Crozier Elliot
Elliot Chief receives a tribute to her grandmothers at Greenville, SC
Forty-eight Elliot Clan Society members participated in the Chief ís Dinner on Saturday evening
during the Greenville Games. Duringdinner, Elliot Clan Society member and South Carolina re-enactor, William Grissop, of Travelers Rest, South Carolina delivered a moving tribute to the Chief – honoring her Scottish Border and Southern Grandmothers. The Elliot Chief descends from a line of hereditary Chiefs back to the time of Robert the Bruce in the 1300s in Scotland. Through her Atlanta-born paternal grandmother, she also descends from many early South Carolina families who settled in that state before the American Revolutionary War. Here are the words Mr. Grissop shared with Margaret Elliott of Redheugh: Margaret Eliott is a daughter of the Scottish Borders, that fabled land that produced the men known as the Border Reivers or the Steel Bonnets. They were indeed men of steel. It need not be doubted that these men of steel sprang from, married and fathered women of steel. To even read casually of the Border history would make one wonder what sort of women were these who mothered, married and supported these men, the Steel Bonnets. These were strong women, resilient women, loving women. Were it not so, we of the Elliot Clan would not be here today. Our Chief, Margaret Elliott, is blood and sinew of these people. She is also blood and sinew of another proud line of strong women. Chief Margaret is also a Southern Girl! Her paternal grandmother was bornin Georgia and other grandmothers were born in South Carolina and Tennessee. (Being a native South Carolinian with much Georgia blood flow ing through my veins, I can readily state that this is about as much glory as one person can stand!) These women of the South have proven their glorious worth over the years.

Which is an indications of a pre-surname link of and Elliott to those which tie their surnames to these localities.
For more information;
A William le Gros (Cros) built Scarborough castle;
• William le Gros Earl of Yorkshire (Count of Aumale) died 1179 could easily be the influence of the Croyser of today’s border region being of Yorkshire. Name similarities exist between, Le Cros and Le Gros and today’s Crozier and Grozier surnames. William le Gros, owned Scarborough Castle. Borough means fort and is symbolized on the shield of Scarborough. Scarborough is of AngloSaxon origins, and people with the surname Scarborough are known to be from Scarborough. The Y-DNA of the people named Scarborough was used to locate an entry point into the British Isles, of an Elfwald/Elwald.[8] Name version of Crozier with a G; Grosar, Grosars, Grossars (RB Armstrong), Gros, and Grozier, which OCR (optical character recognition), sometimes read the upper case C as a G, is questioned if the document is handwritten, that it may have been transcribed in the past with a C transcribed as a G. William le Gros, Count of Aumale, was a powerful Anglo-Norman baron and grand-nephew of William the Conqueror.

Wonder where Keith Elliot Hunter acquired it from?
Map of above Robert is living in Lariston, and Martin in nearby Prickenhaugh. Martin was living on Bothwell lease of Braidley near Hermitage Castle, then moved to Redheugh land of Prickinghaugh, likely when his older brother Robert 15 was not living there, but his son Robert 16 (son of sister Jean Scot of Buccleuch, and designated chief) of Redheugh land was living in Lariston and his half brother William first living with father in Lariston, moved on to land of his mother Margaret to Harstgarth, where peel was built by Robert 15.
The Martin Elwald of Redheugh, is likely brother to Robert Elwald 15 of Redheugh, and died early, so the next generation menti on above Robert Ellot is Robert 16, half brother William Ellot of Hartsgrath, and Gilbert Elliot who’s first son is William, and his first son is Sir Gilbert. Robert 15 first daughter is Margaret, named after his mistress Margaret Kidd, not after his wife Jean Scot sister to Buccleuch. 5-16-2016 MSE
The 1704 Lariston family tree was so important it was one of the items which survived the Stobs fire of 1720 showing Robert Elliot 15 is of Lariston and his brother Martin is of Prickinghaugh.
Scandinavian forms of Crozier and Elliot show up in distribution mapping.

Comment: It is very true when you end on the note “because the above may need many rewrites to get the proper concepts across fro Clan Crozier-Ellwood”. And as I can’t find anything when searching for “Crozier-Ellwood” I’m about to say this is a little prank. But prove me wrong. — Sam Sailor Talk! 12:59, 21 September 2015
In Construction a Draft
This article is to try to established, vanquished clans, and will be dependent on being a sept? of the unvanquished Clan Armstrong that of the Crozier and Ellwood, which is felt to compliment each other and not think alike. From the Ellwood, will be taking the established arms, a set of arms previous to the Redheugh/Stobs Eliott, but retain the stag head theme of both clan, and brought to America, likely by Ulster Crozier. The Crosier family has established a tartan on their own, and this tartan will be the tartan of the combined clan, since the Ellwood do not have a tartan. The clans are complimentary. One clan has to offer what the other needs to make a clan.
The Ellwood, is basically of the Elwold (Elwould, Elwode), family line, and does not have any linguistic connection to Wm de Aliot, of southern France, though it is known that in the past the UK Clan Elliot has claimed them today they do not recognize the migration path from Croyland to Cumberland, of the Ellwood which Clan Armstrong does, a long which surname distribution patterns of the surname Ellwood. The UK Elliot Clan have taken a path of singularity unlike the previous chief of a singular French Norman origin, of which the Ellwood, like the Armstrong have an Anglo-Saxon Germanic origin.
Today the major populace because the name Elwold of Germanic-“wold”, migrated to the English word “wood” which different linguistic origins, but similar in meaning of “small forest”, “a wold/wood”, and the name basically into Scotland went as “wald” (forest).
The Ellwood will compliment the Crozier in there locality of migration being similar to the earlier Crozier, and the Crozier migration being similar to the ancestors of the Ellwood, which migrated into Scotland and onto Ireland. So putting the two together gives a more complete migration of many of the Scottish Clan names.
Hopefully the reader will realize the direction, and can pitch in on the direction, because the above may need many rewrites to get the proper concepts across fro Clan Crozier-Ellwood.

Categories: AfC submissions by date/20 September 2015
Appreciate the synopsis on a deleted article I once submitted, to bring about more understanding of what I must have been trying to get across. At least I now have a tartan which may be considered by the Gorrenberry branch of Elliott.
Ellwood, though carried over to Ulster as Elwood, is mainly a name which migrated northwest to Cumberland of Cumbria, England, and on crossing over into Scotland the form became Ellot (Elliot).
