The Boone County history sketches three Elliott households, all from Kentucky, and never says how they are related, so each is kept apart here. Reuben Elliott, a War of 1812 soldier, married Elizabeth White in 1818 and came to Boone County the next year; a stone mason, he is said to have built the first stone house in the county, for Joseph Little in 1828, and from 1833 he lived on the 217-acre Elliott homestead two miles east of Rocheport, which his grandson William F. Angell bought in 1871. Smith Elliott and his wife Margaret Hutcheson came from Garrett County, Kentucky, in 1825 and settled near Rocheport; their son William T. Elliott crossed the plains to California in the gold rush and came home by way of Panama, Cuba and New York. Fisher Elliott, son of Hiram Elliott of Boyle County, Kentucky, was born there in 1846 and in 1882 owned a small farm half a mile from Centralia. Every fact below is cited to a public-domain Boone County history.
