a Border Clan, advancing the assumption that he was descended from a younger son of the Laird of Arkleton. Two of Edward's sons emigrated to Australia. George Henry (1822 - 1903) became an industrialist, and his son Charles Henry (1851 -1947) became Deputy Lord Mayor of Melbourne.

"North Sea Celtic" Elliott Haplotype

This is an R1b Elliott haplotype with roots in Berwickshire. Its closest match is an 11/12 with an Elliott of Durham extraction. Its geographical match pattern appears Anglo-Saxon or Danish. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall predominantly in England, Germany, Denmark, and other largely Teutonic locales. The top match frequency in YHRD falls in Denmark, followed mostly by locales in Germany, Austria and Poland - with only one in Iberia. This is the classic "North Sea Celtic" match pattern for R1b haplotypes that differ from AMH only by a DYS390 value of 23.

This haplotype matches 26YRN on 11 out of 12 markers, and all of the WAMH Elliotts on 10 out of 12 markers. An ancestral relationship with the Scottish Elliott mainstream is plausible, but the relationship is not likely to be close. Of the two most common 25 marker signatures of the Scottish Elliotts, the closest is 5 steps distant from B7ZMX.

Two earlier generations of this branch of Elliotts may have been born in Newfoundland prior to this one, circa 1750 and 1780. The family may have come from either Ireland or Southwest England. Rubin or John's son was named Rubin (or Reuben) Elliott, born in Crow Head, Twillingate in 1847 and died there in 1925. He married Sarah Jane Elliott, who may have been a cousin, before 1876 and fathered Claude Andrew Elliott in 1896. Claude also spent his life in Twillingate and died there in 1970.

The top match frequencies in YHRD fall in Denmark, West Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and The Netherlands. This is the classic "North Sea Celtic" match pattern for R1b haplotypes that differ from AMH only by a DYS390 value of 23.

Out of 37 markers, KRU7U is 6 steps distant from W3G83 and RR73J. This is just outside the official realm of "Possibly Related", and neither W3G83 nor RR73J are at all closely related to each other or to any other Elliotts in our data set, which suggests that KRU7U's fairly remote resemblance to these entries does not mean very much. Out of 25 markers, KRU7U is 2 steps distant from FV585, 9MMTE, S24AV and YY4QM. The bottom line is that KRU7U - although close - may not be close enough to the Elliott genetic mainstream to belong to it.

Samuel Elliott fathered Samuel, Jr. (1773-1856), William Elliott (born around 1774) and James Elliott (1775 - 1847). James is the participant's direct ancestor, whom he shares with participant KNAGA below. James Elliott died in Ohio Twp. (the same as Ohioville?) on July 26, 1847.

This is 2 steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This is another Scots-Irish Elliott R1b from Pennsylvania. It differs from the main Elliott line by 1 step on DYS390 (23 vs. 24) and 1 step on DYS389i (14 vs. 13). (The higher DYS389i value also offsets the DYS389ii value by 1.) It could be related to the main Elliott line, but not necessarily. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in the British Isles and Sweden, followed by additional matches in the British Isles, Denmark, Iceland, Germany and Spain. The top European frequencies in YHRD fall in The Netherlands, Northern Italy, Portugal, England, the Rhineland and Belgium. The match pattern is that of a "North Sea Celtic" haplotype, suggesting an Anglo-Saxon, Flemish or Danish origin.

QHR4Z and KNAGA are a 12/12 match and claim the same direct ancestor born in 1775.

 Thomas Elliott, b. 1851

Thomas Elliott's son John was born in Gateshead, Durham in 1876, and died in Cape Town, South Africa in 1959. His son, Archbold Sayer Elliott, was born in 1909, and died in Johannesburg in 1985. His son, the participant, was born in South Africa, but has lived most of his life in England.

"North Sea Celtic" Elliott Haplotype

This is an R1b Elliott haplotype from Northern England which is no more than a 10/12 match with any other haplotype in our data set. It matches the 25 marker Elliott Modal Haplotype on only 18 markers. Its geographical match pattern appears Anglo-Saxon or Danish. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall predominantly in England, Denmark, Germany, and other largely Teutonic locales. The top match frequency in YHRD falls in Denmark, followed mostly by locales in Germany, Austria and Poland - with only one in Iberia. This is the classic "North Sea Celtic" match pattern for R1b haplotypes that differ from AMH only by a DYS390 value of 23.

This haplotype is not overly distant from the Elliott genetic mainstream, but neither does it seem closely related.

William Elliott, born ca. 1804

William Elliott is recorded as having been born in London, according to a census of Marlebone that lists him as 57 in 1861, and his wife Eliza as 55. The participant himself emigrated from England to Australia in 1964.

This is 3 steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from WAMH by 3 steps on 12 markers. The top match frequencies in YHRD fall in Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Portugal. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, England, Scotland and France. It is most likely of Northern European origin, and may have come to Britain with the Norse Vikings, the Normans, the Anglo-Saxons or the Danes.

This haplotype is a 25/25 match with London Elliott J9TS6, and may represent a separate lineage of Southern English origin. On the other hand, its basic 12 marker pattern is one of the most common haplotypes among the Rutledges, themselves an English family from the Borders. It is also an 11/12 match with PJKJK.

George Elliott was born in Texas, but also lived in Oklahoma and Arkansas. He was a physician and married many times.

Unusual "North Sea Celtic" Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the North Sea Celtic Haplotype by 3 steps on the DYS385a marker, 1 step on DYS385b, and 2 steps on DYS439. One of the closest haplotypes in YHRD likely to yield R1b matches - one with DYS385a,b values of 12,14 - exhibits its highest frequencies in Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and West Germany. Like many R1b haplotypes, this one could suggest either a Celtic or a Northern Germanic origin.

5JXFP and MP4AY are an exact match on 25 markers, claim the same 19th century ancestor, and clearly belong to the same lineage. Neither has any close matches with any other Elliotts in our data set.

No genealogical information is available from this participant at this time. A British (or Northern Irish) ancestry is assumed.

3 Steps From Armstrong Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype by a DYS390 value of 23 and a DYS391 value of 13. The latter value is extremely rare. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Scotland, England, Ireland, Germany, Sweden and the Shetland Isles. The highest frequency matches in the YHRD database fall in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. Judging by these geographical match patterns, this haplotype could easily have arrived in Britain with Iberians, Celts, Flemish, Anglo-Saxons or even Vikings.

Thus far, this haplotype has no close matches with any other Elliott haplotypes. It is an exact 12/12 match with a few Scotts and Armstrongs in Ysearch, but unfortunately no additional markers are available for a more extended comparison.

James W. Elliott,

born 20th century

The participant thus far claims Scottish heritage, but is an exact match with an Elliott of Southern English origin. More detailed genealogical info is forthcoming.

Rare Elliott R1b Haplotype With Match In Southern England

This haplotype differs from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype only on two markers, at DYS390, where the value is 23 rather than 24, and - most significantly - at DYS19, which mutates slowly and where the value is an unusual 16. The closest match in the FTDNA Haplogroup database falls in Scotland, followed by 1 step mutations in England and the Shetland Isles, and 2 step mutations all across the British Isles and the Teutonic nations of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and the Netherlands, as well as a few from Italy, Portugal and Spain. The European matches in the YHRD database fall in Germany and the Rhineland. This haplotype may be of Anglo-Saxon, Flemish or Norman descent, but it might also be of native Celtic origin.

Although the participant thus far claims a Scottish heritage, this rare haplotype is an exact match on 12 markers with Sussex Elliott 9B7SA. BYNKM may be ultimately of Southern English origin. Conversely, 9B7SA may actually be Northern English or Scottish.

Fittleworth,

West Sussex,

England

John Elliott, 1761 - 1821

The participant is absolutely certain he is descended from Edward Elliott, born 1811, but believes there is a high probability that he is also descended from John Elliott, born two generations earlier. He has also identified Elliotts in the Fittleworth area as far back as the 14th century. The Sussex Subsidy Rolls list Godefrey Eliot, William Eliot, Robert Elyot and John Elyot, all of whom lived within ten miles of Fittleworth between 1327 and 1332. Notice the spelling of the name. This Elliott line may or may not be descended from the Eliots of St.Germains, but it most likely originated in Southern England and is not related to the Scottish Elliotts of the Border Reiver period.

Elliott R1b Haplotype From Southern England

This haplotype differs from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype only on two markers, at DYS390, where the value is 23 rather than 24, and - most significantly - at DYS19, which mutates slowly and where the value is an unusual 16. The closest match in the FTDNA Haplogroup database falls in Scotland, followed by 1 step mutations in England and the Shetland Isles, and 2 step mutationsall across the British Isles and the Teutonic nations of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and the Netherlands, as well a few from Italy, Portugal and Spain. The European matches in the YHRD database fall in Germany and the Rhineland. This haplotype may be of Anglo-Saxon, Flemish or Norman descent, but it might also be of native Celtic origin.

The differences between this haplotype and the Elliott Modal Haplotype, coupled with the likelihood of a long history in Southern England, suggest that this is a separate Elliott line, with no connection to The Borders. It is, however, an exact match on 12 markers with BYNKM.

(probably)

Robert Elliott,

1821 - 1864

Robert's birthplace is unknown, but his sister was born in 1820 in Coothill, County Cavan - so most likely he was born there too. Robert, his parents, William and Anne Elliott, and his sister Mary emigrated to Canada between 1821 and 1823 and settled in Port Hope, Ontario. Robert migrated to Michigan in 1853, and died in Davisburg, Oakland County in 1864. The close genetic resemblance to NNJ2A, plus the shared connection to Port Hope, suggest that FZ2PG and NNJ2A belong to the same lineage.

Unusual Elliott R1b Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype on three markers - at DYS19, where the value is 13 rather than 14, at DYS385b, where the value is also 13 rather than 14, and at DYS389i, where the value is 14 rather than 13.

The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall in Sweden, Spain, Belgium, Germany and Northern Portugal. The closest matces in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in France, Ireland, Scotland and Sweden - with additional matches in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and especially Norway, Sweden and Iceland. This haplotype is common enough to have come from anywhere in Western Europe, but a Norman, Flemish, Danish or Viking origin is a distinct possibility.

NNJ2A and FZ2PG are just 2 steps distant on 37 markers.

Thomas Henry Elliott,

born circa 1845

Thomas H. Elliott was born in Canada of Northern Irish parents. A carpenter and a Methodist, he married Matilda Kenny in 1869. He died in Newboro, Leeds County, Ontario after receiving an axe cut that turned gangrenous. Three sons - James, William Edgar and Thomas Albert - survived to adulthood and emigrated to Syracuse, New York. James (the participant's grandfather) eventually established a farm in Hounsfield, Jefferson County, New York.

Unusual Elliott R1b Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype on three markers - at DYS391, where the value is 10 rather than 11, at DYS385b, where the value is 11 rather than 14, and at DYS389iI, where the value is 27 rather than 29.

The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall in Albania, Eastern France, Greece, and in Spain and among Hispanics. All of the closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in the United Kingdom. Despite the high frequency matches in Southeastern Europe, this haplotype is most likely native British (or prehistoric Iberian) in origin.

