I believe John W Elliott was born in South Carolina or maybe even in North Carolina because of the Lumkin Co, 1860 Census: http://www.rootsweb.com/~galumpki/census/1860LumpkinCensusIn... (John Ellet listed birth place as SC)

http://www.rootsweb.com/~gahall/marr/Hall_Marriages_Selected... You will find that on Oct 26, 1823 a John W ELIT married a Sarah Seaggs. (Seaggs probably mispelled Skaggs.)

ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/elbert/vitals/marriag... You will find in the Elbert County, GA, marriages 1812-1814 that John Elliott married Elizabeth Agee on Oct. 30, 1814

Please keep me posted on any info you have or find regarding John W Elliott who is my gggg grandfather. Thanks and enjoy the online research!
