Possibly born in Savannah, GA or Chatham County, GA. in 1794.
Edward Elliott was the second-born of Thomas Elliott (1760 or 1761 - 1805) and Elizabeth Mayers (or Wilkins) Elliott (1770 - 1805).
He had two other brothers:
Willis Elliott (1793-1860)
William David Elliott (1795-1865)
They were all born in a portion of Warren County which would later become Jefferson County, GA. Their father was a Revolutionary War Patriot, serving as a Lieutenant and "Aide-de-camp" for General Frances Marion. Probably about 1799, the family moved to Spanish West Florida. It is likely that his mother died in Georgia and his father in Spanish West Florida.
Edward's two brothers served in the 10 & 20 Consolidated Regiment of the Louisiana Militia with Andrew Jackson during the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Willis was a private, his brother was the Quarter Master.
He married Marie Louise Jolet (b: 25 Oct 1796, d: ?) in Assumption Parish, LA in about 1817. They had one child: Marie Louise Elliott (1817-1873).
Then he married Maria Schweitzer (b: abt 1797; d: bef 1838) on 22 Apr 1822 in Thibodaux, Lafourche Parish. They had two children: Joseph Elliott (b: abt 1830, d: 1912) and Guillaume William Elliott (b: 1835; d: 1864).
Edward then married Eugenie Bouvier (b: 1815; d: 1862) on 26 Sep 1838 in Lafourche Parish, LA. (License No. 41, Marriage Book 1838, Lafourche Parish.) They had the following children: Gilbert Rosemond Elliott (b: 1840; d: ?), Adolphe Napoleon Elliott (b: 1842; d: 1912), Marie Philomene Agathe Elliott (b: 1844; d: 1875), Marie Josephine Elliott (b: 1845; d: ?), Eugenie Octavie Elliott (b: 1847; d: ?) and Marie Emilie Elliott (b: 1851; d: 1935)
Edward died at the age of 68 of unknown cause at his home in what is now Mathews, Lafourche Parish on 27 Sep 1862 and was buried in St. Mary's Nativity Church Cemetery in Raceland two days later. According to the archivist at the Houma/Thibodaux Dioceses office in Thibodaux, Edward's grave may have been built over in the early part of the 1910's and no records other than the actual date of his burial are known to be recorded. But others say the church would never have built over graves and would have moved them first. This is still being investigated.
