"DIED—In Morgan county, on the 24th ult. [ult=month previous], Mr. GEORGE ELLIOTT, in the 54th year of his age, leaving an extensive connexion to lament his exit. In all the relations in which man stands towards his brother man, Mr. Elliott was conspicuous. His feelings as a father and a husband were those of pure affection, and his principles as a member of the community in which he lived, were those of an honest and upright man."

Extracted by GGGG Grandson Jim Latimer from: Georgia Journal, February 24, 1824, page 3, Presented online by the Digital Library of Georgia.

Comment [JWL]: Birthdate of 1769 derived from this obituary. He could possibly have been born in first few weeks of 1770 before Jan 24 and still be 54 at time of death. Many other Elliott genealogical sources including DAR say George Jr. was born c.1750, however that date conflicts with the detail that his parents did not marry until 1756/7 and George was their SIXTH child (see George Elliott Sr's page), so the 1769 fits with those details.

George was born about 1769. He passed away about 1824.

Research Notes

As the marriage of George Elliott, Sr. and Mary Henry took place in New Castle county, Delaware on 4 July 1757, the birth of son George Elliott, Jr. must be after that date, so the 1750 date cannot be correct.