8QVBG has no close matches thus far in our Elliott data set.

This haplotype could have come from anywhere in Western Europe - including Scandinavia - but was most likely indigenous to the Celtic speaking population of Britain.

HD5SH stands near the center of Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream. At 37 markers, this individual is 2 steps distant from JCGSM, 3 steps distant from Elliotts UZ2YQ, DCYY3, 8DYMA, 9G5TS, XV3T8, 84T4Q, and Ellwood HYQRX, and just 4 steps distant from several other Elliotts.

Out of 67 markers, HD5SH is 2 steps distant from JCGSM, 3 steps distant from 9G5TS and 84T4Q, and 4 steps distant from ZRRKF, ZUNN4, CESDB and PWYXE. This participant stands clearly in the center of the Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream despite a DYS391 value of 10.

This is 1 step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This is another Scots-Irish Elliott R1b. It differs from the main Elliott line by 1 step off on DYS391 (10 vs. 11) .

This haplotype is one of the more common in the Border Reiver database, and has a wide range. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Austria, Russia, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, the Shetland Isles and France. The ten highest European frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Portugal, the Netherlands, Spain and Norway. This haplotype could have come from anywhere in Western Europe, but was most likely indigenous to the Celtic speaking population of Britain.

This haplotype is actually closer to the Armstrongs than to the Elliotts, scoring one 23/25 match, and two 21/25 matches, with members of the Armstrong clan - including one with known roots in Ballymena, Antrim.

Robert Elliott,

1839 - 1872

Robert Elliott's parents may have been an Irish couple named William Elliott and Sarah Ralston, but this has never been proven. Robert reputedly married Sophia Wareham, then emigrated to America - although other sources claim that Sophia Wareham was, in fact, born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. There is another family story that complicates matters, throwing the legitimacy of this Elliott line into question. Supposedly, this Elliott line is descended from a maid for a rich Irish family who became pregnant, and was then married off and sent to America, but this story also has never been proven.

This is 2 steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Western Atlanic Modal Haplotype by a DYS385b value of 13 and a DYS439 value of 13. Since both occur on rapidly mutating markers, these differences may not be significant. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in the British Isles (England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales), areas of Scandinavian settlement (Norway, Iceland and Shetland), and Germany - with singletons in France and Portugal. The highest European match frequencies in YHRD fall in Norway, Portugal, Belgium, Sweden, Northern Italy and Denmark. This is a fairly typical Western Atlantic match pattern, with a slight bias in favor of Scandinavia, where WAMH variants with a DYS385b value of 13 are more common.

V47UW has no matches closer than 10 out of 12 markers with any other Elliott participants. Any relationship to the many WAMH Elliotts remains highly tentative until the participant upgrades to 25 or 37 markers.

 John Elliot,

1742 - 1817

John Elliot married Sarah Milhous in 1772, and the couple moved to Frederick County, Maryland in 1778. After his generation, his descendants spelled the surname "Elliott" with two T's. Since John's father-in-law was born in Ireland and the couple married in the Quaker church, the participant surmises that his Elliotts were of Scots-Irish origin - possibly from County Down. John's parents were William and Mary Elliot, and he had a brother named William.

This is 2 steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This is another Scots-Irish Elliott R1b. It differs from the main Elliott line by 1 step off on DYS389ii (30 vs. 29) and 1 step off on DYS439 (11 vs. 12). These differences are not particularly significant, as both markers have high mutation rates.

The highest European match frequency in YHRD falls among the Basques, but 4 out of the top 10 European match frequencies fall in Scandinavia, 2 fall in Germany, and 1 each falls in the Netherlands and Paris. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in a wide range across Northwestern Europe. This haplotype could just as easily have come to Britain with the Vikings or the Anglo-Saxons as with the Celts or the Iberians.

Despite the slight deviation from WAMH, RHTQH fits well within the Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream. The participant's closest matches on 37 markers are 8ZYXG, at a distance of 4 steps, and JJVVZ, Z45D4, FXFVJ and QQFR7 at 5 steps. There are many other Elliott matches at a distance of 6 steps.

These Elliotts have lived in Kershaw County up until the participant, who was born in 1920.

This is another Scots-Irish Elliott R1b. It differs from the main Elliott line by 1 step off on DYS389ii (30 vs. 29) and 1 step off on DYS439 (11 vs. 12). These differences are not particularly significant, as both markers have high mutation rates.

The highest European match frequency in YHRD falls among the Basques, but 4 out of the top 10 European match frequencies fall in Scandinavia, 2 fall in Germany, and 1 each falls in the Netherlands and Paris. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall principally in England, with near matches through the British Isles, Norway, Russia, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere. Taken on face value, this haplotype could just as easily have come to Britain with the Vikings or the Anglo-Saxons as with the Celts or the Iberians.

KY3TD and V88M4 are exact matches on 12 markers, but do not match closely at either 25 or 37 markers. Nor does KY3TD match any of the other AMH Elliott participants any more closely than a genetic distance of 5 on 25 markers. We cannot say for certain whether this Elliott belongs to the mainstream, or to an unrelated branch of the clan.

James was the participant's great-grandfather. His father was also named James.  He emigrated to the United States in 1873, and had settled in Rhode Island by 1880.

This is 2 steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This is another Scots-Irish Elliott R1b. It differs from the main Elliott line by 1 step off on DYS389ii (30 vs. 29) and 1 step off on DYS439 (11 vs. 12). These differences are not particularly significant, as both markers have high mutation rates.

The highest European match frequency in YHRD falls among the Basques, but 4 out of the top 10 European match frequencies fall in Scandinavia, 2 fall in Germany, and 1 each falls in the Netherlands and Paris. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall principally in England, with near matches through the British Isles, Norway, Russia, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere. Taken on face value, this haplotype could just as easily have come to Britain with the Vikings or the Anglo-Saxons as with the Celts or the Iberians.

Although this participant is R1b, with a variant of the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, there are no close matches thus far with any of the other Elliotts. That does not, however, preclude a relationship.
V95VA Elliott

 Ephraim Elliott, b. 1805

Ephraim Elliott was born in North Carolina. No other details are known at this time.

This is 1 step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from WAMH through a DYS389i value of 12 rather than the modal 13, thereby offsetting the DYS389ii value from 29 to 28. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Spain, England, Wales and Germany. The highest European match frequencies in YHRD fall among the Basques, and in Portugal, the Rhineland, Russia, the formerly Celtic portions of Italy, and the Ukraine. The unusual match frequencies in Eastern Europe are tantalizing, but we mustn't jump to conclusions. The matches in Iberia, the United Kingdom, the Rhineland and Northern Italy set the pace, and they suggest a conventional Western European "Celtic" origin.

Out of 25 markers, V85VA is just 1 step distant from the WAMH Elliott Modal variation with the DYS458 value of 18, and just 2 steps distant from the variation with the DYS458 value of 17. This haplotype appears to be well within the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
PEYAA Elliott Scotland George Elliott, b. circa 1728

George Elliott may have emigrated to Ulster before leaving for America. He settled in Carlisle, PA and was a member of the Presbyterian Church. He and his sons (including the participant's ancestor, Alexander) served in the American Revolution.

 This is 2 steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is a variant of the Atlantic Modal Haplotype. It differs from WAMH via the DYS389i,ii markers, which are 12,29 (OA 9,17), while the WAMH values are 13,29 (OA 10,16). Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility.
N27K4 Elliot Midlem Mill,

Roxburghshire,

Scotland

 Gavin Elliot,

1625 - 1678

The participant claims descent from the Midlem Mill Elliots. This line emigrated to Londonderry before the end of the 17th century, then later to Cumberland County,  Pennsylvania and Wilmington, Delaware in the 18th century, finally settling in Georgia in the 19th century. The Georgia Elliotts include Robert Lee Elliott (1868 - 1899), Henry Carter Elliott (1818 - 1865) and David Elliott (1792 - 1854). The earlier Delaware Elliotts include Alexander Elliott (1760 - 1852) and George Elliott (1725 - 1804). Robert Elliott (1695 - 1768) brought the line from Ulster to America, and he was descended from two previous generations of Robert Elliotts and Gavin Elliot himself.

 This is 2 steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is a variant of the Atlantic Modal Haplotype. It differs from WAMH via the DYS389i,ii markers, which are 12,29 (OA 9,17), while the WAMH values are 13,29 (OA 10,16). Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility.

N27K4's 25 marker signature is 5 steps distant from the most common WAMH signature of the Scottish Elliotts, but the participant's YCA IIb marker value of 19 alone deviates a full four steps from the modal value of 23, causing the participant to have no close matches at 37 markers or at 67 markers. The 4 step distance on YCA IIb may have resulted from a single mutation, making the participant appear less closely related to the Scottish Elliotts than he probably is.
D899X Elliott Stewart County,

Tennessee,

United States

 William Littleton Elliott,

1861 - 1940

William's father was apparently a circuit preacher in Kentucky and Tennessee, and the family had an oral history of having come originally from Scotland or England. This participant can cite Elliott kin having been born in the upper South as far back as 1835.

 This is 1 step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is a variant of the Atlantic Modal Haplotype. It differs from WAMH via the DYS389i,ii markers, which are 13,28, while the WAMH values are 13,29. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Ireland, England, Germany, France and Portugal. The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall in Norway, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria. This haplotype is most likely of native British or Celtiberian origin, although it may also have come to Britain with the Vikings or the Anglo-Saxons.

D899X is 1 step removed from the most common 12 marker Elliott haplotype, but more markers must be sequenced before we can suggest that this participant falls within the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
CA5RT Elliott Ballymena,

Northern Ireland

 Samuel B. Elliott,

b. 1751

Samuel Elliott emigrated to America. The participant is descended from the fifth of his six sons, Alexander Campbell Elliott, who was born in Alleghany Cty., Maryland in 1788. Alexander's son Alexander C. Elliott, Jr. was born in Licking Cty., Ohio in 1823. His son Charles was born in Wisconsin in 1856. The participant claims descent from the same Samuel Elliott as C8PQB.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.
CZXN3 Elliott

County Donegal,

Ireland

 John Elliott,

1715 - 1784

John Elliott's father may have been Richard Elliott (1684 - 1758), who was born in Buckfastleigh, Devon, England. It would be quite a coincidence if a Scots-Irish Elliott had the same origins as a Southwest English Eliot, but stranger things have happened. However, since John Elliott emigrated to Cumberland, Pennsylvania during the 18th century, his Donegal roots are almost certainly authentic. John's son William Elliott was born in Pennsylvania in 1757.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

Maryland,

United States

William Elliott, Sr.,

born 1743

William's son, William, Jr., resided in Wilkes County, North Carolina. William's son, Daniel, migrated to Kentucky, residing in Clay County and later in Laurel County, where he was buried. The participant believes his ancestors were Scots-Irish.

WAMH Elliott With Null DYS439 Value

This haplotype is Western AMH, except a Null DYS439 value. Like regular WAMH, this haplotype is most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility.

GQ2KY is the only Elliott in our data set with a Null DYS439 value. This defaults to "12" when FTDNA reports the results, but does constitute a slight deviation from WAMH. At 37 markers, there are no close matches with any other Elliotts in this data set.

