To the readers I give some instructions in tlie perusal of this book.

You will notice the figures following the names of the family record.

The first figure stands for the generation, the second the number in the

family. For instance: see the name of our Great Grandfather—Benjamin Elliott, 1-1; his oldest child, 2-1; second, 2-2 and so on, bythat you will find the generation each belongs to. You will also

notice the figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 in black type at the left of each para-

graph indicates the generation down to the 4th that the paragraphstarts with, except in a few cases.

It was not thought best to insert much information in regard to

the wealth or occupation of the different members of the family, or

anything that would tend to a discrimination between them, sociallyor morally.

I may here offer my thanks to the many who have assisted me byfurnishing the records of their own and other families.

The information respecting some branches of the family wasobtained near two years ago, and consequently changes may havetaken place of which no account is given.

It is pleasing to review the lives of those from whom we derive ourimmediate descent and who have done honor to their family name bytheir talents and their virtues. It has been truly said, "The study of

a family record elevates and enobles the nature of man, and lifts it upto a truer and nobler type. To know nothing' of our ancestry, or fromwhence we came; to have no reverence for the precious memories of the

past or an interest in those who are to succeed us. in the battle of life,

is for us to ignore the elements and influences that have made us whatwe are, to repudiate the natural instincts and affections of the humanheart and to suppress the aspirations and hojies of a soul on its courseon through endless cycles of eternity.

A study of the jjioneer life of our forefathers could not fail to beboth interesting and instructive to us, who have, as it were, placedourselves out of the sight of the immediate past, merged ourselves so

deeply in the concerns of the present, as to regard the scenes throughwhich our ancestors passed as almost a myth.

Let us, however, try to forget the present for a brief period, and

transport ourselves in imagination to the rude log cabin of our Grand-

fathers, when they reaped their grain with the reap hook (or handsickle as we called it when I was a boy )

and compare those days with

fL7n

the self binder of today. How interesting those early scenes would

look now in this age of progress to see the women and girls with their

reap hooks reaping the golden grain. Our ancestors in those dayshad to endure many privations of the necessaries of life. The most

rigid simplicity was observed in furniture, food and dress, as the

women and girls had to spin and weave and make their clothing for

fathers, mothers and children. It is greatly to be regretted that

incidents and experiences of the pioneer life of our ancestors have not

been preserved, as it would certainly not only be interesting, but prof-

itable to us all, as decendants of the pioneer forefafhers herein men-

tioned, to be acquainted with particulars of their lives; but when we

contemplate the trials and dangers through which they passed in their

struggles for existence in a new country, and the difficulties which met

them on every hand, we need not wonder that so little time was devoted

to writing and so little attention paid to the preservation of family

records. Had the work of compiling this family record been attended

to years ago, when the older members of the family were still living,

much valuable and interesting information relating to our ancestors,

could have been obtained which is now lost, but such as has been

written is herewith presented, with the hope that, while it may be a

disappointment to expectations, yet it may serve the purpose intended

and be appreciated by those who may read the following pages. For

those who have roamed the same hills and traversed the same valleys

in childhood, it will certainly be a pleasant pastime to review the lives

of their former associates, add thus recall with fond delight, the longlost scenes of the past, and the old homestead around which cluster

many pleasant memories. JESSE C. VANSYOG.

At Union Meeting house, three miles east of Zanesfield, .^ogan

County, Ohio, October 1st, 1875; in answer to an invitation extended

to the Elliot family, about 130 of the descendants of Benjamin El-

liot and their companions met near the time appointed, and after a

friendly and cheeriul introduction, many of them being strangers to

each other, they partook of a bountiful dinner provided for the oo-

casion.The company being called to order, Simon D. Elliot was ap-

pointed chairman, and Asa Elliot and Enoch Wickersham, Secretaries.

