    Description

    Here’s a collectible antique letter from Merchant John Elliott to Edmund Pirot in 1791
    As-Is condition
    John Elliott is an Immigrant, pioneer farmer, miller, landowner, merchant,
    Columbia Township trustee, Hamilton County commissioner
    p-elliotJohn Elliott was born in Northern Ireland to Scottish parents in 1762. At age 22, he came to America aboard the ship “Lazy Mary.” Family tradition says that he was sent by his father to see what America was like. He supposedly had instructions that if at the end of a year he thought they should move the family there, he was to write them with instructions” to do some impossible thing.” The Elliotts were rather wealthy people, and they had a large house in Ireland. John wrote that he was unable to build himself a house and requested his parents to send theirs to him. When they read this, they understood that they should move to America. The reason for the coded message was concern that the correspondence would be read by the authorities in Ireland. At that time all young men had to fulfill a number of years of military service, and the two Elliott sons might be prevented from leaving the country.
    It was in 1785 that the rest of the Elliott family sailed from Londonderry, Ireland, on the “Faithful Steward.” The group consisted of the father, five daughters, and two sons, Simon and William, accompanied also by a number of cousins named Stewart and Lee. When their ship reached the shore off MahoganyBay in New Jersey, it was driven by a storm onto the rocks, where all the family perished except John’s brothers, Simon and William. Family history says that chests full of the family’s valuable goods were washed ashore, but they were stolen by land pirates of the coast. ..
    it will be a wonderful gift item!