CBAB6 Elliard

Northern England

 John Elliard, 1717 - 1799

John was born in the Borders area of Northern England. He eventually changed his name to Elliott from Elliard, which was his father's name. His son Edward Elliott was born on ths Scottish side of the border in 1749, but settled in Kent after marrying a girl from that part of England. His son John Henry (1772 - 1838) married a girl with the surname Elliot, and eventually settled in Bedfordshire. The participant's father was born in Shipston-on-Stour, England, but emigrated to Canada.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

Despite the long history of this branch of Elliotts in Southern England, and the occurrence of the name Elliard in the family tree, we believe that this bloodline most likely originated with the Scottish Elliotts.

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 25 markers, CBAB6 matches Donegal Elliott JGNQK at a distance of 2 steps - along with additional close matches with Elliotts that do not hold at 37 markers. CBAB6 is not yet a close match to any of the Elliotts at the 37 marker level.

AR8WA's closest matches include participants with established roots in Donegal, Down, Tyrone and Antrim. This participant clearly belongs to one of the major Elliott lineages in Ulster, and also stands at the center of the Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream.

The Borders,

Scotland

 Walter Elliott,

ca. 1804 - 1874

Walter Elliott was the son of a farm laborer named John. He emigrated to New York State with his son George in 1849. The family settled in Otsego County, which became home for this Elliott line for the next four generations.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 37 markers, CESDB is 3 steps distant from HYQRX, S2CQ8, UZ2YQ, DCYY3, 9MBJR and XV3T8.

Out of 67 markers, CESDB is only 2 steps distant from ZUNN4, 3 steps distant from 84T4Q, and 4 steps distant from JCGSM, HD5SH, PWYXE and ZF47W. This participant is clearly related to the mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
JJVVZ Elliot

Liddesdale,

The Borders,

Scotland

 Robert Elliot (or Elwald), 10th Chief of Redheugh, died 1497

This participant is a direct descendant of Robert Elliot, Captain of Hermitage Castle. He also claims descent from the 11th, 12th and 13th chiefs of Redheugh, and from Martin Elliot of Braidley. Henry Elliot of Peel, a Captain of the Royal Marines, acquired a land grant in Canada between 1815 and 1820, and married in Belleville, Ontario in 1822. (This is the same ancestry as close match NF3FE.)

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 37 markers, JJVVZ is an exact match with S587K, 1 step distant from CESDB and ZUNN4, and 2 steps distant from 84T4Q, 9G5TS, DCCY3, QQFR7, UZ2YQ and XV3T8. JJVVZ also shares 36 markers with fellow Elliots of Braidley descendant NF3FE, although the actual genetic distance is 6. Here is another participant with a lengthy pedigree who stands at the center of the Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream.
NF3FE Elliot

Liddesdale,

The Borders,

Scotland

 Robert Elliot (or Elwald), 10th Chief of Redheugh, died 1497

This participant is a direct descendant of Robert Elliot, Captain of Hermitage Castle. He also claims descent from the 11th, 12th and 13th chiefs of Redheugh, and from Martin Elliot of Braidley. Henry Elliot of Peel, a Captain of the Royal Marines, brought this line to America. He was born in 1790 and reputedly served at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Afterwards, he remained in America and received a land grant in Canada. This Elliot is referred to (under the name William Henry Eliot) on page 247 of "The Elliots: The Story of a Border Clan".

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

This participant has the 25 marker modal haplotype for the Elliott clan. He matches 84T4Q, 9G5TS, XV3TB, UZ2YQ and DCYY3 on 34 out of 37 markers - but with a genetic distance of 8, due to an unusual value of 23 for DYS570. This value alone accounts for 6 steps of the genetic distance. We believe, especially in view of this participant's recorded genealogy, that the 6 step distance is due to one or more rare multi-step mutations on a single STR marker, and that the true genetic distance is closer to 4 or 5. Following this premise, we believe that NF3FE is still within the range of "probable relatedness" to his closest matches.
8ZYXG Elliott County Antrim,

Northern Ireland

Robert Elliott,

1700 - 1786

Robert married Mary Johnston in and fathered Robert, Jr., born 1720. Robert fathered five sons - Charles Edward (1741-1791), William (1745-1806), Robert (1747) and David (1757-1804). David emigrated to Sumpter, Alabama, where he married Elizabeth Knox in 1773.

The fifth son was James Elliott (1759-1825). James initially resided in Altertate Glebe, then moved to a farm in Annaclare, near Rosslea, Fermanagh, in 1815. His son George was born in 1799, and emigrated with his wife Catherine Moore, son William, and twin daughters, to Toronto about 1837.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 37 markers, 8ZYXG matches 9MBJR at a distance of 3 steps, and 2F47W, PWYXE and BY9EW at a genetic distance of 4. There are no closer matches on 37 markers at the moment, but these do suggest that this participant belongs to the WAMH mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
CEF98 Elliott Ulster &

Maryland,

America

 ? Elliott,

born circa 1600

The participant's earliest known patrilineal ancestors emigrated from the British Isles to Maryland with Lord Baltimore in 1634. According to family lore, they were Scots-Irish in origin, although almost certainly Catholic. Descendants of this branch migrated westward over several generations, eventually settling in Fancy Farm, Kentucky by 1800.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

CEF98 has many close matches within the genetic mainstream of the Scottish (and Scots-Irish) Elliotts, but the closest - out of 67 markers - are 6A3UB at a distance of 2 steps, and 9G5TS, 84T4Q and UZ2YQ at a distance of 3 steps.

United States

 David W. Elliott,

1815 - 1858

David Elliott married Mercilda Deeter in Crawford Cty., Ohio in 1840, then Mary Ann Dutcher in Marion Cty., Ohio in 1852. His children are listed as living in a poorhouse, without a father, in 1860. Census stated that the children's father was born in Pennsylvania.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

Although this individual tested with DNA Heritage and is not yet an official participant, he matches CESDB, JGNQK, MCSYP, BJ9EW, JCGSM, PEH2W, NF3FE and 8DYMA on all 25 basic markers. He differs from those tested to 37 markers only on GATA H4, which has a value of 12.
QBXJ8 Ellwood England

Alfred Ellwood,

born 20th century

This participant is a resident of Australia with roots in England. Additional genealogical info has been requested.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 37 markers, QBXJ8 is just 1 step distant from 6A3UB, UJBF6 and YRYCV, and 2 to 3 steps distant from at least 15 other Elliotts with roots in Scotland, Ulster and England. Although an Elwood, QBXJ8 is genetically indistinguishable from the Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream.

JG6GK Ellwood Ulster

William Ellwood,

1758 - 1832

William probably emigrated from Ulster before the American Revolution, and served in the Cumberland County Militia in Pennsylvania.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 25 markers, JG6GK is 2 steps distant from Ellwood participant SW4AV, an exact match with Scottish Elliot Y5XBF, and just 1 step distant from Elliotts NGJ54, JGNQK and 6CVPW. His closest matches in Ysearch at 37 markers are at a distance of 6 steps - irrespective of surname - and include 2 Elliotts and 3 Clendenins (a Borders clan known to have a strong affinity with the main branch of the Scottish Elliotts.)
Y5XBF Elliot Perthshire,

Scotland

Donald Elliot,

born 20th century

This participant is a resident of Perthshire, Scotland. Additional genealogical info has been requested.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 37 markers, Y5XBF is 2 steps distant from JJVVZ, 3 steps distant from CESDB, QPM27, S587K, UJBF6, THSGV, 6A3UB, ZUNN4 and YRYCV, and nearly as close to many others. This participant clearly falls in the genetic mainstream of the clan.
MQAVA Ellett

&

Shelby,

Cleveland Cty.,

North Carolina

John Ellett,

1720 - 1798

John Ellett lived in Virginia, and may have been descended from a Thomas Elliott who emigrated to Virginia in 1640. His son Martin (1750-1836) changed the surname back to Elliott, served in the Continental Army, and settled in North Carolina in 1800. There is a clan of Elliotts near Shelby in Cleveland Cty., North Carolina, who all claim descent from Martin Elliott.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

Although MQAVA is just 1 step distant from one of the most common Scottish Elliott DNA signatures, it has no close matches at 37 markers among any of our other Elliotts thus far.
FW6VY Aylett

Woodham Mortimer,

Essex,

England

William Aylett,

1650 - 1701

William Aylett was living in Woodham Mortimer in the 1680's, but his place of birth is unknown.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

FW6VY is most likely related to F35NM, due to the close match in their genealogy and the rare surname variation that both share. FW6WY and F35NM match on only 23 out of 25 markers, which is not a problem, considering their other similarities. However, FW6VY's second closest match is a 22/ 25 with 6CVPW. At 25 markers, FW6VY differs on 4 steps from the closest variant of the R1b Elliott Modal. In view of how common WAMH is in Britain, this distance suggests that the Essex Aylett may be an entirely distinct lineage from the Scottish Elliotts, and that the similarity between F35NM and those Elliotts may be only a coincidence. Nonetheless, it would be interesting to see if a close match persists between F35NM and the other Elliotts up to 37 markers.
F35NM Aylett

Takeley,

Essex,

England

William Aylett,

born circa 1702

This William Aylett may be the son or the grandson of the William Aylett identified above.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

F35NM may or may not be related to the Scottish Elliotts, but there is a possibility that he is. F35NM matches 6CVPW, a Scottish Elliott that claims descent from Martin Elliot of Braidley, on 24 out of 25 markers - and at least 11 other Scottish and Scots-Irish Elliotts on 23 out of 25 markers.
7GUQV Elliott

Sprigfield,

Enniskillen,

Fermanagh,

Northern Ireland

Simon James Elliott,

1897 - 1955

Simon Elliott resided in Tilbury, Ontario as of 1927, and died in Windsor in 1955. He was a veteran of the Royal Field Artillery. His son Gordon was born in 1926, and currently resides in Wallaceburg, Ontario.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

According to both FTDNA and Ysearch, 7GUQV is only 3 steps away from 2T7JS and KGASE on 37 markers. Since both are Elliotts from Western Ulster, they almost certainly share a recent patrilineal ancestor. However, 7GUQV, 2T7JS and KGASE may be more closely related to the Irvines, Irwins and Irvings than to their fellow Scottish Elliotts.
MUS25 Elliott

Ballymena,

Antrim,

Northern Ireland

Captain Samuel Elliott,

1751 - 1831

Samuel Elliott emigrated to America in 1771 and took part in the Revolution. He settled initially in Maryland, but later moved to Licking County, Ohio. He had twelve offspring, some of whom later settled in Shelby County, Ohio, Illinois and Iowa. We believe this is same Samuel Elliott cited by C8PQB.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

Although this is an WAMH Elliott, it is more likely to be connected to the main Armstrong WAMH lineage than to the main Elliott WAMH line - but it does have Elliott matches. The closest Elliott matches in Ysearch are RR73J at a distance of 3 steps at 37 markers, and C8PQB at 4 steps. Both Elliotts share Northern Irish ancestry and are almost certainly related.

