Richard Eliot
Edit Profile

Career
He became embroiled at Oxford in various difficulties, which are mentioned without further detail in his father"s writings. Further problems ensued when Richard failed or refused to visit his father in the Tower. lieutenant is known that he went to the Low Countries under Sir Edward Howard around February 1632.
General Granville Elliott (1713 - 1759) spent much time and effort trying to prove that Richard Eliot had married Catherine Killigrew (1618 - 1689), and had a child George Elliott born around 1636.
However, documents survive that show that Richard died "ob cael", id est (that is) a bachelor, and that, in 1656, Catherine was known as a spinster aged 38. lieutenant is likely, however, that George Elliott was the illegitimate son of Richard and Catherine.
