BY DURASET COMPOSING COMPANY LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA DEDICATED TO ARTHUR LEE WITH LOVE AND APPRECIATION THE COMRADE WHO TRAVELED SO FAR WITH ME Now I send this book forth with warm personal greetings to all the Elliott Clan, to all who are related by marriage, and to those who have been interested in Captain George Elliott and his descendants. The story of Capt. George Elliott, the Scotchman from Ireland, has never before been gathered together in book form. He lived in strategic times in both Colonial Virginia and in Kentucky. So I am happy to present this volume, my generation's tribute to him and his descendants who have spread across our beloved land. The basic idea of civilization has rested on "family". It warms the heart to feel one belongs somewhere, that he is of account. Consequently he strives to give a good account of himself, and so we go forth in our time. This book was born in my early years. Reared in Johnson Co., Mo., amid many kinspeople who had come west from Kentucky, the conversa¬ tion often revealed a fascinating saga. It not only touched the generations in Ky. but reached back into Virginia and Revolutionary days. Much of it seemed so well worth recording and I set myself to the task. To me it seemed "knowledge that dies with us is forever lost." Maturity brought a historical appreciation and a desire to verify fami¬ ly legend with recorded facts. Accumulated material aroused much family interest. My marriage to a minister, with his pastoral service in some of the larger cities, gave me access to excellent historical libraries. Re¬ search was a pleasant avocation. Years passed but my volume continued to take definite form. In various trips through Kentucky and Virginia I was able to check court records personally. Opportunity opened up a number of unpublished man¬ uscripts and in Canada the Parliament Library at Ottawa provided much British material. Family records were sought out in the old family Bibles and from tombstones. Census records filled in many missing gaps. The many bran¬ ches of the Elliott family were most cordial and responsive in supplying their immediate data. So it has been a pleasant inspiration and task to assemble the facts on an American family nowin this country 200 years, and having residence east-west, north-south, still sturdy and constructive in so many fields.

There seemed to be no available records to trace them, though both the Montgomerys and the Proctors were families of influence. This volume will contain many errors, I am sure. There are many omissions of family data-this is not due to intention but to lack of contact. Even so the correspondence has been a huge task in addition to the historical research. As you read of Capt. George Elliott of the Virginia Navy with all the allied families, may your days be enriched. As Compiler I feel I know you intimately. God's blessings upon you.

  • The Role of Jews in the British Colonies of the Western Mediterranean
    The role of Jews in theBritish colonies of the Western Mediterranean* T. M. BENADY The British Isles and Morocco, both situated on the western edge of the old Mediterranean world, have been linked by trade since early times. Moroccans have not traditionally been ocean sailors, as their long Atlantic coastline faced miles of endless watery waste and held no attractions prior to the discovery of America. But Englishmen have been keen Atlantic sailors, and Morocco became the firstnon-European countrywith which some British people had direct contact. Itwas enshrined in popular imagination as an exotic and very rich country, as the - legend of Dick Whittington bears out although the story represents the percep? tions of the 16th rather than the 14th century, when the historical Whittington was thrice Lord Mayor of London. A country of high mountains, deserts and fertile plains, cut off from close contacts with the north by the Spanish Reconquista, and from the east by the long rivalrywith the Ottoman Empire, Morocco became a conservative and inward looking country from the lateMiddle Ages onwards. The isolation was intensified by the tenacious hold on the popular culture of Sufi mysticism which became an important political force.1 Since 1510 Morocco has been ruled by two dynasties, both of them founded by country sheikhs from the south with conservative attitudes. Until the English and Dutch entered on the scene in the 16th and 17th centur? ies, foreign trade was conducted largely by the Genoese. It is hardly surprising that in this very conservative and psychologically isolated country much of the organization of the internal tradewas in the hands of the ancient but cosmopolitan Jewish community.2 The Jewish community of Morocco was heavily depleted in the Almohade persecutions of the 12th century, but was afterwards considerably reinforced by successive waves of immigrants from Spain.

  • The Jews of Gibraltar Before the Treaty of Utrecht and the Developement of the Jewish Community Since Was Morocco
    THE JEWS OF GIBRALTAR BEFORE THE TREATY OF UTRECHT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY SINCE Tito BENADY1 I. THE FIRST JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA SINCE 1497. II. THE TREATY OF UTRECHT AND EXPULSION. III. RESETTLEMENT 1718 – 1721. IV. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY 1721 – 1779. V. THE FRENCH WARS AND THE 19TH CENTURY. VI. THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES ABSTRACT: The British occupation of Gibraltar in 1704 brought in Jewish merchants from Tetuan to supply the fresh food required by the garrison. Although expelled under the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht, bad relations with Spain led to them being readmitted to bring in much-needed supplies from Morocco. They formed a large minority in the new civilian population established in Gibraltar in the 18th century and were very influential in the development of Gibraltarian society. Today the Jewish community of Gibraltar has chosen not to participate fully in Gibraltarian society in order to protect the purity of its religious practises. KEY WORDS: Gibraltar, Jews, Morocco, Treaty of Utrecht, Sephardi, mixed marriages, civil society, synagogues. RESUMEN: La ocupación de Gibraltar por los ingleses en 1704 trajo comerciantes judíos marroquíes de Tetuán a Gibraltar para suministrar los alimentos frescos que la plaza necesitaba. En el siglo XVIII formaban una minoría importante de la población civil e influenciaron el desarrollo de la nueva sociedad civil gibraltareña. Hoy, la comunidad judía de Gibraltar ha optado no participar en pleno en la sociedad gibraltareña para proteger la integridad de sus prácticas religiosas. PALABRAS CLAVE: Gibraltar, judíos, Marruecos, Tratado de Utrecht, Sefardí, casamientos mixtos, sociedad civil, esnoga (denominación en haketía, el ladino de los judíos marroquíes, de sinagoga).