T245W Elliott Baltimore County,

Maryland,

United States

 George Elliott, b. circa 1750

William Elliott leased land for his sons, George and Jonathan, from an estate called My Lady's Manor in Baltimore County, Maryland prior to the American Revolution. George's offspring were Benjamin, Leonard, Abraham and Rachel. Abraham stayed in Maryland, while Benjamin and Leonard went to Ohio. Leonard eventually settled in Shelby County. One of his sons, James Rampley Elliott, moved to Clinton County, Indiana. The participant is descended from Jmes's line, which includes Frank Boyd Elliott and Joseph Earl Elliott. Sr., the participant's grandfather and father, respectively. The family is believed to be Scots-Irish.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

Matches 84T4Q, XV3T8, UZ2YQ, 9G5TS and DCYY3 on 35 out of 37 markers, and S2CQ8, V95VA, ZUNN4 and MCSYP on 34 out of 37 markers. This participant is clearly in the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
KMR3E Elliott Baltimore County,

Maryland,

United States

(and Scotland)

 Philip Lock Elliott,

1717 - 1777

Philip's father was probably Thomas Elliott, born 1682. Philip was born in Baltimore County, but migrated to Pittsylvania County, Virginia, where most of his descendants in the line were born until the current generation. Philip married Sarah Day, and sired James Elliott (1753-1830). James sired John Elliott in 1801. John married Susannah May and sired Thomas Jefferson (1831-1886). Thomas married Sarah Elizabeth Tate and sired John William Elliott (1854-1941). John W. married Cordelia Crider and sired David Thomas Elliott (1882-1969). The participant believes the family is ultimately Scottish in origin, but may have spent a few generations in Ulster before coming to America.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

The closest match for KMR3E is with S2CQ8, on 33 out of 37 markers at a genetic distance of 5. Using S2CQ8 as a bridge, KMR3E can also be genetically linked to another Elliott with Baltimore County roots, T245W. KMR3E most likely belongs to the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
S2CQ8 Elliott Selkirk,

The Borders,

Scorland

 William Elliott, b. 1682

Although born in Selkirk,William Elliott moved to Nottinghamshire, England as a young man. Here he became involved in the lace-making and weaving industries, and fathered his son John in 1712. For several generations, John's descendants continued to live in Nottinghamshire, and belonged to St. Mary's parish. In 1850, a depression in the weaving industry impelled this family of Elliotts to emigrate - some to Australia, others to Utah (where they reputedly became Mormons), and some to Ontario and, later, Michigan. The participant is descended from the Michigan branch.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

At 37 markers, S2CQ8 matches WV3T8, 84T4Q, 9G5TS, UZ2YQ and DCYY3 at a distance of 2 steps, and T245W, CESDB, 5UQ94, HYQRX, ZUNN4 and 2F47W at a distance of 3 steps. This participant is clearly part of the Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream.
SW4AV Ellwood Uldale,

Cumbria,

England

 Joseph Ellwood, b. 1841

This participant has deep roots in Cumbria. Like Elliott, the surname Ellwood is derived from Aelfwald, an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "Elf-Ruler". According to family tradition, this name implies possession of the power of second sight.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

Matches SW4AV, WV3T8, 84T4Q, 9G5TS, UZ2YQ, DCYY3 and YY4QM on all 25 markers, clearly verifying that at least some of the Ellwoods are related to some of the Elliotts. Since DCYY3, FV585 and YY4QM are American Elliotts of Scots-Irish extraction, and Mr. Ellwood is English, it is unlikely that they share a common ancestor within 7 generations. However, they unquestionably share a common ancestor. This match constitutes the first genetic proof that the English Ellwoods and the Scottish Elliotts are branches of the same original family.

SW4AV also matches the English Elliott JCGSM, the Scottish Elliott BJ9EW, and the Scots-Irish Elliott MCSYP on 24 out of 25 markers, and both the Northern Durham Elliott 9MMTE and the New England Elliott A7QTF on 23 out of 25 markers.

United States

 William M. Elliott,

1791 - 1858

Although born in Virginia, William Elliott became a Methodist minister and "circuit rider", eventually arriving in Texas in 1835, and dying in Bowie County in 1858. His father may have been William Elliott, Sr. of Pittsylvania County, Virginia - and his earliest known ancestor may have been John Elyotte, born in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, England in 1557. A descendant of this Elliott, named John Elliott, arrived in Virginia in the 1680's. (This participant, however, displays all the genetic characteristics of a Scottish Border Elliott.)

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

A7QTF Elliott United Kingdom

(possibly first Scotland, then England, and, finally, America)

 Edmund Elliott, born ca. 1629

Edmund emigrated from Great Britain to Massachusetts, and married Sarah Haddon in Amesbury, Essex Cty. in 1658. His descendants eventually settled in Newtown and Merrimack, New Hampshire.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

This participant claims the same ancestry as 4BSF7, although there is only a 9/12 match between the two. Moreover, 4BSF7 matches the Elliott Modal Haplotype even less at 25 markers. This haplotype may actually be closer to the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts. At 37 markers, it is 6 steps distant from DCYY3, 9G5TS, UZ2YQ, 84T4Q, XV3T8 and T245W - all of whom belong to that group. A distance of 6 steps on 37 markers is considered outside the range of relatedness, according to FTDNA - but it is just outside that range, so we should not rule the possibility of a distant patrilineal link.

Harvey Elliott,

born early 20th century

Harvey Elliott was from Knoxville, Iowa. Although he was himself a third generation Iowan, his ancestors came originally from Kentucky, and the first Elliott in this lineage to arrive in America came from London, England. The participant emphasizes that London was probably just the point of departure for this individual, and that he most likely had roots elsewhere in the British Isles.

Western AMH is also the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. Exact match 12 for 12 with all other WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

Jackson Elliott,

1833 - 1911

Jackson Elliott lived most of his life in North Carolina, and may have been born there, but no other information is available at this time.

This is one step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from WAMH in two particulars - a DYS389i value of 14, which offsets the DYS389ii value to 30 - and, more significantly, a DYS392 value of 14 rather than the typical 13. The highest match frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Sweden, Spain, England and Italy, with a wide scattering at low levels in Germany and many hits in Latin America. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Spain and France. These matches suggest an origin among the native Britons - or, rather, the prehistoric Iberians who first populated the island.

9K88E has no close matches so far in our Elliott data set.
CRU65 Elliot British Isles

Grey Elliot,

born 20th century

No other genealogical info is available about this participant at this time.

The closest matches in both YHRD and the FTDNA Haplogroup database suggest a possible Anglo-Saxon origin.

Albert Elliott,

1871 - 1944

Albert Elliott may be the son of William T. Elliott, also from Hancock County, Kentucky, but the participant does not yet have proof.

This is one step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is almost Western AMH. The only difference is a 13 value for DYS439, a rapidly mutating marker whose value is usually 12 for R1b. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility.

Out of 37 markers, S587K is 2 steps distant from ZUNN4 and CESDB, 3 steps distant from DCYY3, 9G5TS, UZ2YQ, XVT3T8 and 84T4Q - and nearly as close to many others. This participant almost unquestionably belongs to the genetic mainstream of the clan.

Out of 67 markers, S587K has numerous close matches with other WAMH Elliotts.

1824 - 1901

Alexander Elliott was the son of the steward and head gardener of Sir Thomas Carmichael of Castle Craig, Peebleshire. He studied botany, and traveled widely in the British Isles before emigrating to Australia in 1856.

This is one step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is almost Western AMH. The only difference is a 13 value for DYS439, a rapidly mutating marker whose value is usually 12 for R1b. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility.

At 37 markers, FRP9N is just 2 steps distant from 84T4Q, DCCY3, XV3T8, 9G5TS and UZ2YQ. Despite the minor variation in DYS439, this participant belongs in the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
569SM Elliott

Leeds,

West Yorkshire,

England

Thomas Elliott,

born 1771

Thomas was born in Leeds and was still living in the city as of 1819. The participant believes his parents were Thomas Elliott and Lydia Shaw, who were married in Leeds in 1770. Their descendant, Edward Elliott, was born in Whitechapel, London in 1870 and emigrated to Australia in 1890. According to the participant, he made a killing at the races in 1893, married his intended, and emigrated to South Africa to take part in the Johannesburg gold rush. He later achieved success as a bookmaker.

This is two steps off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is almost Western AMH. The only differences are a 13 value for DYS439 and 30 for DYS389ii. Top European match frequencies in YHRD fall among the Basques, in Saxony, and among Spaniards and Scandinavians. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall largely in the British Isles, but also in Eastern Europe and Switzerland. It could easily have come to Britain with the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings or the prehistoric Iberians.

The closest matches at 37 markers are with UJBF6, YRYCV and 2PRB5 at a distance of 4 steps, and the closest matches at 67 markers are with 2F47W, 6A3UB, CESDB and S587K at a distance of 5 steps. This participant clearly belongs in the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.

2WPTX Eliot St. Germains,

Cornwall,

England

Sir John Eliot, 1592 - 1632

This is the participant's 8th great-grandfather, a leading English Puritan and Parliamentarian who opposed Charles I. He was later imprisoned, and died in The Tower of London. The participant's 5th great-grandfather was Roger Elliott, 1665 - 1714. Roger was a British soldier who rose to the rank of Brigadier General, and served as Lieutenant Governor of Gibraltar.

(More Info)

 Possible Eliot of St. Germains Haplotype

Since the participant has convincing documentation of his descent from the Eliots of St. Germains, we may assume that his Y-DNA pattern constitutes the haplotype for that family. The Eliots of St. Germains were reputedly descended from William de Aliot, a Norman warrior who shot the arrow into the eye of Harold Godwinson at Hastings. Although the haplotype is just two steps away from Western AMH, it scores exact matches in the Family Tree database with one Finn, one Norwegian and one Pole - which is entirely consistent with a Norman ancestry. The highest frequency matches in the YHRD database include Franco-American samples in the United States and numerous locales in The Low Countries. Considering the Norman alliance with the Flemish, these matches are also consistent with a Norman heritage.

(At 37 markers, 2WPTX is not a close match with any of the other Elliotts in our data set.)
FMNEA Elliott North Carolina,

United States

Benjamin W. Elliott,

ca. 1812 - 1870

Ben Elliott married a woman named Sarah in 1835, and died probably in Shelby Cty., Alabama, where he purchased land in 1856. His son Cyrus was born in Tennesee, followed by six children born principally in Georgia between 1837 and 1848, with the last one born in Alabama in 1849. The participant believes these Elliotts were Scots-Irish.

Possible Close Match With Fermanagh R1b Cluster

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker and by 1 step on the DYS389ii marker. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Scotland, Ireland, Hungary and especially England. The only match in YHRD falls in Hamburg, Germany. This haplotype could easily have come to North Britain with the Angles, but it could just as easily be of native British origin.

At 37 markers, FMNEA is 2 steps distant from SVC6H, and 4 steps distant from PV8VD, G8HXP and 2J4KB. FMNEA is a member of a cluster of Elliotts centered around Southwest Ulster that may include up to 8 individuals. These individuals are loosely enough related to suggest that this cluster has carried the surname Elliott since well prior to 1600, and therefore were Elliotts in Scotland during the Border Reiver days.
RTSX9 Elliott Scotland

Simon Elliott,

born 1816

Simon Elliott married Jane, born 1820, who bore him James H. (1839), Sarah (1842), George (1850), Simon (1852), Eliza (1855), Mary (1859), Janice (1860) and Nellie (1861). Simon and Jane emigrated from Scotland on board the HMS Mercury 1837.

