Edit Profile
Career
George Eliott"s grandson Granville Elliott spent much effort in seeking to prove that Richard had married Catherine Killigrew, but he was never able to do so formally. Indeed, visitations survive showing that Richard died a bachelor and her mother"s probate documents showing that Catherine was a spinster, aged 38, on 24 December 1656. He reappeared at the Tangier Garrison in Morocco in May 1664 as the "Chirurgeon to the Earl of Teviot"s Regiment at Tangier", where he lived at the Mole, a waterside fortification.
On 18 January 1654 at Street Olave Silver Street, London, Elliott married Katherine Maxwell (c 1638 – December 1709), the daughter of the Review
William Maxwell of Minnigaff (d 1655). Katherine Elliott (b cir December 1660 – unknown)
Margaret Elliott (b cir April 1663 – unknown), who married firstly Richard Andrews and secondly Richard Giles
Roger Elliott (c 1665 – 15 May 1714), who married Charlotte Elliot
In 1668, Elliott died at Tangier, where he was succeeded as Chirurgeon by his assistant, Robert Spotswood (17 September 1637 – 1680), who also married Elliott"s widow.
