I am trying to locate the ancestors of James William T. (possibly Toliver) ELLIOTT (b. 1836 Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky; d. 1914 Anderson County, Kentucky). Depending on the document, he used the name James, William, or simply J. W. T. His death certificate says his father was named William ELLIOTT and that his mother's name was unknown. However, I am unable to locate a William ELLIOTT among the ELLIOTTs living in Lexington in 1836.
James William T. ELLIOTT is known to have lived with a William and Margaret BYRNS in 1850 and worked for a Robert BURNS in the early 1860s. Robert and John BURNS were also witnesses at his wedding in 1857.
Mr. and Mrs. Byrns are buried at the Lexington Cemetery, but I know nothing of them or why my ancestor might have been living with them. I have checked deeds, apprentice bonds, marriage records, wills, newspapers, city directories, military records, census records, and tax lists for Fayette County. I am making this post on the off chance that someone on the list might see a connection with their line.
