I am a novice at this type of reply, but----. I have no direct knowledge of
Elliot but there was a John Eggleston who married Elizabeth Elliot in 1763 in Edmondbyers. At this time there was a large Eggleston family in Stanhope, which is not far over the moors. John and Elizabeth had four other children christened in Edmondbyers. Elliot Eggleston and Ann Walton had a child in Edmondbyers in 1792, with subsequent children
christened in Stanhope in 1803 and 1806. What is your Eggleston
connection?