The object of the meeting being stated by the chairman, to-wit: Areunion of the family and its connections, renewing and strengtheningthe bond of love and friendship that has heretofore existed, and the

encouragement to cherish and cultivate that love in their families

as they become scattered and separated, that will qualify them to

take their places in the church and the world, assisting by their

counsel and influence to withstand the torrent of sin and iniquity that

prevails in our country.John D. Elliot then read the following paper, sketching from

memory the following short history of the Elliot family which wasdirected to be printed and copied with the proceedings of this meet-

ing and then sent to each family where their residence is known."In attempting to write some account of the family, I have neither

resource for information but memory and therefore shall be veryliable to make many mistakes. Much of what I know of our ancestorswas learned while a boy in listening to the conversations of mygrandparents, and others of the family. If I remember my Grand-father's Grandfather's name it was John Elliott. (The name wasspelled "Eliot" until my Grandfather's time and he still contendedthat was the right way.) Of this first ancestor all I know is thathe came from England in company with many others about the timethe company came over with Wm. Penn, some of his relatives beingin New England of whom John Elliot the great Indian Missionarywas one. Our branch of the family settling in Pennsylvania, nearPhiladelphia. Of this family all I know of is three sons named Ben-jamin, Jacob, and Abraham. The two latter moved to South Carolina,

leaving- Benjamin in York, or Chester County, Pennsylvania.Soon after the Revolutionary War he moved with his wife and

some of his children to what is now Washington County, Pennsylvan-ia.

1—The children of our Great Grandfather, Benjamin Elliot, 1-1

were: John, 2-1, Isaac, 2-2; Absalom, 2-3; and Lydia, 2-4; all of whichI remember well, and one, named Mary, 2-5, who married SamuelPaden.

2—John Elliot, 2-1, the eldest of the sons of Benjamin marriedProvidence Parson in Pennsylvania and moved to Columbiana coun-

t)

ty, Ohio, about the year 1814. Had two sons, Joseph, 3-1 and John3-2.

3—Joseph, 3-1 married Elizabeth, and John, 3-2, married MarthaRandal, two sisters, both of them lived on the land bought by their

father in great harmony until, the death of their father who madehis home with John, about four miles south of Salem, Ohio. Joseph,iSPl |h ad four sons and two daughters—John, 4-1; James, 4-2; Moses,4-3; Enoch, 4-4; Rebecca, 4-5; and Lydia, 4-6. John is deceased.His three brothers still live in the same neighborhood. Twoi of them,JMoses and Enoch on the same homestead. But afterwards they mov-ed to Clark County, Iowa, seven miles south of Osceola, wherethey died. Rebecca married a man by the name of Charles Darrh,tut in a few years was left a widow. She is now In Iowa.

4—Lydia, 4r6, married John Coffee who died in a few years andshe still resides near Salem, Ohio.

3—John, 3-2, brother of Joseph, sold his land in Columbianacounty, about the year 1750 and removed to Logan county, Ohio. Hischildren were: John, 4-1; Joseph, 4-4; Isaac, 4-2; Mary, 4-3; andMiram, 4-5. Mary married Andrew Pettit, and is now living nearGrand Junction, Iowa. John married Almira Hathaway. He is nowdeceased. Had three children, Elmer, 5-1; Vinton, 5-2; and Flora, 5-3;who live with their mother on the farm bought or Jerub Baldwin.Soon after, they moved to Logan county, Ohio. Joseph, 4-4, marriedEllen Kinsey. Their children, Josephine, 5-1; Martha, 5-2; Thaddeus,5-3; and Lawrence, 5-4; and lives about three miles northeast ofWest Mansfield, Logan County, Ohio.

4—Isaac 4-2, married, but died soon after. His widow lives in ornear Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsj^lvania. Miram, 4-5, never mar-ried. She lives with her sister-in-law on the farm formerly ownedby her father, who deceased a few years ago, leaving her an interestin it, her lifetime.

