PRB NOTE:

 

This is the same 105 A on McDowell Cr which John Knox sold to William Elliott in 1816.  William S. Elliott subsequently sold it to Ephraim Jetton in 1820. This transaction puts this land back in the hands of John Knox...

 

Speculate that Dr. William S. Elliott was William Smith Elliott --- who had sisters named Hannah and Jenny K...seems possible that William's mother was Martha Smith...perhaps the sister of David, Rebecca, and Mary who m. Capt Patrick Knox...