Possible Close Match With Fermanagh R1b Cluster

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker and by 1 step on the DYS389ii marker. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Scotland, Ireland, Hungary and especially England. The only match in YHRD falls in Hamburg, Germany. This haplotype could easily have come to North Britain with the Angles, but it could just as easily be of native British origin.

At 67 markers, RTSX9 is just 2 steps from FMNEA and 5 steps from 2J4KB. At 37 markers, it is an exact match for WTJEC, 1 step distant from SVC6H, 2 steps from ZDVGJ, and 3 steps from PV8VD, V3UJF and G8HXP. RTSX9 belongs to a very old Elliott lineage that is common in Ulster, but which we have never been able to link to any Elliott line that came directly from Scotland - at least until now.

The participant is a Canadian whose ancestor came from Ireland, but who believes his Elliott roots go back to Scotland. No further details are available at this time, but the participant has promised to provide them soon.

Possible Close Match With Fermanagh R1b Cluster

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker and by 1 step on the DYS389ii marker. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Hungary and especially England. The only exact match in YHRD falls in Hamburg, Germany.

On 37 markers, WTJEC is 1 step distant from FMNEA and SVC6H, 2 steps distant from ZDVGJ, and 3 steps distant from V3UJF, PV8VD, 2J4KB and G8HXP. These matches range in ancestral location from Londonderry and Ballymena, Antrim to Fermanagh and Donegal Bay. This participant clearly belongs to Fermanagh R1b cluster, one of the few Elliott lineages found exclusively in Ulster.
SVC6H Elliott Londonderry,

Derry,

Northern Ireland

William Elliott,

1764 - 1842

William Elliott emigrated with his extended family from Londonderry in 1785. After losing most of his family in a shipwreck, he married Sarah Wilke and settled in Chandlersville, Ohio. His brother Simon survived but never married, settling in Fulton Cty., Illinois. William's brother John (1762 - 1843) emigrated a year later to join his brothers in Pennsylvania. He eventually wed Mary Miller and settled in Remington, Ohio. A sister, Margaret Elliott, born 1768 in Belfast, married a cousin named Thomas Elliott and emigrated in 1790.

Possible Close Match With Fermanagh R1b Cluster

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker and by 1 step on the DYS389ii marker. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Scotland, Ireland, Hungary and especially England. The only match in YHRD falls in Hamburg, Germany. This haplotype could easily have come to North Britain with the Angles, but it could just as easily be of native British origin.

On 37 markers, SVC6H is 2 steps distant from PV8VD and 2J4KB, and 1 step distant from G8HXP. On 25 markers, it is 2 steps distant from 73HA8. All participants are of Northern Irish origin, and are probably related.
Z2DH4 Elliott Nottinghamshire,

England

Frederick Elliott,

born 1795

The participant states that Frederick Elliott was born in Nottingham, but no other info is currently available.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker and by 3 steps on the DYS389ii marker. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Mexico and Spain, with additional matches in Spain, Portugal, England, Wales, France, Scotland and Switzerland. This match pattern clearly suggests a Celtic or Iberian origin.

Although Z2DH4 is a 10/12 match with WAMH, its closest Elliott matches on 25 markers include 1 that is 5 steps off, and nearly 10 that are 6 steps off. We cannot conclude that this participant is related to the Scottish Elliott mainstream.
WT7NC Elliott

Virginia,

United States

Robert E. Elliott,

1784 - 1853

Robert Elliott moved to Stonelich Township, Clermont County, Ohio in 1835, and died in Goshen, Ohio in 1853. His father may have been William Charles Elliott. These Elliotts are most likely of Scots-Irish descent.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker.

This haplotype matches JG6GK, 6CVPW, BJ9EW, MCSYP, JG6GK, NGJ54, HYQRX, JGNQK, MTTSY, 8ZYXG, NF3FE and PWYXE on 23 out of 25 markers, and KGASE and JBM8M on all 12 markers. In all the 25 marker matches, both differences occur on rapidly mutating markers. We conclude that this participant falls within the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.
NEP8W Elliott Ireland

Rodney Elliott,

born 20th century

This Elliott claims Irish descent, and most likely belongs to the "Irvine" Elliott cluster found in Ulster. No other genealogical info is available at this time.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14.

At 37 markers, NEP8W matches DNRYW, 2T7JS and KGASE exactly, and JBM8N at a distance of 1 step. All are clearly related.
DNRYW Elliott Enniskillen,

Fermanagh,

Northern Ireland

Hugh Elliott,

1792 - 1844

Hugh Elliott was born in Enniskillen, but died at sea on the way to Canada. His widow Mary, formerly Mary Armstrong of Ballinamallard, settled with her family in Quebec.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14.

DNRYW is another "Irvine" Elliott whose 37 marker results match exactly those of Donegal Elliotts KGASE and 2T7JS, and is just 1 step distant from JBM8N.
KGASE Elliott Castlefin,

Donaghmore Parish,

County Donegal,

Ireland

Elliott ca. 1660

This participant is the uncle of participant 2T7JS, and shares his ancestry.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14.

At 37 markers, KGASE matches 2T7JS and DNRYW exactly, JBM8M at a distance of 1 step, AS57E and C53C9 at a distance of 2 steps, and 7GUQV at a distance of 3 steps. (These participants also closely match a larger number of Irwins, Irvines and Irvings at 37 markers, and are most likely descended from that clan.)
2T7JS Elliott Castlefin,

Donaghmore Parish,

County Donegal,

Ireland

Elliott ca. 1660

The participant can trace his ancestors back to Donaghmore Parish, Donegal, but has had difficulty tracing his line all the way back to Scotland.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14.

At 37 markers, 2T7JS matches KGASE and DNRYW exactly, JBM8M at a distance of 1 step, AS57E and C53C9 at a distance of 2 steps, and 7GUQV at a distance of 3 steps. (These participants also closely match a larger number of Irwins, Irvines and Irvings at 37 markers, and are most likely descended from that clan.)
JBM8M Elliott Louisiana,

United States

Melvin Raymond Elliott,

born 20th century

The participant is an American citizen who claims an Irish (probably Scots-Irish) heritage.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker.

JBM8N is just one step distant from DNRYW at 67 markers, and 4 steps distant from AS57E. This places it squarely among the "Irvine" Elliotts of Southwest Ulster.
7XNPB Elliot Maryland,

United States

John Elliot,

born 1776,

died ca. 1854-55

This John Elliot was born in Maryland, and may be the same John Elliot from whom close match AS57E is descended. Both were not only born in Maryland in 1776, but died in Johnson County, Indiana sometime in the 1850's.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14 - and 1 step on DYS389i, which is 14 rather than the modal 13, offsetting the value of DYS389ii.

Out of 22 marker values in common, 7XNPB is just 1 step distant from AS57E. Additional similarities in their genealogical info strongly suggest that both participants are descended from the same John Elliot (or Elliott).
C53C9 Elliott United States

Daniel Dodd Elliott,

born 19th century

This is the same Daniel Dodd Elliott from whom AS57E is descended. In fact, C53C9 and AS57E's cousin have been in touch, and have confirmed that the participant's grandfather was the uncle of AS57E.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14 - and 1 step on DYS389i, which is 14 rather than the modal 13, offsetting the value of DYS389ii.

Out of 37 markers, C53C9 is an exact match with AS57E and only 2 steps distant from KGASE and 2T7JS. It clearly belongs to the Elliott cluster that has a very strong genetic affinity with the Irving/Irvine clan.

C53C9 and AS57E are an exact match on 67 markers, suggesting - on average - a shared paternal ancestor within 3 generations. This genetic evidence is corroborated by the known relationship between the two participants.
AS57E Elliott Maryland,

United States

John Elliott,

1776 - 1850

John Elliott was born in Maryland, lived for a time in Shelby Cty., Kentucky, and eventually settled in Johnson Cty., Indiana, where he died. His son was Thomas Elliott, and his grandson was Daniel Dodd Elliott, great-grandfather of the participant. Daniel Elliot was born in Indiana, but later settled in Cannon Cty., Tennessee.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14 - and 1 step on DYS389i, which is 14 rather than the modal 13, offsetting the value of DYS389ii.

AS57E is 2 steps distant on 37 markers from Ulster Elliotts KGASE and 2T7JS, and an exact match with C53C9. This participant also matches a suspected Irving/Irvine descendant of Irish origin at only 1 step on 37 markers, and five known Irving/Irvine descendants at 3 steps on 37 markers. All these individuals are probably related.

C53C9 , AS57E and QVFH8 are an exact match on 67 markers, suggesting - on average - a shared paternal ancestor within 3 generations. This genetic evidence is corroborated by the known relationship between the two participants.
QVFH8 Elliott Maryland,

United States

John Elliott

1776 - 1854/1855

This is most likely the same ancestor as John Elliott above, despite the difference in the stated year of death. Although born in Maryland, John Elliot migrated to Johnson County, Indiana, where he died.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14 - and 1 step on DYS389i, which is 14 rather than the modal 13, offsetting the value of DYS389ii.

C53C9 , AS57E and QVFH8 are an exact match on 67 markers, suggesting - on average - a shared paternal ancestor within 3 generations. All three also fall clearly within the cluster of "genetic Irvine" Ulster Elliotts.
SG6QP Elliott British Isles John James Elliott,

born 20th century

The participant lives in western Pennsylvania, which could suggest Scots-Irish ancestry, but no genealogical info is available at this time.

Additional AMH Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Elliott Modal Haplotype (i.e., Western AMH) by 1 step on the DYS385b marker - whose value is 15 rather than the modal 14 - and 1 step on DYS439, which is 13 rather than the modal 12.

SG6QP is 8 steps distant from THSGV on 111 markers, and may belong to an offshoot of the Elliott genetic mainstream. Most near-WAMH Elliotts with a DYS385b marker value of 15 are members of the "Irvine" Elliott group, and SG6QP does not appear to belong to that one.
QUT8C Elliott Scotland (?) Seth Elliott,

born ca. 1600

According to the participant, this branch of the Elliotts is descended from two brothers who came over on the "Mayflower" as indentured servants, but were somehow not listed on the manifest. The participant also claims Scottish roots. These Elliotts were Quakers - which plausibly suggests Scots-Irish roots - and eventually migrated to Oklahoma and Florida.

 This is one step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is almost Western AMH. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Russia and the Czech Republic. Top European matches in the YHRD database fall among Basques, and in the Netherlands, Norway, France and Portugal. There are also many hits among Hispanic samples. These match patterns could easily support either a Celtiberian, Anglo-Flemish or Norse-Gaelic ancestry.

