Oliver Elliott Sr. was born on April 24, 1734, in Groton, Massachusetts, a son of Elias Elliott and his wife, Ruth (Lawrence). He married Mary Fisk on Jan.19, 1758 in Pepperell, Massachusetts. They had five children: Elisabeth (Betsey), Susannah, Esther, Oliver Jr., and Abijah.
Elliott was recorded as a private in the Northern Continental Army militia in 1777. This service was in John Goss’s Company of militia within Captain Nichol’s regiment. This group was raised and marched on July 20, 1777 to reinforce the Northern Army. Elliott also served in Lieutenant Samuel Brown’s Company, Colonel Daniel Moore’s regiment of New Hampshire volunteers. They marched from Dunstable, Massachusetts, and joined the Northern Continental Army as reinforcements at Saratoga, New York, in September 1777. This was under the direction of Brigadier General Whipple. Elliott collected a pension for his service.
Oliver died in Mason, New Hampshire, on March 5, 1837. He is buried in Pleasant View Cemetery in Mason, New Hampshire, though the location of his grave is lost to time.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
