Narrative:

William Henry Elliott was born on 13 May 1805 in Brunswick Co., VirginiaG.4,5,6
     William moved to Vicksburg, MississippiG, and lived there for several years.12
     William married Frances Elizabeth Hill, daughter of Richard Hill and Anne Dunn, on 19 Aug 1830 in Shelby Co., TennesseeG, with John Raltson, justice of the peace, officiating.7,8,9 It appears his Frances joined him in Mississippi after their marriage as their eldest son was born there.13
     William and Frances and their son Thomas moved to Montgomery Co., TennesseeG, before 1840. William appeared on the 1840 Federal Census of Montgomery Co., TennesseeG, with a household consisting of one male under age 5, (son William), one age 5 to 10 (Thomas), and one age 30 to 40 (himself), and one female 20 to 30 (wife Frances), and seven male and eight female slaves.14
     William and Frances appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Montgomery Co., TennesseeG, enumerated 22 Nov 1850, reporting real estate valued at $18,000.

Their children William, Joseph, Harriet, Mary, Mildred, and Elisabeth were listed as living with them, Also listed was T. M. Elliott, age 15, born in Mississippi, with personal estate of $800. Though he was listed as though he was one of their children, it seems more likely he was a relative.17,18
     William sold 350½ acres on little west fork Red River near the Tuck farm in Christian Co.G, to his son Thomas in Sep 1861, for $5 "and the affection he has for his son."19