QUT8C's closest match is with VU9UG, a North Carolina Elliott who is 4 steps distant at 25 markers. The shared Southern origins suggest that these lines could be related.
VU9UG Elliott

North Carolina,

United States

Joseph Elliott,

1802 - 1853

Joseph was born in North Carolina, but moved to Indiana, where he married Martha Lincoln in 1832. Upon his death, Martha married Alexander Washington Elliott, who was possibly a cousin of Joseph. Alexander was the son of Jesse, the grandson of Pritlow Elliott, Jr., the great-grandson of Pritlow, Sr., and the great-great-grandson of William Elliott.

 This is one step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is almost Western AMH. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Russia and the Czech Republic. Top European matches in the YHRD database fall among Basques, and in the Netherlands, Norway, France and Portugal. There are also many hits among Hispanic samples. These match patterns could easily support either a Celtiberian, Anglo-Flemish or Norse-Gaelic ancestry.

American Elliott VU9UG and Northern English Elliott P25ZJ are exact matches on 25 markers, and almost certainly belong to the same lineage.

P25ZJ Elliott

Crosspool,

Sheffield,

England

 William Elliott, 1906 - 1948

This was the participant's father. His grandfather also lived in Sheffield.

 This is one step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is almost Western AMH. Most likely Pictish, Brythonic Celtic or Norse-Gaelic in origin - although any Western European background is a possibility. One step away from all WAMH Elliotts and Ellwoods.

American Elliott VU9UG and Northern English Elliott P25ZJ are exact matches on 25 markers, and most likely belong to the same lineage.

QM6NS Elliott Turner,

Maine,

United States

John Warren Elliott,

born ca. 1760-1770

John Elliott married Sarah Coburn in 1790, and later settled in New Portland, Maine, where he built a mill in 1803. The participant cites documents claiming that the settlers of Turner, Maine mostly originated from "the original Plymouth Colony". However, the genetic resemblance between QM6NS and various Elliotts (and Armstrongs) with Ulster roots, plus John Elliott's marriage to a Coburn, strongly suggest that he was of Scots-Irish origin, as were many other settlers in Northern New England.

 This is one step off the Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype is almost Western AMH. Exact matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in a wide range of Western European samples. Top European matches in the YHRD database fall among Basques, and in the Netherlands, Norway, France and Portugal. There are also many hits among Hispanic samples. These match patterns could easily support either a Celtiberian, Anglo-Flemish or Norse-Gaelic ancestry.

At 37 markers, QM6NS is 1 step distant from QH83A, 2 steps distant from WWX8Y and RR73J, and 4 steps distant from MUS25. However, this haplotype bears far more similarity to the typical Amstrong WAMH signature than to the Scottish Elliott genetic mainstream. QM6NS may, in fact, be patrilineally descended from the Armstrongs.
X4H5A Elliott British Isles

Dennis M. Elliott,

born 20th century

No further genealogical info is currently available about this participant.

 Elliott R1b Singleton

This haplotype differs from WAMH in the DYS385 marker values, which are 12,16 rather than the usual 11,14. The only geographically attributable exact match in the FTDNA Haplogroup falls in Scotland, but 1 step near matches fall in a wide range of Western European samples. Top European match frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany - strongly suggesting a possible origin among the Northern Germanic peoples.

X4H5A has no close matches thus far in our Elliott data set.
Q9FST Elliott Mantoulin Island,

Canada

David Elliott,

ca. 1878 - 1950

David Elliott was born in Ontario, but no other genealogical info is currently available.

Unusual R1b Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Scottish Elliott norm in many ways, the most important differences being a DYS391 value of 12 and a DYS392 value of 12. This haplotype is found among German and Hispanic-American samples in YHRD, and its closest European matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. This haplotype is most likely of native British or Anglo-Saxon origin.

Q9FST has no close matches so far with any other Elliotts in our data set.
G547U Elliot Nova Scotia,

Canada

Isaac Elliot,

born 1791 or 1792

Isaac was born in Nova Scotia, but the participant believes he was descended from one of five brothers who left Massachusetts for Halifax in 1763 - and therefore may have been of New England stock. Isaac's presence in Nova Scotia is indicated in an 1814 land petition. Isaac was the father of William and Isaiah.

(There is some suggestion that this lineage originally came from Somersetshire, England and - before that - from Surrey, and that the surname had once been spelled Eliot and/or Ellyot.)

Elliott R1b Haplotype From The Maritime Provinces

This haplotype is two steps distant from WAMH, differing at DYS391, which is 12 rather than 11, and at DYS389i, which is 14 rather than 13, offsetting the DYS389ii value from 29 to 30.

This participant has been tested as L2+ and L20-, which some believe indicates possible Norse ancestry.

This haplotype has many exact matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database, among locales ranging from all across the British Isles, to Spain, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the Ukraine and elsewhere. Its highest frequency matches in YHRD fall among Latin Americans, and in the Netherlands and Switzerland. This haplotype could have come from anywhere in Western Europe, but is most likely of aboriginal British origin.

G547U and NSPTU are just 1 step distant on 33 markers, both have roots in the Maritime Provinces, and both claim an ancestor named Isaac. They are almost certainly related.
NSPTU Elliott Larriston,

The Borders,

Scotland

Isaac Elliott,

ca. 1773 - 1855

Isaac Elliott was born in the town (or village) of Larriston, but later joined his uncle in Newcastle, England. He sailed to Canada in 1788 as a cabin boy on a British warship, and eventually settled there. Isaac's son became a sea captain, and ended his days in Eastern Canada as a centenarian, dying in 1916 at the age of 105. This may be the same Isaac Elliott (or Elliot) mentioned by G547U. If so, both participants may be descended from the notorious Elliots of Larriston.

Elliott R1b Haplotype From The Maritime Provinces

This haplotype is two steps distant from WAMH, differing at DYS391, which is 12 rather than 11, and at DYS389i, which is 14 rather than 13, offsetting the DYS389ii value from 29 to 30. The highest frequency matches in YHRD fall among Latin Americans, and in the Netherlands and Switzerland. This haplotype could have come from anywhere in Western Europe, but is most likely of aboriginal British origin.

G547U and NSPTU are just 1 step distant on 33 markers, both have roots in the Maritime Provinces, and both claim an ancestor named Isaac. They are almost certainly related.

Additional Celtic Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype shares tantalizing similarities with the Donegal haplotypes XQR3K and 2Z62Z - namely DYS385a,b values of 11,15 and a rare DYS391 value of 12. However, PV8VD differs on two of the more stable markers - a DYS393 value of 13 versus 12, and a DYS389i value of 12 versus 13. PV8VD is 2 steps distant from XQR3K and 3 steps distant from 2Z62Z. (Please note that the DYS389i,ii marker values of 12,29 equate to OA values of 9,17, while the 13,30 values for XQR3K and 2Z62Z equate to OA values of 10,17 - only 1 step distant, rather than 2.)

The two closest matches in YHRD fall in Graz, Styria (believed to be an old Celtic part of Austria) and among the Basques. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Northern Ireland and Hungary. We suspect that the haplotype is probably Iberian or Central European Celtic in origin.

2J4KB, PV8VD and 73HA8 are exact 25/25 matches, and are most likely related.

Additional Celtic Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype shares tantalizing similarities with the Donegal haplotypes XQR3K and 2Z62Z - namely DYS385a,b values of 11,15 and a rare DYS391 value of 12. However, 2J4KB differs on two of the more stable markers - a DYS393 value of 13 versus 12, and a DYS389i value of 12 versus 13. (Please note that the DYS389i,ii marker values of 12,29 equate to OA values of 9,17, while the 13,30 values for XQR3K and 2Z62Z equate to OA values of 10,17 - only 1 step distant, rather than 2.)

The two closest matches in YHRD fall in Graz, Styria (an old Celtic part of Austria) and among the Basques. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Northern Ireland and Hungary. We suspect that the haplotype is probably Iberian or Central European Celtic in origin.

2J4KB and PV8VD are exact matches on 37 markers, and both are exact matches with 73HA8 on 25 markers. PV8VD and SVC6H are only 2 steps distant on 37 markers. Considering that 2J4KB and PV8VD claim ancestry from the same townland in Fermanagh, they are obviously related. 2J4KB, PV8VD and SVC6H are also just 2 steps distant from Donegal Elliott G8HXP. Curiously, Donegal Elliott 2Z62Z is 6 steps distant on 37 markers from these four - and from XQR3K. Although 6 steps is considered just outside the range of "Possible Relatedness", the fact that all six Elliotts have rare haplotypes and roots in Southwest Ulster suggests that 2Z62Z is distantly related to the other five nonetheless, and represents a link among them.

* Please note that 2J4KB has a duplicate entry in Ysearch under ID 69PQD.

James Elliott, born 1852

James is the participant's great-grandfather. James was the youngest child of Edward Elliott, born between 1790 and 1820, a labourer residing the townland of Ferney, near Ballinamallard. James emigrated to Brockville, Ontario circa 1875.

(The participant has related to us that PV8VD and RJ4KB are descended from two Elliott sisters from Ferney, Catherine (b. 1808) and Anne Jane (b. 1816), respectively. Both sisters married Elliott men, Edward (b. 1815) and James John (b. 1812). The participant theorizes that Edward and James may have been brothers, which would explain the 37/37 match between the paternal lines of both participants.)

Elliott With SNP-Tested L21 R1b Haplotype

This haplotype shares tantalizing similarities with the Donegal haplotypes XQR3K and 2Z62Z - namely DYS385a,b values of 11,15 and a rare DYS391 value of 12. However, PV8VD differs on two of the more stable markers - a DYS393 value of 13 versus 12, and a DYS389i value of 12 versus 13. (Please note that the DYS389i,ii marker values of 12,29 equate to OA values of 9,17, while the 13,30 values for XQR3K and 2Z62Z equate to OA values of 10,17 - only 1 step distant, rather than 2.)

The two closest matches in YHRD fall in Graz, Styria (an old Celtic part of Austria) and among the Basques. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Northern Ireland and Hungary. We suspect that the haplotype is probably Iberian or Central European Celtic in origin.

2J4KB and PV8VD are exact matches on 37 markers, and both are exact matches with 73HA8 on 25 markers. PV8VD and SVC6H are only 2 steps distant on 37 markers. Considering that 2J4KB and PV8VD claim ancestry from the same townland in Fermanagh, they are obviously related. 2J4KB, PV8VD and SVC6H are also just 2 steps distant from Donegal Elliott G8HXP. Curiously, Donegal Elliott 2Z62Z is 6 steps distant on 37 markers from these four - and from XQR3K. YVQU6 is even closer to both PV8VD and XQR3K, at a distance of 5 steps. Although 5 steps is considered just at the edge of "Possible Relatedness", the fact that all these Elliotts have rare haplotypes and roots in southwest Ulster suggests that they are related nonetheless. The fact that both XQR3K and PV8VD have both been SNP-tested as L21+ supports the argument that both fall at the far ends of a spectrum of distantly related southwest Ulster Elliotts.

Samuel Elliott,

1751 - 1831

Samuel Elliott was born in Ulster, but emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1771. He served in the Revolutionary War, rising to the rank of captain. He later moved with his wife Mary Campbell to Allegheny County in western Maryland, where the couple had twelve children. In 1800, he moved with his wife and his sons, Cornelius and Samuel, to Licking County, Ohio, where he was one of the original settlers and where he died at the age of eighty. His son Cornelius, born in 1778, married Elizabeth Evans, and they also had twelve children. Cornelius died in 1865.

