Today I am continuing the Luedtke-Rice public research project with a focus on James Elliott, connected here with TG673245 and the working tag #e1ytku. James Elliott was reportedly born in April 1817 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and died in 1906 in Butler County, Pennsylvania. This research page follows the Elliott family line through Alice S. Elliott and into the McCabe and O’Neal family connection.

The current working relationship path is: James Elliott → father of Alice S. Elliott → mother of Lester McCabe → father of Doug O’Neal → father of Jeremiah O’Neal. This path should be treated as working genealogy until each link is supported by records. The most important research issue is the identity of James Elliott’s spouse. Some online material points to Margaret Scott, born in 1793, but census and child-record clues suggest the mother of James Elliott’s children may have been a younger Margaret, possibly Margaret McKean, McCan, or McCandless.

I created a GitHub Pages researcher page to preserve the clues, organize the evidence questions, and list next records to check. The page is here: https://luedtkerice.j03.page/james-elliott-family-research.html. This is part of the larger research process connected with https://j03.page/ and the continuing Luedtke-Rice research work.
