Research Notes

1. Mother: Sarah Lyons. Source: Marriage record. ^[2]
   
2. POB: Gilmer County, Virginia. Remember that the state of West Virginia was created in 1861, so some of the source references that use West Virginia may actually be Virginia if dated before 1861. Gilmer County Virginia was one of the counties that split to WVA and became Gilmer County, West Virginia. Calhoun County is west of Gilmer County, and it appears that Elliot spent his life in these two locales. ^[2]
   
3. Birth year: ~1847. Source: Marriage record. ^[2]