Additional Celtic Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype differs from WAMH on four separate markers, and - like its close matches among the Elliott data set which have already been tested - most likely belongs to the subclade L21.

The two closest matches in YHRD fall in Graz, Styria (an old Celtic part of Austria) and among the Basques. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Northern Ireland, Germany and elsewhere in the UK. We suspect that the haplotype is probably native British Celtic or Gaelic in origin.

ZDVGJ is clearly related to the main Donegal-Fermanagh Elliott cluster. At 37 markers, this participant is just 1 step distant from SVC6H, 2J4KB, G8HXP and PV8VD.

Hugh Elliott,

ca. 1740 - 1815

Hugh Elliott was born in Donegal, but emigrated from Londonderry to America with his wife and three children in 1803. They arrived in Baltimore, and traveled to Washington Cty., Pennsylvania, where his sister Mary Elliott Lee had settled after emigrating in 1791. Hugh bought 155 acres of land in 1806, and died in either 1815 or 1816.

Additional Celtic Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype shares tantalizing similarities with the Donegal haplotypes XQR3K and 2Z62Z - namely DYS385a,b values of 11,15 and a rare DYS391 value of 12. However, G8HXP differs on two of the more stable markers - a DYS393 value of 13 versus 12, and a DYS389i value of 12 versus 13. (Please note that the DYS389i,ii marker values of 12,29 equate to OA values of 9,17, while the 13,30 values for XQR3K and 2Z62Z equate to OA values of 10,17 - only 1 step distant, rather than 2.)

The two closest matches in YHRD fall in Graz, Styria (an old Celtic part of Austria) and among the Basques. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Northern Ireland and Hungary. We suspect that the haplotype is probably Iberian or Central European Celtic in origin.

G8HXP is 2 steps distant on 37 markers from Fermanagh Elliotts 2J4KB and PV8VD, and another Ulster Elliott, SVC6H. He is also 1 step distant from 73HA8 on 25 markers. He is also 6 steps distant on 37 markers from another Donegal Elliott, 2Z62Z, and might be related to that one as well. G8HXP is part of a distinctive Elliott cluster found only in Western Ulster.

Randolph Elliott was apparently born in Georgia, but no other information is available at this time.

 Unusual R1b Haplotype - 4 Steps Off WAMH

This haplotype differs considerably from the modal Elliott signature. It is unusual enough to score numerous matches in YHRD that are most likely the result of convergence with haplogroup "O" in such areas as Mongolia, Taiwan, Iran and Georgia. The other matches are predictably Western European, falling in Switzerland, Spain and Germany. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall predominantly in the British Isles, with a single 2 step match each in Mexico and Romania. This is probably of Celtic or aboriginal British origin.

CAKP7 and TWDHS match each other exactly on 12 markers, and each apparently shares the same ancestor. Although this lineage does not appear to be related to the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts, these two participants are clearly related to one another.

 Randolph Elliott,

1799 - 1832

Randolph Elliott was a farmer in Georgia, and family lore indicates a Scottish or Scots-Irish origin.

 Unusual R1b Haplotype - 4 Steps Off WAMH

This haplotype differs considerably from the modal Elliott signature. It is unusual enough to score numerous matches in YHRD that are most likely the result of convergence with haplogroup "O" in such areas as Mongolia, Taiwan, Iran and Georgia. The other matches are predictably Western European, falling in Switzerland, Spain and Germany. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall predominantly in the British Isles, with a single 1 step match in Norway. This haplotype is most likely of native British origin, although a Viking origin is also a possibility.

CAKP7 and TWDHS match each other exactly on 12 markers, and both apparently share the same ancestor. Although this lineage does not appear to be related to the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts, these two participants are clearly related to one another.
S2BPR Elliott

United States

 Joseph M. Elliott,

born 1910

According to the participant's son, Joseph's mother was an Elliott, but his father was not. Catherine Elliott (later Catherine Elliott Slocum) was herself apparently illegitimate. She was born circa 1889 and died in 1949. She had three other sons - Charles, born 1908, John Raymond, born 1911, and Tom, born 1913. Catherine's brothers, Charles and "Puggie", were reputedly thieves circa 1910, and "Puggie" served time in Sing-Sing. Although Irish Catholic, these Elliotts truly inherited the spirit of the Border Reivers.

 Another Rare R1b Haplotype - 5 Steps Off WAMH

This haplotype differs from WAMH through a DYS19 value of 15, a DYS439 value of 13, and a rare DYS385b value of 11. Closest FTDNA match is in Scotland, followed by a handful of matches in Ireland and Sicily. Top YHRD matches fall in Portugal. This signature is most likely of Iberian origin.

S2BPR's closest match in Ysearch is with a McKenna with roots in Fermanagh. As expected, there are no close matches with other Elliotts.

 William Elliott,

died 1782

William married Catherine Burt in 1740, and fathered a son, also called William, in 1741. The younger William Elliott lived in Abbotskerswell all his life, dying there in 1820. His grandson Joseph Elliott emigrated from Bristol to Melbourne, Australia in 1857.

Elliott With Possible Viking or Norman R1b

This haplotype is an unusual variation from WAMH with a DYS19 value of 15, and a DYS385b value of 13. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall in Norway, followed by Northern Italy, Spain and France. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database occur throughout the British Isles, as well as in Norway, Sweden, France and Spain. The DYS385b value of 13 is probably responsible for the high match frequencies in Scandinavia. Nonetheless, taken at face value, this haplotype could easily have had a Norse Viking or Norman origin, which is consistent with the reputed ancestry of the Eliots of Southwest England.

There are no close matches so far in our Elliott data set.

HXCE5 Elliott

 John Elliott,

born 1805

John was born in either Pennsylvania or eastern Ohio, but was recorded as living in Richmond, Ohio in 1840. He had at least three sons - George, born 1835, Ephriam, born 1838 and died 1888, and Thomas, born 1848. The participant is descended from Ephriam through his son Robert, who was born in 1868 and died in 1942. The family remained in eastern Ohio.

2 Steps Off The Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from Western AMH at DYS19, which is 15 - and at DYS439, which is 11 instead of 12. Top match frequencies in YHRD fall in Portugal, Italy, Sicily, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Spain. Both match patterns suggest an essentially Iberian origin for this haplotype, although it may have spread from Iberia across the Mediterranean, and later to Germany, the Netherlands and Eastern Europe, with the Sephardic Jewish diaspora.

As far as our Elliott entry is concerned, the origin of this haplotype is squarely Iberian-Celtic, as befits WAMH.

HXCE5 and C4R7Y are an exact match on 25 markers.

C4R7Y Elliott

District of Columbia,

United States

 Matthew Elliott,

1799 - 1881

Matthew's father was Thomas Elliott, who was born of Scots-Irish descent in Virginia or Maryland between 1750 and 1780. Matthew migrated to Loudon County, Virginia, then later to Belmont County, Ohio. Matthew's son, William Henry Harrison Elliott, was born in Morgan County, Ohio in 1835.

2 Steps Off The Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from Western AMH at DYS19, which is 15 - and at DYS439, which is 11 instead of 12. Top match frequencies in YHRD fall in Portugal, Italy, Sicily, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Spain. This haplotype was most likely prehistoric Iberian in origin, but might also have come to Britain from the Mediterranean.

As far as our Elliott entry is concerned, the origin of this haplotype is squarely Iberian-Celtic, as befits WAMH.

HXCE5 and C4R7Y are an exact match on 25 markers. Considering that both lineages were in Ohio as of the middle of the 19th century, they are almost certainly related.
A6J2Q Elliott East Coker,

Somersetshire,

England

Andrew Elliott,

1627 - 1703

Andrew Elliott was born in East Coker, Somerset (or Somersetshire) in 1627. He emigrated to Massachusetts in 1668, served as a juror during the Salem witch trials, and died in Salem in 1703. This may be the same ancestral lineage as that of T. S. Eliot, who also claimed descent from Andrew Elliott of East Coker.  However, it does not appear to be same lineage as that of Daniel Elliot of Salem, as the majority of participants claiming that ancestor have an entirely different DNA signature.

1 Step Off The Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from Western AMH only at DYS19, which is 15 rather than the usual 14. Close matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database are widespread across Western Europe. Top match frequencies in YHRD fall in Portugal, Italy, Sicily, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Spain. This haplotype is most likely native British in origin, but potentially could be from any part of Western Europe.

A6J2Q matches fellow English Elliott exactly on 12 markers.

Thomas Elliot,

died 1730

Thomas Elliot was born in either Buckinghamshire or Northamptonshire. He married Elizabeth Garlick in Hanslope in 1724, and fathered Thomas, Jr. in 1730 - then died soon after. This branch of Elliotts may be descended from Borderers who migrated south after the Act of Union in 1707.

1 Step Off The Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from Western AMH only at DYS19, which is 15 rather than the usual 14. Close matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database are widespread across Western Europe. Top match frequencies in YHRD fall in Portugal, Italy, Sicily, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Spain. This haplotype is most likely native British in origin, but potentially could be from any part of Western Europe.

At 37 markers, 3BUWN is not a close match with any of the other Elliotts in our data set. - but does match A6J2Q on 12 out of 12 markers.
2FF36 Elliott British Isles

(probably Ulster)

 William Elliott,

1785 - 1865

This entry is not an official participant, so additional genealogical data is not available at this time.

Elliott With "Ui Niall" DNA Signature

The DYS390 value is missing on this one, but we can safely assume it is 25. The highest match frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Ireland, England and among European Americans in such places as Texas and Missouri. There are several other matches in parts of Iberia, and one in Zeeland. Since samples from the British Isles are underrepresented in the YHRD database, these high frequencies suggest that this haplotype has resided predominantly in the British Isles for a long time. It most likely arrived with the prehistoric Iberians who became the Picts and Brythonic Celts of Britain, and the Cruithne of Northern Ireland.

Since this entry was tested by Ancestry, a precise comparison cannot yet be made against our FTDNA participants. Nonetheless, the closest match appears to be NZQP7, which shares 29 marker values out of 30. This individual appears to belong to a minority Elliott lineage sharing the "Ui Niall" haplotype.

WTJDF Elliott

Canada & Ireland

Henry Blondin Elliott,

1843 - 1931

Henry Elliott was born in Canada, and emigrated to Ohio in the 1860's. He sired John (1875 - 1931), Lafayette (1876 - 1910), Charles (1882 - 1963), Mertie (1877 - 1954), Goldia and Euphima. John and Lafayette settled in Michigan, and Charles, the participant's grandfather, settled in Defiance, Ohio. The participant is quite sure the family is of Scots-Irish origin.

Celtic Or Norse-Gaelic Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype is a 10/12 match with the 12 Marker Elliott Modal Haplotype, and a 19/25 match with one of the two candidates for the 25 Marker Elliott Modal Haplotype. The participant is probably not related to the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts. The basic 12 marker haplotype - with its DYS390 value of 25 and its distinctive DYS385b value of 13 - is 1 step away from the "Irish Sea Haplotype". Elliott Participant UDTR5 exhibits this haplotype, as do members of many Cumbrian, Galwegian, Manx, Hebridean and Gaelic Irish families.

