Called Darius? on the 1850 census. Based on his date of birth and the fact that he is not present on the 1860 Viriginia census, I assumed he was the David Elliot who lived in Seneca County, Ohio in 1860 (Seneca Co, Loudon Township, page 85). Per Augustus's pension application, this is his brother.

Per the 1860 census, the family is listed as follows:
David M. Elliot, 35, M, Farmer, R/E 1000, PP 300, Virginia, Can't read or write
Mary E. , 27, F, Virginia
Marshal H, 5, M, Ohio
Mary A, 3, F, Ohio William G, 8 mos, Ohio

Per the 1870 census Ohio, Wood County, Bloom Twp
Elliotte, David age 41Farmer $2500 $700 Virginia
Elliotte, Mary E. age 36 Keeping House Virginia
Elliotte, Mary A age 18 Attending School Ohio
Elliotte, Marshall age 18 At home Ohio
Elliotte, Gideon age 10 Attending school Ohio
Elliotte, Mary E. age 6 Attending School Ohio <---probably actually Sarah E. as per 1880 census
Elliotte, David T. age 5 Attending School Ohio

Unlike his brother Augustus, he did NOT indicate that his parents were foreign born

Brenda Kessler Elliott, who is researching this line, confirmed that his name was David and not Darius.

There IS a Darius J. Elliot listed in 1860 Ohio census, in Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ward 4, pg 218. However, he is shown as 21 years old (making his year of birth approximately 1839) and as born in Ohio. It is unlikely this is the same Darius Elliot.

David married Mary Emily Updike on 17 Apr 1856 in Seneca County, Ohio. Mary (daughter of Amos Updike and Sarah ???) was born on 18 Jan 1833 in Virginia; died on 15 Nov 1899 in Bloom Township, Wood County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Wesley married Sarah Catherine Davenport. Sarah was born before 1850; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
