The Douglas Archives

A collection of historical and genalogical records

Cowie of Gorrenberry, Douglas of Cavers, and the Eliott of Stobs, Elliot of Minto and Wolflee.

Us to using a different format, but the above is and example of lands, including an insert-map showing Braidlee, from Anglo-Saxon Broadlee, meaning a valley broad on the leeward side. Wolflee also Anglo-Saxon, meaning the valley of the wolf. Yes, there were wolfs in the region. They introduced them around here and the Navajo grandmas shoot them for going after their sheep. Put chief Margaret Eliott raised in Stobs, but of Redheugh, in the same category if Scotland decides to reintroduce wolfs. Her husband seems to have a Polish wolfish type surname.

Though I may observe him, do not want to make any distinctive moves. Past British Army MI6 you know, but on the same family side.

May have bumped elbows on an Armstrong in the Aberdeenshire region. Finding that Eliott-Elliot may have land connection with Douglas-In-graham in region. Those Graham they are English an seem to not want to claim Armstrong-Elliot as family. Maybe the Nixon and Crozier seem to have English connections they find more acceptable.

Kind of like staying in the Forest with the Fosters, they are English and seem to be not offended to be related to Armstrong and Elliot, from the English side like those Grahams. It is the Hunter and wolf, for they are predators of the elk-moose, I must watch out for.  

The Crozier seem to be Saxon along with the Thorleehope (valley of Thor, god of lightning Thunder Valley). A couple of Crozier seem to match their Y-DNA and are not R-L193. It seem like if you are not R-L192 and are R-U106, Anglo-Saxon they like to silence and exterminate you.  Mark Stephen Elliott

Douglas Scott can be quite extensive in A Hawick Word Book.

Not a historian, but dad Loren Spencer Elliott was a top genealogist on the Elliott line.

Being his oldest of three sons, others deceased, hope one will realize given link I'm the next generation.

Since every generation doubles, hopefully people will pitch-in to puzzle out an doubling in numbers a family tree, which is inclusive of a greater number of people.

Worked for a while as a second-generation engineer in mining. Hope people can spin off their own family stories from given information. Engineers are not the best writers.

Try 'Eliot, Elliot, Eliott, Elliott', then try 'Ellot'.

In 1610 ulster it is 'Ellott', like on the 1590 Liddesdale map.

Elliot Chiefs of Redheugh - Larriston land obtained from Douglas, then Stobs close to Hawick (hoik), and Cavers. Lineage with Sir Arthur Eliott of Stobs father of chief Margaret Eliott of Redheugh. Lariston 1704 pedigree, and George Francie Scott Elliot pedigree, with Daniel Elliot of Tullykelter, Fermanagh may have relations to Gilbert Eliott of Stobs. From west to east Billhope of Thomas Armstrong oldest brother of Johnnie of Gilnockie, Gorrenberry, of Wm of Gorrenberry, Braidley of Wm Douglas of Cavers then the Hermitage Castle outpost of the Scots soldiered by the Elliot, with an armystrand Armstrong along the Scottish side West and Middle March, castle at home of Buccleuch which is home of Neil Armstrong that of Langholm, Scotland. Chieftain home of Thomas was of Mangerton. He's lineage pedigree, feel it needs some work;

Daniel as a forename is not popular in Scotland. Many great in accordance with Douglas Scott of BC, Canada, Dand Ellot was banished from both Kingdoms in 1607, then shows up as Daniel Elliott, in Tullykelter, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland, as part of the Somerville Estate in-law to the Monea Hamilton. Names Somerville, and Ellott show up in 1610 Tyrone Muster, and a generation later in the Co. Fermanagh, Muster. James Somerville shows up in bother musters. 1610 James Somerville had son 1630 Somerville. Scots alias nickname for Andrew is Dand, Irish English it becomes Daniel from surname of Daniel-M'Daniel it may be obtained. Ellot family of Tullykelter were Anglican but nomally Catholic, from forenames show this, even the name in 1610 Ulster Muster of Co. Fermanagh, Marke Ellot shows this. Before 1650 the Scots used Ellot not Elliot with the Norman 'i'. Daniel Elliott name in 1692 Salem Trials was spelled Elot, the 'i' was added likely because of a John Eliot (Eliot Hall Harvard) which came over on the Mayflower. Had a relative to a George Soul who's ancestor those Armstrong may have melted in lead at Ninestanerig, 9 stone ridge. Did not seem to care much for this Soulis either. The Douglas and Armstrong seem to like, and this Douglas Scott who is from BC, Canada is active with the Hoik-Hawick Archaeological Society, and has this younger brother who is active also, and sings Scottish Ballads with this group called Scocha (Scott-Chapman), do not know being an elk-moose if I care for his middle name of Hunter, though I think he also is weary of the hunter.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
