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, by that 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 paragraph indicates the generation down to the 4th that the paragraph starts 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, socially or morally. I may here offer my thanks to the many who have assisted me by furnishing the records of their own and other families. The information respecting some branches of the family was obtained near two years ago, and consequently changes may have taken place of which no account is given. It is pleasing to review the lives of those from whom we derive our immediate descent and who have done honor to their family name by their 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 up to a truer and nobler type. To know nothing' of our ancestry, or from whence 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 what we are, to repudiate the natural instincts and affections of the human heart and to suppress the aspirations and hojies of a soul on its course on through endless cycles of eternity. A study of the jjioneer life of our forefathers could not fail to be both interesting and instructive to us, who have, as it were, placed ourselves out of the sight of the immediate past, merged ourselves so deeply in the concerns of the present, as to regard the scenes through which 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 hand sickle as we called it when I was a and those boy ) compare 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 days had 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 long lost 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 appointed chairman, and Asa Elliot and Enoch Wickersham, Secretaries. The object of the meeting being stated by the chairman, to-wit: A reunion of the family and its connections, renewing and strengthening the 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 was directed to be printed and copied with the proceedings of this meeting 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 very liable to make many mistakes. Much of what I know of our ancestors was learned while a boy in listening to the conversations of my grandparents, and others of the family. If I remember my Grand- father's Grandfather's name it was John Elliott. (The name was spelled "Eliot" until my Grandfather's time and he still contended that was the right way.) Of this first ancestor all I know is that he came from England in company with many others about the time the company came over with Wm. Penn, some of his relatives being in New England of whom John Elliot the great Indian Missionary was one. Our branch of the family settling in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. 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 which I remember well, and one, named Mary, 2-5, who married Samuel Paden. 2—John Elliot, 2-1, the eldest of the sons of Benjamin married Providence Parson in Pennsylvania and moved to Columbiana coun- t)

ty, Ohio, about the year 1814. Had two sons, Joseph, 3-1 and John 3-2. 3—Joseph, 3-1 married Elizabeth, and John, 3-2, married Martha Randal, two sisters, both of them lived on the land bought by their father in great harmony until, the death of their father who made his 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 moved to Clark County, Iowa, seven miles south of Osceola, where they 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 and she still resides near Salem, Ohio. 3—John, 3-2, brother of Joseph, sold his land in Columbiana county, about the year 1750 and removed to Logan county, Ohio. His children were: John, 4-1; Joseph, 4-4; Isaac, 4-2; Mary, 4-3; and Miram, 4-5. Mary married Andrew Pettit, and is now living near Grand Junction, Iowa. John married Almira Hathaway. He is now deceased. 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, married Ellen Kinsey. Their children, Josephine, 5-1; Martha, 5-2; Thaddeus, 5-3; and Lawrence, 5-4; and lives about three miles northeast of West Mansfield, Logan County, Ohio. 4—Isaac 4-2, married, but died soon after. His widow lives in or near Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsj^lvania. Miram, 4-5, never married. She lives with her sister-in-law on the farm formerly owned by her father, who deceased a few years ago, leaving her an interest in 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 Clark was a Baptist minister. He removed about the year 1810 to Clark County, Indiana. We know but little about his family. His son, James, 3-1, went as a soldier under General Harrison, was in the battle of Tippecanoe, where the General had his headquarters. He settled after marriage in that neighborhood near his wife's father. She still retained many of the characteristics of backwoods life. When I saw her in 1837, near Rochester, Fulton County, Indiana, she told me that when their first child was about six months old, while sitting in their log cabin, their large dog lying on the floor and the child asleep in a trough, for a cradle, she heard the dog growl and looking out saw a large panther outside the fence that enclosed the door- yard. She arose and fastened the door. Told the dog to watch the baby and she crept out of back window, ran to her fathers, one-half mile 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 married when I was there. John, 5-3; Absalom's 4-1 son I think never married, was rather a roving unsettled man. I have Absalom. 5-4, son of Absalom, 4-1, the last account that 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 Joseph Wilkinson 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 "Deer Creek". This was a great advantage to the people who most of them were 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.

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 second wife was Mary Norton, daughter of Jeremiah Norton. They had some family but I do not know their names. He is deceased and his first children most of them are in Oregon. Susannah, 4-5; married James Rochell, who is deceased leaving two sons and one daughter, 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 by the name of Sherick. Rachel Elliot, 4-6, married Abraham Vanscoyoc, who lived but a few years. She is now married to Isaac Cope and living at Marlborough, Stark county, Ohio. Her sister, Ann, 4-7, is not married and lives at the same place. Wilkinson 4-3, married Sarah Taylor; 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. He married 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 she died there. He came back to America and brought all his children except Angeline, 5-2, who was married and died in Hayti. He married the third wife by the name of Nancy McCrerory. Edith, Absalom and Jonathan are deceased. Jonathan and Absalom have left children but their names are not known to me. Johnathan's old- also 17. were newly settled on their lands. ( See pag-e ) 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.

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 young man in conversation wita my father's oldest brother, Abraham Va:i- syoc, who was born in the year 1785, and I being personally acquainted with quite a number of the different families contained in th'i above history of the descendants down to the present time. Still ma have 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 having any experience in this line of business . In commemoi'ation of our beloved relative, John D. Elliot, who was 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 of the first of this of the Elliot and descendants part history" Vansyoc since settling in America. He is now numbered with the sleeping Saints waiting till the voice of the Archangel comes with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ is raised immortal, 1st Thess, 4th

Chapter . We hope every one named in this book may have the happy privilege of meeting in the Golden City of the New Jerusalem. Yours in hope, JESSE C. VANSYOC, 329 Marion St., Boone, Iowa. April 1st, 1908.

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, by the 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 Logan county, Ohio, and in tracing- the Geneolog-y of their ancestors back to Benjamin, Jacob and Abraham on the first page of this book, they found they were of the same family. All I know of Jeremiah's relatives 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.
