General Notes: Husband - William Elliott

---

He was a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or its vicinity. He took up the civil engineer's profession and fitted himself for frontier work. About 1791 he came into Mercer County and surveyed the country for miles around, and took a hand in building up the country and developing its resources. He was one of the very first men to settle in Mercer County, and it was through his efforts that many pioneers attracted by his accounts of its excellent features, resolved to make that their home, and so became valued citizens. He became a very prosperous man of that time, and although he died when only thirty-eight years old, he owned at one time 1,000 acres of land. He did not follow his trade continuously, but settled down on a farm and followed the steady, well-tempered life of a tiller of the soil. The homestead was later owned by his grandson, William D. He was liberal and not at all exacting in his religious belief, and was a Whig politically.
