DEATH OF THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE COUNTY Mrs. Jane Elliott, who was undoubtedly the oldest person in this county, died at her residence in Eagle Mills township on the 22d of November. She was over 100 years old--as accurately as can be ascertained, 102. She left 115 descendants. The oldest of her descendants of the fourth generation--great great grandchildren--is Mr. Net Reeves, who is 24 years of age. She was buried at Union Grove, the funeral sermon having been preached by Rev. Dr. J. P. Nicholson, who had attended her in her last illness. She retained her mental faculties to the last and had been able to go to the table up to two weeks before her death. Mrs. Elliott was raised in Rowan county. Her husband died a number of years ago, and his funeral was preached with hers.
-----------------------------------------------------
Jane was married to Elcana Elliott on 17 Aug 1819
His parents were:
Lemuel Elliot (1769-1844) and Elizabeth Morgan (1765-1820)
I do not know the location of his grave at this time. A daughter of theirs was my great grandmother.