2—Absalom, 2-3, youngest son of Benjamin, married in Pennsyl-vania,was a Baptist minister. He removed about the year 1810 to Clarkwas a Baptist minister. He removed about the year 1810 to ClarkCounty, Indiana. We know but little about his family. His son,James, 3-1, went as a soldier under General Harrison, was in the bat-tle of Tippecanoe, where the General had his headquarters. He set-tled after marriage in that neighborhood near his wife's father. Shestill retained many of the characteristics of backwoods life. WhenI saw her in 1837, near Rochester, Fulton County, Indiana, she toldme that when their first child was about six months old, while sittingin their log cabin, their large dog lying on the floor and the childasleep in a trough, for a cradle, she heard the dog growl and lookingout saw a large panther outside the fence that enclosed the door-yard. She arose and fastened the door. Told the dog to watch thebaby and she crept out of back window, ran to her fathers, one-halfmile off, got a gun and shot the panther.

3—The last I heard of James, 3-1, he was in Stark County, Indiana.His oldest sons name was Absalom, 4-1. He had two daughters mar-ried when I was there. John, 5-3; Absalom's 4-1 son I think never

married, was rather a roving unsettled man.

Absalom. 5-4, son of Absalom, 4-1, the last account that I have

had of him he still lived in Southern Indiana but of his family we can

give no account. I might mention here that in traveling in both

Carolina and Indiana we have found many of our name, and of other

names wlio claim to be descendants of Jacob and Abram Elliot of

Carolina.2—We will commence with Isaac, 2-2, Elliot, our grandfather, son

of Benjamin, 1-1. He was born the day of 1756, in York County,

Pennsylvania. He marrried Alice Wilkinson, daughter of JosephWilkinson of London Grove, Pennsylvania. Their children were

Benjamin, 3-1; Joseph, 3-2; Isaac, 3-3; Elizabeth, 3-4; Alice, 3-5; Mary,

3-6; Moses, 3-7; and Francis, 3-8. Benjamin, 3-1, married Susannah

Supler in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and removed with his

family to Stark County, Ohio, about the year 1811 or 1812. He there

built a grist-mill and saw-mill on a beautiful stream called "DeerCreek". This was a great advantage to the people who most of themwere newly settled on their lands.

3—Benjamin's. 3-1, children were: Benjamin, 4-1; Isaac K., 4-2;

Wilkinson, 4-3; Edith, 4-4; Susannah, 4-5; Rachel, 4-6; Ann, 4-7;

Jonathan, 4-8; Agnes, 4-9; and Absalom, 4-10. Benjamin, 4-1, marriedSarah Gruell, daughter of Timothy and Alice Gruell. His children

are William, 5-1; Margaret, 5-2; Mahew, 5-3; Timothy, 5-4; Cyrus,5-5;and Alwilda, 5-6. Isaac K., 4-2, married Ann Bowman, for his first

wife, daughter of Isaac Bowman. By her had four children named,Bowman, 5-1; Clarrissa, 5-2; Jane, 5-3; and Watson, 5-4. His sec-

ond wife was Mary Norton, daughter of Jeremiah Norton. They hadsome family but I do not know their names. He is deceased andhis first children most of them are in Oregon. Susannah, 4-5; mar-ried James Rochell, who is deceased leaving two sons and one daugh-ter, Benjamin, 5-1; Lynus,5-2; and Harriet, 5-3. She married the

second time a man by the name of John Rosel, who lived but a few

years. They had one daughter, Susannah, 5-4. She married a man bythe name of Sherick. Rachel Elliot, 4-6, married Abraham Vanscoyoc,who lived but a few years. She is now married to Isaac Cope andliving at Marlborough, Stark county, Ohio. Her sister, Ann, 4-7, is

not married and lives at the same place. Wilkinson 4-3, married SarahTaylor; their children are Abner, 5-1; Angeline, 5-2; Judith, 5-3; Mary,5-4; Rachel, 5-5; Benjamin, 5-6; Ottimer, 5-7; and India, 5-8. Hemarried a second wife by the name of Unis Scott, (she was a spiritual-

ist.) They went to Hayti by the directions of the spirits and shedied there. He came back to America and brought all his children ex-

cept Angeline, 5-2, who was married and died in Hayti. He mar-ried the third wife by the name of Nancy McCrerory. Edith, Absalomand Jonathan are deceased. Jonathan and Absalom have left

children but their names are not known to me. Johnathan's old-

were newly settled on their lands. ( See also pag-e 17. )

