Elliott bought a portion of Whitelaw's tract N79 from John Upshur, wife Elizabeth, and so John T. Elliott became possessed of the whole tract. For some years Elliott and Upshur were partners in a mercantile business. According to the Upshur Family in Virginia, 2nd Ed, John T. Elliott was a business partner of John Upshur of Brownsville from whom he bought a large tract of land in Northampton County on the bayside. The property was situated between Nassawadox Creek and Church or Broad Creek, in that area since known as Elliott's Neck. Here he built "Metron" which burned about 1895, a handsome brick house where he and Juliet lived until he died..¹⁴ According to Rev. John W.A. Elliott's Ledger Book, he had a large amount of Negro property and 18 hundred pounds in sterling and was said to be the richest man in the County of Northampton or the Eastern Shore of Virginia. After retiring from a business life he settled on his stately mansion as before named and married a high-minded woman without means that led him a miserable life the remainder of his days. He intended to make his wife his only heir and made a will to that effect, but in his last illness being so badly treated went privately to his secretary (his desk), drew from it the will that had been duly executed, and destroyed it, and returned to his chamber unsuspected.

This was the site of Merton, the Elliott home. About 1895 the brick house was burned, and it is traditional that it was quite similar to Chatham (N69A) and that it was erected for Elliott by the same builder, after the latter was finished. Around the homesite has been built up the present village of Bayford. Also in 1833 tract N86, the present Nassawadox crossroad, was surveyed as a part of the real estate holdings of the late John T.
