    A William Elliot of Rappahanock Co, VA filed for a Civil War pension in 1900.

    James H. Elliott Sr emailed, in April 2013, that "James Oliver Elliott along with his brother William were wounded at the battle of Gettysburg. James later died of his wounds . I have been trying to locate burial site/ haven't had much success. Still looking. He is listed killed in action."

    Notes:

    In extracts of the 1850 and 1860 census prepared by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census that was dated September 19, 1914 the family is listed as follows. This extracts were prepared in connection with a Civil War pension application filed by Augustus Elliott:

    Rappahannock County, VA, enumerated 12 Oct 1850
    Joseph Elliott,45,M
    Ellen,48,F
    Darius (David M.), 25,M
    Frederick,24,M
    Lydia A,23,F
    Susan,18,F
    Eliza,15,F
    Augusta,12,F (sic)
    William,10,M
    James,8,M

    P.O. Washington, Rappahannock County, VA
    enumerated 24 July 1860
    Frederick Ellett, 27
    Joseph, 57
    Ellen,53
    Lydia A, 25
    Susan A,24
    Eliza,22
    Melvina,20
    William H,19
    James O,17 Tennessee
    Vena, 21(black)
    Sarah 11/12 (mulatto)

    The Department of Commerce indicated that "it may be that the person named "Augusta" and recorded as a female, returned with the family of Joseph and Ellen Elliott, is the soldier whose age you desire, and that the assistant marshal made a mistake in stating the sex. Very respectfully, Wm. J. Harris, Director."

    The ages on the extract in 1860 should be approximately ten years higher than those given in 1850. Most of them only vary a few years however. The actual census records should be examined to see if any of these discrepencies can be resolved. The more likely answer is that whomever answered the census takers questions just guessing at the ages of the members in the household.

    It appears that Frederick had assumed the role of the head of the household in 1860, with his parents and siblings living with him. Perhaps his parents had become incompetent or infirm. Darius (David) and Augustus had left home, and there appeared to be three new family members, 20 year old Melvina (perhaps the wife of Frederick or William??), 21 year old Tennesse Vena and her 11 month old daughter Sarah. On Brenda Elliott's web page, Melvina is listed as a daughter. I am assuming she is not since she was not also listed on the 1850 census, and she would have been to young to have been already married in 1850. Additionally, Brenda lists a daughter named Ann, but does not show Lydia A. Could the daughter have been named Lydia Ann?

    As of the 1870 Census, Joseph and Ellen were still living with son Frederick, however their other children were no longer in the home. In 1880, only Ellen was still a member of Frederick's household, so it appears that Joseph died sometime between 1870 and 1880.

    Joseph was said to have died near Fredericksburg, Maryland.

    These census records were retrieved based on a letter that Augustus personally wrote, dated May 11, 1914, to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions. They wanted to prove his age by locating him on the census records with his family. Augustus stated that: "During the year of 1850 and 1860 I lived at Washington City from then to Alexandria then at Little Washington, Rappahanic Co. I did not live with my parents after I was large enough to work for myself. I lived where I worked. I went from these to Fostoria, Ohio where I made my home with my brother David Elliott. My father's name was Joseph Elliott at Little Washington, Rap. Co, VA. Mothers name was Ellen Kenny Elliott. I have answered as best I can remember. Hoping this will be satisfactory I remain Augustus E. Elliott." In a follow up letter, dated June 17, 1914, Augustus elaborated: "From there I lived in Washington, Rapahanoc, Virginia with my father Joseph Elliott. Then I went to Fostoria, Ohio in 1860 where I lived with my brother David Elliott until I went to the war in 1862. In the letter you stated that I did not live with James Monroe. I worked for him and as I had no home I had to live where I worked. You said that I did not live with James T. Monroe in 1860. I went to Fostoria in 1860 but I did not live with him in Alexandria in that year but I was there some time between 1850 and 1860 but the year and date it is impossible for me to remember. Yours, A.E. Elliott."



    (Research):Brenda Elliott shows him as the son of Samuel Elliott. Maria Elliott also shows this parentage, based on the book BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF WOOD COUNTY, OHIO, COMMERATIVE VOLUME II, 18797, pp 739-740. Maria received this information from Family Group Sheets compiled by Catherine Gerhart of Westerville, Ohio in January 1797.

    This family group sheet furhtermore shows that Samuel Elliott was the father of George, Samuel Jr., Joseph, Susan, Winnie and Lydia.

    Joseph married Elender Kenny on 30 Jan 1823 in Fauquier County, Virginia. Elender was born in 1802 in Virginia; died after 1880; was buried in Rappahannock County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Elender Kenny was born in 1802 in Virginia; died after 1880; was buried in Rappahannock County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    On Brenda Eliott's webpage, (http://www/uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/BrendaElliott/ELLIOTT), Joseph's wife is shown as Eleanor McKenny(Kenny). It is noted that she was born in 1802. On the Rootsweb WorldConnect Project: Latest family tree update prepared by Yvonne Ramsell Simonson (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=:393199&id=i4027), it is shown and Eleanor McKenney was born in the USA to Irish parents.

    The only other family with the surname Kenny listed on the 1850 Rappahannock County, VA census was 48 year old Sylvanus Kenny, who was married to a 37 year old woman named Ann. This apparently was a second marriage, as his oldest child was 27 year old George W Kenny. There are 10 other children listed in his family. (Family 170). Living two homes away is 26 year old George W. Kenny with his 26 year old wife Susan. Was George W. listed in both households? Or were there two George W. Kenny's approximately the same age? Could Sylvanus have been Ellen's brother, perhaps even her twin as their ages are shown as the same? I noted that Sylvanus himself had twin sons, 16 year old John and Robert.

    Becky Asif found the following database online: It shows Andrew Kenney having 2 daughters Eliza(1802) and Elender(1807). http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2829461&id=I239&ti=5535

    She also found a marriage record of Sylvanus and Ann KENNY, as follows: SALVANUS KENNY ANN HEFLIN 12 January 1825 Fauquier

    Other KENNY's that were married in Fauquier:

    DANIEL BERRYMAN RUTHA KENNY 24 November 1821 Fauquier
    EDWARD KENNY PATTY ROUTT 09 May 1791 Fauquier
    JAMES BERRYMAN SUSANNA KENNY 13 March 1812 Fauquier
    LANDON BERRYMAN MARY JANE KENNY 10 December 1832 Fauquier

    Becky Asif also found the following, posted by George V. Hilburn to the Kenny Family Genealogy Forum. She speculates Eloiza and Ellender might be the same person.

    Kenny-Stadler Connection

    The following is meant to show the connection between the three KENNY children (Eloiza, Sylvanus, & Richard) and Jacob STADLER. In the first part, monies were to be collected from the sale of slaves with the proceeds to be divided between the complainants and the defendants. The second is the actual appraisal to the court of the slaves. The third is the carrying out of the dispersal of some of the monies to the defendants (the minor children). In the third part is the phrase "grandfather's estate" instead of the name "Jacob STADLER."

    It is believed that Jacob STADLER is not a blood grandfather, but one by marriage. A HORTON was probably the actual grandfather, but was dead by this time. Here is the reason why.
    In the will of William KERNES, one of his daughters is referred to Elizabeth STADLER, wife of Jacob STADLER. There is also a reference in the KERNES will to his grandson, Benjamin HORTON. As the mother of the KENNY children was a HORTON (marriage lisence), and STADLER is referred to as a grandfather, it is safe to assume that Elizabeth KERNES STADLER was previously married to a HORTON. An unconfirmed source has this HORTON as Benjamin HORTON, born 1750 in Stafford Co, VA.
