REMARKS: John Paxton, "John", Elliott was born on August 10, 1890, on his
father's farm in Cleveland County, North Carolina, the son of Thomas
Forbis,
"Tommy", Elliott and Rebecca Bell Hoyle, "Bell", Elliott. He was the
seventh of their eleven children, who were born in the following order:
Susan
Ola, "Susan"; Sarah Tressia, "Sally"; Mary Forbis, "Mary"; Margaret
Gordon,
"Mag"; Julia Ann, "Julia"; Alice Hoyle, "Alice"; John Paxton, "John";
William
Christopher, "William"; Florence Belle, "Florence"; Virginia Wells,
"Ginny";
and Rebecca Belle, "Belle", Elliott.
On January 17, 1904, John's mother died after giving birth to Belle. In
1908,
four years after his mother's death, his father married Carrie Alma,
"Alma",
Withrow. John had half-brother, Valentine Jason Elliott, "Val", from her
father's second marriage.
On July 13, 1915, John married Fannie Jackson, "Fannie", Whisnant,
daughter of
Charles C. Whisnant and Mary Lattimore Whisnant. They had six children,
who
were born in the following order: Thomas Forbis, "Tom"; Mary Belle,
"Mary
Belle"; Charles Whisnant, "Charlie"; Margaret Marie, "Margaret"; John
Paxton,
"John"; and Robert Hoyle, "Bob", Elliott. The John Paxton Elliott family
lived
on the family farm near Polkville.
John Paxton Elliott died on December 10, 1944, and Fannie died July 20,
1984.
Both are buried in the Elliott Family Cemetery near Polkville.
John grew up on his father's farm, which was in Number 8 township, near
Polkville, about 12 miles northwest of Shelby, the county seat. He had
many
relatives in the area, including the descendants of Martin Elliott, who
fought
in the Revolution and moved to North Carolina from Virginia in 1806, and
his
son, John Crenshaw Elliott, John's great grandfather, who purchased 1300
acres
on Hinton's Creek in 1809, in what was then Rutherford County. After John
Crenshaw Elliott died, his wife deeded the community an acre for the
school and
an acre for the church.
John Crenshaw had six sons: William Martin, John Paxton, Thomas F., Edward
Donoho, Andrew Jackson, and James Finch Elliott; and four daughters:
Susan,
Elizabeth Donoho, Nancy, and Mary F. Elliott. John was descended from
John
Paxton Elliott, who had six sons: Christopher Beam, Thomas Forbis, Oliver
Beam, John Daniel, Andrew Jackson, and Robert Lafayette; and four
daughters:
Mary Donoho, Margaret Gordon, Ann Elizabeth, and Susan Elliott.
John Crenshaw and many of his descendants are buried in the Elliott family
cemetery near Polkville. The descendants of John Crenshaw Elliott have a
family reuntion at the Elliott Church near Polkville on the Saturday
preceding
the fourth Sunday in August. The family historian posts the family trees
on
the side of the church; and the cousins share a potluck lunch; discuss
family
business, including the operation of the Elliott cemetery and maintenance
of
the Elliott Church; renew family ties; and refer to the family trees to
trace
their relationships with newcomersd. It is a great heritage.
