Notes:

John Elliott and his wife were early settlers and business owners in White Couty, as detailed in an article titled "Founding of Phillips Township" (Carmi Times Sesquicentennial Edition 9 Dec 1965, p 1), excerpted below: "Phillips Township is situated on the great Wabash River, containing 64 square miles. It was formerly comprised in Fox River precinct. Parts of it lay in Carmi, Burnt Prairie and Gray precincts. At this time it was mostly timberland, the surface hilly, with parts near the rivers low and swampy. The first settlers were James Kahn and Richard Davis, George Hoover, James Hodge, Absalom Driggers, Stephen Stanley, Thomas Poole and Daniel Boultinghouse. In 1809, John Lucas settled about a mile south of what is now Phillipstown. James Davenport stopped there at about the same time. John Fraser came from North Carolina in 1818...Alexander Phillips was another man well known in this part of White County...Others, John Stum, Richard Graves, Walter Higden, JOHN ELLIOTT, Josiah McKnight, Samuel Hughes, James Johnston, James Evans, the Starks, Hans, Randolphs, Charles, Potters, Davises, Whitneds, Crosses, Grahams, and the Creightons. Deer was plentiful as were wild turkeys...Phillipstown was platted in 1837...Crossville was laid out by John Mills, county surveyor for Thomas Cross and SILAS ELLIOTT. In 1883 there was a flouring mill...one tile factory owned by Williams and Rudolph; two general stores run by Blockford and ELLIOTT; one drug store owned by Davenport...a furniture store...one hotel, MRS. ELLIOTT, proprietor; a blacksmith shop...a meat market...

Another article in the same paper contained a biography of William O. Smith, the first doctor in the new village of Crossville (destined to become the metropolis of Phillips Township). It noted that "he established his first office in a corner of the Elliott store, which at that time, was the only store in Crossville. He slept in his office and boarded in the nearby Elliott hotel...(after his marriage he and his wife) moved to their new home on Crossville's Main Street, raising a family of four children, became firm friends of the Cross, Elliott and Kuykendall families and many others....
