EMARKS: John Paxton Elliott was born January 5, 1817, in Rutherford (now
Cleveland) County, North Carolina, the son of John Crenshaw Elliott and
Mary
Donoho/Donaho. He was the fifth of their ten children: Susan, Elizabeth
Donoho,
Nancy, William Martin, John Paxton, Thomas F., Edward Donaho, James
Crenshaw,
Andrew Jackson, and Mary Forbis Elliott.
On September 1, 1842, John Paxton Elliott married Sarah Beam, daughter of
Christopher Beam and Margaret Gordon. They had ten children: Christopher
Beam, Mary Donoho, Margaret Gordon, Thomas Forbis, Oliver Beam, Ann
Elizabeth,
Sarah Susan, John Daniel, Andrew Jackson, and Robert Lafayette Elliott.
In 1840, John Paxton Elliott selected a homesite on his father's estate.
The
site selected was on the north side of Hinton's Creek near a spring of
running
water. He cleared the land and built a two-story log home with a large
living
room downstairs and a large sleeping room upstairs. Two rooms were added
on
the west side of the house, one was a kitchen with a stone chimney on the
northwest corner, and the other was a store or work room.
The materials for the house were cut from the native trees and put
together
with pegs. There were small, high windows with glass panes on each side
of the
fireplace in the main room, and there was a stairway on the right side of
the
fireplace leading upstairs to the bedroom. The exterior of the house was
weatherboarded, but the interior was not ceiled. The split (Dutch) door
on
the east side of the main room led to the spring.
Cleveland County was from Rutherford and Lincoln Counties in 1842.
Although
it was moved a few feet from its original location when the Oliver Beam
Elliott
house was built, the John Paxton Elliott house is still standing south of
Hollis Road near the boundary between Cleveland and Rutherford counties.
Mary Gordon Elliott, the present owner, has started repairing and
restoring
this historic and unique house.
John Paxton Elliott was a farmer, blacksmith, and a Justice of the
Peace. He
was administrator, along with A. J. Irvin, for the estate of Christopher
Beam,
his father-in-law.
John Paxton Elliott died June 5, 1873, and Sarah Beam Elliott died on
March 23,
1895. They are buried in the Elliott Family Cemetery west of Polkville.
Original data from John Crenshaw Elliott family tree prepared by Angie
Boyd
Hensen. Additional data from John Paxton Elliott family tree prepared by
Mary
Gordon Elliott; "The Family Of John Paxton Elliott" entry in "The
Heritage Of
Cleveland County: Volume I - 1982", written by Mary Gordon Elliott; and a
visit to John Paxton Elliott house in August 1993. A Forest City
newspaper
clipping, "Notes On Interesting Local Family Cemetery", dated 6 Jan 1971,
states
that John Paxton Elliott is buried in Elliott cemetery and gives same
birth and
death dates as the family tree.

MUCH OF THIS RESEARCH IS FROM MERGED RECORDS.
TO INSURE ACCURACY YOU WILL NEED TO VERIFY THE DATA BUT YOU WILL KNOW WHERE TO START. I HOPE IT IS OF SOME HELP.
