    Notes 
    • Unable to locate in the ancestry or familysearch.org census indexes for 1870 or 1880 in Rappahannock County, Virginia. Perhaps he died in the Civil War? Or moved away from Rappahannock County? There are a few James Elliott's of a similar age in both Virginia and West Virginia, but nothing to positively tie them into the family of Joseph and Ellen Elliott.

      James H. Elliott Sr emailed, in April 2013, that "James Oliver Elliott along with his brother William were wounded at the battle of Gettysburg. James later died of his wounds . I have been trying to locate burial site/ haven't had much success. Still looking. He is listed killed in action."