Closest match in the FTDNA Haplogroup database falls in Ireland, with 1 step mutations falling throughout the British Isles, and in Iceland, Norway, France and Iberia. The highest frequency European matches in YHRD fall in Western Norway, among ethnic Hungarians in Romania, and in Belgium, but several matches also fall among samples of Iberian origin. This haplotype could easily be of either Celtic or Norse-Gaelic origin.

A recent SNP test has confirmed that WTJDF is R1b1c only - not R1b1c7. This indicates that WTJDF is not patrilineally related to individuals with a true "Ui Niall" DNA signature. The closest match is with DP2MS at a distance of 5 steps on 37 markers. Since both participants claim roots in both Canada and Michigan, they are most likely related.

Edward Elliott,

1819 - 1895

Although born in Canada, Edward was married in New Haven, Ohio in 1844. He then moved to Lansing, Michigan, where he was listed in the 1850 and 1860 census records. He was in Meridian, Michigan by 1880, and ultimately died in Pine Lake, Michigan.

Celtic Or Norse-Gaelic Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype is a 10/12 match with the 12 Marker Elliott Modal Haplotype, and a 19/25 match with one of the two candidates for the 25 Marker Elliott Modal Haplotype. The participant is probably not related to the genetic mainstream of the Scottish Elliotts.

Exact matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall mostly in Ireland, with two in England, and one in Germany. The highest frequency European matches in YHRD fall in Western Norway, among ethnic Hungarians in Romania, and in Belgium, but several matches also fall among samples of Iberian origin. This haplotype could easily be of either Celtic, Germanic or Norse-Gaelic origin.

The closest match is with WTJDF at a distance of 5 steps on 37 markers. Since both participants claim roots in both Canada and Michigan, they are most likely related.

 Elliott (first name unknown), b. circa 1794

This is the participant's great-great-grandfather, who emigrated to America before 1820.

Elliott With "Ui Niall" DNA Signature

This is four steps removed from the Elliott Modal Haplotype, but is also R1b. And it is, if anything, even more indicative of an origin native to the British Isles. The highest match frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Ireland, England and among European Americans in such places as Texas and Missouri. There are several other matches in parts of Iberia, and one in Zeeland. Since samples from the British Isles are underrepresented in the YHRD database, these high frequencies suggest that this haplotype has resided predominantly in the British Isles for a long time. It most likely arrived with the prehistoric Iberians who became the Picts and Brythonic Celts of Britain, and the Cruithne of Northern Ireland.

(It is interesting to note that this haplotype is found among several different families from The Borders, Dumfries & Galloway, and Cumbria, including Glenn, Jackson, Maxwell, Kennedy, Dunn, Wilson, Reade, Hetherington and Salkeld. It does not appear to be predominantly associated with any of these families, and may represent the case of a very old DNA signature local to the British Isles that predates the development of surnames. Further research in Ysearch has yielded 12/12 matches with many Irish Gaelic surnames, and Western Scottish surnames with suspected Norse-Scottish or Norse-Gaelic origins - e.g., McDowall, Logan, MacAulay, McLaughlin, MacDonald, Queen, or "MacQueen", and McGlothlin from the Isle of Man. This haplotype can also be found in the Icelandic data set of the Helgason paper, and occasionally occurs even in Norway. Although most likely native Celtic in origin, it may have been spread by Norse-Gaelic expansion across the Irish Sea and beyond. It is worth noting that Kennedy, Hetherington, Salkeld - and to some extent Elliott and Wilson - are thought by many to have Norse-Gaelic roots.)

UDTR2 is 4 steps distant from NZQP7 on 25 markers, but that is not quite close enough to suggest a relationship.

* Please note that UDTR5 has a duplicate entry in Ysearch under ID VHNF6.

It is unknown where or when Reuben Elliott was born, but his son William was born in Frederick County, Virginia in 1811 and died in 1860. Reuben had another son, James Madison Elliott. His son was Charles Ogden Elliott, Charles' son was Forrest Elliott, and Forrest's son was Donald Elliott. Reuben also left a daughter, Lucinda, who inherited a house in Stephen City, Virginia.

These Elliotts claim Scottish ancestry, but have not formally established their roots. They are most likely of Scots-Irish origin.

Elliott With "Ui Niall" DNA Signature

This is four steps removed from the Elliott Modal Haplotype, but is also R1b. The highest match frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Ireland, England and among European Americans in such places as Texas and Missouri. There are several other matches in parts of Iberia, and one in Zeeland. Since samples from the British Isles are underrepresented in the YHRD database, these high frequencies suggest that this haplotype has resided predominantly in the British Isles for a long time. The exact matches and 1 step mutations in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall overwhelmingly in Ireland and Scotland, with several in England, and a few in Iceland and Germany. These results corroborate our thesis of a native "Celtic" origin.

E2M3Q is not a close match at 37 markers with any of our other Elliotts, but is 3 steps distant from NZQP7 at 30 markers.

John Elliott was a brother (although apparently only a half-brother) of Joseph Elliott, born 1910. Both men shared the same mother, Catherine Elliott of Brooklyn. S2BPR and 57VY5 are first cousins.

Elliott With "Ui Niall" DNA Signature

This is a typical Northwest Irish signature, and most likely indicates Gaelic Irish ancestry.

57VY5 is not a close match with S2BPR, even though the two participants are supposed to be cousins.

WWX8Y Elliot

 William Elliot,

1834 - 1910

William was born in New York state, and later migrated to Kingston, Wisconsin. The family surname was eventually changed to "Elliott" by a land agent in North Dakota. Although William's father and his mother, whose maiden name was McLarn, were recorded on his death certificate as having been born in Ireland, there is a family tradition of a Welsh origin. (The Ysearch entry YBN58 is a duplicate posted by the same participant, so please ignore it.)

 1 Step Off The Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from WAMH by a DYS390 value of 25. Exact matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall largely in the British Isles, but also in Belgium, Spain and Germany. Highest match frequencies in the YHRD database fall in Northern Italy, Ireland, among European-and Latin-Americans, and in Spain and the Netherlands. This haplotype could easily have come to Britain with Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Celts or prehistoric hunter-gatherers, but it is clearly Western European in origin.

At 37 markers, WWX8Y is 3 steps distant from RR73J and 4 steps distant from MUS25. All of these Elliotts are genetically far closer to the Armstrong clan than to any of the other Elliott clusters, but are most likely related to one another. This cluster has a Northern Irish origin.
PXJDS Elliott Ulster Robert G. Elliott,

born 20th century

This participant joined first through the Donegal Bay & Fermanagh Project, and declares Ireland as his ancestral homeland. Hence, we are assuming he has Ulster origins. No other information is available about the participant at this time.

2 Steps Off The Elliott Modal Haplotype

This haplotype differs from WAMH by a DYS390 value of 25 and a DYS385b value of 15. Exact matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Wales, England, Scotland, France and Iceland. Matches in the YHRD database fall in the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Ireland and Germany. This haplotype could easily have come to Britain with Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Celts or prehistoric hunter-gatherers, but it is clearly Western European in origin.

We need to wait until PXJDS has upgraded to 25 or 37 markers to speculate fruitfully about his possible connection to our other Elliott participants.

 Possible Anglo-Saxon Elliott Haplotype

This haplotype is not a close match with any other Elliott, Eliot or Ellwood participant. DKJGT comes closest, with a 10/12 match. (The apparent DYS389i,ii 14,30 vs. 13,29 two step difference translates to 11,16 vs 10,16 - Oxford Ancestors style - only one step away.) FYQWR and DKJGT, both Ulster Elliotts with a possible Pennsylvania connection, share with this participant an unusual DYS393 marker value of 14. The closest match in the FTDNA Haplogroup database falls in Denmark, and there are several slightly more distant matches in England and Germany. YHRD matches fall in Saxony and Sweden, as well as among European Americans in the Southern U.S. A Danish or Anglo-Saxon ancestry is entirely possible.
3PZXW Elliott

Beaufort County,

 William (Jessie) Elliott, died 1813

Jessie Elliott emigrated from the UK via Wales to Bath, North Carolina in the late 1700's. He died on Christmas Eve 1813 while training a horse for a race, an event which became a local legend. His descendants have lived in North Carolina for seven generations, moving from Beaufort County to Durham, Fuquay-Varina, and finally to Raleigh.

Unusual R1b Haplotype With A DYS393 Value of 14

This is two steps away from the Elliott Modal Haplotype, but one mutation falls on the slow-changing DYS393 marker, which is 14 rather than 13. Top YHRD matches fall in Greece, Austria, Spain, Friesland, England, the Rhineland and among Latin Americans. The closest hits in the FTDNA database include England, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal - but also Iceland, Norway, Shetland, the Ukraine, Poland, and Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews. Barring possible convergence with other haplogroups, such as N, this haplotype could easily be Iberian, Celtic, Nornan or Anglo-Flemish.

(3PZXW matches NYZE9 exactly at 25 markers, FYQWR, 75PWU and 4RV4H on 24 out of 25 markers, SEYDN on 23 markers, and DKJGT and FB7UZ on 11 out of 12 markers.)

Barring possible convergence with other haplogroups, such as N, this haplotype could easily be Iberian, Celtic, Nornan or Anglo-Flemish.

At 25 markers, NYZE9 is an exact match with 3PZXW, and just 1 step distant from 4RV4H, 75PWU and FYQWR. It is also an 11/12 match with DKJGT and FB7UZ. All of these may be related, but one claims Welsh roots, two claim a Southwest English origin, one believes his ancestry is Scots-Irish, and two claim Scottish descent. It is uncertain yet exactly where this lineage originated.

Top YHRD matches fall in Greece, Austria, Spain, Friesland, England, the Rhineland and among Latin Americans. This haplotype is most likely Celtic or Germanic in origin.

At 25 markers, BV3TE is an exact match for FYQWR, 75PWU and 4RV4H, and 1 step distant from 3PZXW, SEYDN, 97SGU and NYZE9. This is clearly another addition to the "Daniel Elliott" cluster.
4RV4H Elliott

Salem,

Massachusetts,

United States

 Daniel Elliot,

born ca. 1665

This is the most likely the same Daniel Elliot claimed by SEYDN, and our current belief is that this Daniel Elliot was not, in fact, related to Andrew Elliot of East Coker, Somerset. SEYDN contends that Daniel Elliot was of Scottish or Scots-Irish origin - partly because he was able to find records of Daniel Elliots in both Scotland (i.e., Daniel Elliot of Baggott) and Fermanagh. However, articles provided by 4RV4H on the genealogy of the New England Eliots, although strongly suggesting no link between Andrew Elliot of East Coker and Daniel Elliot of Salem, do show that at least one Daniel Elliot was related to Elliots who emigrated to New England. This was Daniel Elliot, born circa 1587 in Essex County, England, son of Philip Elliot. The article (from "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register", vol. 162, January 2008) does not indicate whether or not that Daniel Elliot emigrated to New England. Nonetheless, it proves that both the Scottish and the Essex Elliot families had a precedent of naming sons "Daniel". The mystery remains.
