Tombstone Tuesday : Michael Patterson Elliott

February 9, 2010 in Tombstone Tuesday by Michael | 2 comments

Michael Patterson Elliott (26 Aug 1843 – 24 May 1934) was my 4th great grandfather. He was the son of Peter Bollinger Elliott and Susannah Grindstaff of Carter County, Tennessee. This gravestone is located in the Elliott Cemetery in Washington County, Tennessee. As the tombstone says, he was a Private in Company B of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry and according to the 1890 Veteran’s Census his service lasted between 22 Sep 1863 to 5 Sep 1865.

    My G-G-G-Grandfather/Grandmother Michael and Sallie Grindstaff lived next door to Peter and Susannah I believe. Pretty cool.

    Michael: Peter Bollinger Elliott is my direct ancestor (through daughter Nancy Catherine) but I do not have much information on him (or further back) or siblings. Do you have anything further you would be willing to share with me? Keith
