Surname: ELLIOTT, HARRISON, REILLY, ELLISON, LEONARD, OAKLEY
-------------------------
Looking for information on the Elliott Family of Evansville, Indiana. Two
brothers, Dr. William Morton Elliott and Joseph Peter Elliott, moved from
Lexington, Kentucky to Evansville in the late 1830's. William was a medical
doctor and a minister. Joseph was a saddle-maker, merchant, and a representative
for Heilman Plow Works. Joseph wrote "A History of Evansville and Vanderburgh
County, Indiana" in 1897. Their Father, Peter, moved to Evansville around
1849.
William Morton Elliott married Hannah Ellison. Their surviving children
were:
William W., 1833
Mary Elizabeth, 1836
Thomas M., 1838
James P., 1840
Hannah E., 1845
John G., 1851
Joseph Peter Elliott married Mary Louisa Wheeler. Their surviving children
were:
Mary Louisa (married James Allen Oakley)
John Wheeler
John Douglas
Edward Peter (married Annie Leonard)
Are there any Elliotts of this line still in Evansville? Is anyone else
an Elliott researcher?
