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 para- graph 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 ap- pointed 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 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 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 mov- ed 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.

However there are significant inequalities in the health and quality of Londoners’ lives. 2009-11 ONS figures show that average healthy life expectancy reduces by almost one year for every stop eastwards on the District Line between the boroughs of Richmond and Tower Hamlets – a difference of 18 years. The reasons for this are complex but the evidence points strongly to the important impact of the wider determinants of health. This inequality means some Londoners are unable to benefit from and contribute to the city’s dynamism because of preventable health problems. The Mayor wants to ensure all Londoners have the chance to participate in what London has to offer.

  • Right Reverend Stephen Elliott: Political Influence and The
    THE RIGHT REVEREND STEPHEN ELLIOTT: POLITICAL INFLUENCE AND THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH 1841-1866 by PAULETTE THOMPSON (Under the Direction of Anastatia Sims) ABSTRACT By the 1840s, the South’s religious and political convictions upheld slaveholders’ social and economic views. These convictions permeated worship services in Georgia via the ministries. At the onset of the Civil War, spirituality provided an essential source of Southern strength in both victory and defeat. As fortitude subsided, religion also played a prodigious role in perpetuating the Confederate experience. For a generation, its theology had endorsed the South’s social arrangement, asserted the morality of slavery, expunged Southern sins, and recruited the populace as God’s devout guardians of the institution. Sustained by the belief that they were God’s chosen people, Southerners rallied to the Confederate cause. Asserting great influence as the presiding Episcopal Bishop of the Confederacy, the Right Reverend Steven Elliott, Jr., aggressively participated in contriving a religious culture that discerned threats to Southern society as challenges to Christian civilization.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