I may mention a circumstance before leaving the family of Ben-

jamin Elliot, that there is a silver headed cane in the family of

Benjamin Elliot, son of Benjamin, that belonged to Benjamin Elliot

8 _^_with the initials of his name and date on it, date not remembered,but sometime in 1780. I have seen it, which was to descend to the

next oldest, Benjamin Elliot in perpetuity. Now I am done with the

family of Benjamin, 3-1. I shall have to be more brief in treating of

others for I find time will not admit of a detailed account.

After reading the aforesaid essay by John D. Elliot, Jerub Bald-win, the oldest member of the family (now nearly fourscore) gavean account of his connection with the family by marriage, 58 yearsago, and which has continued with uninterrupted friendship to this

11

time. Interesting and instructive remarks were made by Benjamin

Elliot, 4-1, and his son William Elliot, 5-1, of Michigan. Also by

Mary Elliot, Jonah Baldwin, Joseph Elliot, Thomas McCall, Simon D.

Elliot, 5-1, Ellis Akey and several others, all tending to encourage-

ment in the practical duties of every day christian life, and to keep

clear of any intoxicating drinks and the use of tobacco, as having a

tendency to lead into great extremes of crime and destitution. The

following resolution by S. D. Elliot, 5-1, was unaminously adopted.

"Resolved, that the Elliot family be Invited to attend at this

place on the 5th day of November, A. D., 1876 in a reunion and each

family is requested to forward to John D. Elliot, 4-1, Zanesfield, LoganCounty, Ohio, such account of their families and their history for himto prepare it for reading at the next meeting."

uary 17, 1908, dead.In my attempt in adding to the aforesaid history of the Elliot

and Vansyoc family record, which was compiled by John D. Elliot in

the year 1875 down to that date, quite a portion of what I learned of

the Geneology of the Elliot and Vansyoc families was when a youngman in conversation wita my father's oldest brother, Abraham Va:i-

syoc, who was born in the year 1785, and I being personally acquaint-ed with quite a number of the different families contained in th'i

above history of the descendants down to the present time. Still mahave made some mistakes, as I found it a greater task than I first

anticipated it would be in my 74th and 75th years of age; not havingany experience in this line of business .

In commemoi'ation of our beloved relative, John D. Elliot, whowas a minister of the society of Friends for many years, we are

thankful for the information he g"ave us in comiDiling- the Geneolog-y ofthe first part of this history of the Elliot and Vansyoc descendantssince settling in America.

"

He is now numbered with the sleepingSaints waiting till the voice of the Archangel comes with the trumpof God, and the dead in Christ is raised immortal, 1st Thess, 4th

Chapter . We hope every one named in this book may have the happyprivilege of meeting in the Golden City of the New Jerusalem.

Yours in hope,JESSE C. VANSYOC,

NOXEIS.Aaron S. Watkins, 5-9; is nominated for Vice President of the

United States on thie Prohibition ticket of the year 1908. He is son of

Rebecca Elliot, 4-6; daughter of Joseph, 3-2 and Elizabeth, (John)

Elliot, her husband, William Watkins.

In conversation with an old g-entleman in Marion county, Iowa, bythe name of Jeremiah Elliot, (now deceased) a number of years a,go,

he told me he visited James Elliot, 4-5, (son of Isaac 3-3) in Logancounty, Ohio, and in tracing- the Geneolog-y of their ancestors back to

Benjamin, Jacob and Abraham on the first page of this book, theyfound they were of the same family. All I know of Jeremiah's rela-

tives was a brother of his I was acquainted with, named Oscar, who died

several years ago, and two sons of Jeremiah, named John B. Elliot,

President of the National Bank of Knoxville, Marion county, Iowa,and Jeremiah, John's brother, who died several years ago.
