Biography

Charles was the child of Amos Elliott's first wife (possibly Margaret Merrill).

Notes

Year of birth estimated from 1830 Census^[1] and birth order as listed in Amos Elliott's will. Amos's will^[2] states that Charles died before recording of the will.

"Heritage of Tippah County, Mississippi^[3]" reports that his name was Charles Henderson Elliott and that he was born in Greensboro, Hale, Alabama. It reports he was a county judge in Oktibbeha County in 1833. Apparently, Rootsweb has info about death date; by 1840, according to the US Census, his wife Elizabeth was the head of the household. I am using his middle initial rather than the full name Henderson because I cannot find other evidence of the Henderson name.
