      We have found no record of this family in the 1920 Census.

      We also have found no record of William Henry Elliott after the 1925 death of his wife Rosetta. Some researchers have mistakenly reported his death date as 1929, confusing him with William Henry H. Elliott (Dec 1840 - Jan 1929), son of John Elliott & Lydia C. Lowther, buried in Westfall Cemetery in Smithville, Ritchie County. William H. H. Elliott never married.
