  Mother	Ann Wescott,   b. Abt 1718, Northampton County, Virginia, USA d. Jun 1795 (Age 77 years)
  Marriage	1738  [9]
  	According to Rev. John W.A. Elliott's Ledger Book, this marriage took place as supposed in year 1733. Their marriage was performed by a church parson. Mr. Elliott was brought up in the Episcopal Church in England and some of his ancestors were ministers of that order. They became as one by a marriage union, lived in loving friendship and raised a family of interesting children. Sons of the offspring yet remain of Elliotts, Bells, and Mearses. His wife was a lady of high esteem in Northampton County, a Miss Anne Wescott, a lady of some means and who proved to be a most excellent wife. This connection brought Thomas Elliott among the first families of Northampton. He was refined, handsome, and his manners took him amidst the best societies. That intermarriage is respected to the present-day by the Wescott and Elliott families.

  Marriage	Abt 1765  [5, 9, 10]
  	According to Rev. John W.A. Elliott's Ledger Book, Anne Elliott the only daughter was much petted and was not deprived of anything that would be to her comfort. It was the custom of young ladies to practice the riding on horseback. She became very expert on the saddle, and frequently visited her mother's relations in Northampton. She was handsome. Her feats of horse riding procured quite a sensation on the young fellows whom she met, so that quite a rivalry for the gay young damsel arose. Finally a Mr. Bell gained the suite, and they were married. Wedding parties went the rounds, dancing was very fashionable at these early times. After through with their parties the wife wished to settle in the neighborhood of her father and bought and situated themselves on Machipongo, built the house now known as Thomas H. Bell's, one of the descendants. Their family was large and a large descent, many of the great-grandchildren yet remain.
