Notes about Susan Ola Elliott

REMARKS: Susan Ola Elliott, "Susan", was born on November 3, 1879, on her
father's farm in Cleveland County, North Carolina, the daughter of Thomas
Forbis Elliott, "Tommy", and Rebecca Bell Hoyle Elliott, "Bell". She was
the
oldest of their eleven children, who were born in the following order:
Susan
Ola, "Susan"; Sarah Tressia, "Sarah"; 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.

After her mother died January 17, 1904, after giving birth to Belle, Susan
assumed responsibility for running the household. In 1908, four years
later,
her father married Carrie Alma, "Carrie", Withrow. Susan has a
half-brother,
Valentine Jason Elliott, "Val", from her father's second marriage.

Susan taught school at Belwood for several years. Later, she was a county
agent.

On January 2, 1918, Susan married Rufus Lee Weathers, and they had five
children, who were born in the following order: Rufus Yancy, "Rufus";
Pantha
Elliott, "Pantha"; Ola Elvira, "Ola"; Marceline Alice, "Marcie"; and
Thomas
Wilkins Weathers, "Tommy". Rufus and Susan lived on a farm near
Polkville.
Rufus died on April 27, 1943, and Susan died May 24, 1954.

Susan grew up on her father's farm, which was in Number 8 township, near
Polkville, about 12 miles northwest of Shelby, the county seat. She 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, Susan'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. Susan 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.
