     Frances and William and their son Thomas moved to Montgomery Co., Tennessee, before 1840. She was probably the female age 20 to 30 listed in the household of her husband, William Henry Elliott, in the 1840 Federal Census of Montgomery Co., Tennessee.17

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.
