General Notes: Husband - Robert Elliott

---

He was born prior to 1730, but whether in the north of Ireland or in America is not known; his ancestors were Irish. Soon after 1730, he lived in that part of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which became Peters township, Cumberland County, and later a part of Franklin County. He was twice married.
He died in Peters township, Cumberland County, leaving a will, dated March 2, 1768, which states that he was in ill health, and which is recorded at the Register's Office at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the date of probate being omitted. Of this will his brother James was one of the executors. In this will, he devises to his two sons, Benjamin and George, the two tracts of land which he owned, the one on which he lived, and the other which he had purchased from Hugh Shannon. He bequeathed to his wife Martha, during her life, or till her death or marriage, his negro woman; and at her death or marriage, to his three daughters.
