Above shield is the one last in acceptance, and is felt with the red background, golden stars and stag, with silver/white chevron is the closest pattern after the one of Gorrenberry and Redheugh, before Redheugh adopted the shield with the elwand in the bend, in the 16th century.  Gorrenberry retains the previous shield.  Note that the chevron denotes land ownership. William Ellot addressed as Goodman of Gorrenberry, where Goodman also denotes land ownership.

The Gorrenberry Crest is of William Elwald/Ellot of Gorrenberry;

William Elwald of McPatrik (names Mosspatrikswine (where the burn spreads out, and after the son of Patrick Hepburn-Boswell which acquired the lands of Archibald Douglas), McPatrikhope, upper Broadlleehope, Braidleyhope, and Braidley Burn), these lands were listed with early land which Robert of Redheugh obtained from William Douglas of the Barony of Cavers at the beginning of the sixteenth century, but it is this upper part of Braidley Burn still in Liddesdale passed into the hands of the head of the Gorrenberry lands that of the name William, so this William Elwald found in McPatrik is considered the son of the one at the listed as William Elwald de Gorrenberry, at the time Robert received lands of Redheugh and Lariston.

 

Gorrenberry, and the Walter Scot, family were represented at the infeft of land of Robert of Redheugh. The above expresses my line of William Elwald/Ellot of Gorrenberry, along with William Ellot of Prickhaugh, and Robert Ellot of Braidlie in support of Robert Ellot of Redheugh, which was said to plot to assassinate Buccleuch, though I as an Elwald/Ellot of Gorrenberry, which line was in attendance with the Walter Scot, of Edshaw son of David Scot of Buccleuch line, which was there and in 1624 said Robert was note properly infefted, with the documentations, which shows he was. Buccleuch, like the Armstrong have indicated to me can not be trusted.

When Buccleuch, Richard Scot of Buccluech Estate, stated that he would bring law against the Border Council, which like him went against the Hermitage Castle Muirhall Wind Farm, this was to try to appease the Armstrong, when it was the crocked as Gilnockie’s government of James V, today’s wind farm purchased Scottish Government personnel, in which under the protection of James V. border Armistrang (Scottish strong army ie Armstrong), and Elwald (ie Ellot) were hung.

The “Cowie of Gorrenberry”, died along with the last of the Gorrenberry line, but my family was living as leasers of the Somerville-Hamiliton Anglican, Tullikelter, Fermanagh, Ulster Castle/Manor, and we of the Gorrenberry line did not die off.

Note; Redheugh, Lariston & Hartsgarth, are in the above, and therefore share the same shield with an elwand on it. Gilbert of Hartsgarth uses the same shield;

Could it be that Hartsgarth was interpreted as Horslihill?

 

Redheugh and Gorrenberry gangs 1518;

It should be noted that Lariston is part of the lands of Redheugh. Redheugh, Braidley part of the Barony of Cavers, Copshaw south near Mangerton, and William a common name for the Gorrenberry family.

In which William Elwald holder of the lands of Gorrenberry helped to bring the lands of Archibald “Bell the Cat” Douglas fifth earl of Angus in which Robert Elwald was the family squire and to become Robert Elwald of Redheugh, and Lariston, and many of the nearby lands, between the Hermitage  (Armytage), and Mangerton.

 

 

Land of William Ellot of Horsleyhill passed to son William;

The seal above is of William Ellot of Horseleyhill then Gorrenberry.

Adjusted to be similar to;

 

The shield is of;

 

 

The elk-head and antlers are of   Ælfwald ( Alfƿold, “from 713 to 749) minted in York ;

 

 

alias for Elwald is Elwood;

Cottingham is near York where the Elwood arms is from;

In the Elwood history the name Robert Elwald of York is given;

 

Also the surname Allwood is given;

Distribution localities for Robert Elwald and Allwood surname is new entry of the Anglo-Danish into the region.

 

One can see the similarity between the shield of the Ker, and Horseliehill (Gorrenberry).

With an elk (european moose) on the crest.

 

As given above the Elwald/Ellot (Eliot) of Gorrenberry, lived next to the Nixon (Dixon), of Sundhope, and next to the Armistrang/Armstrong of Billhope.

 

 

A lot of names in this region are list as foresta; take it to be groves/parks of trees, and these foresta region were given names;

Elwald, meaning people of small foresta region, lived in these areas, Archibald Elwald of Gorrenberry, as listed on the Liddesdale Rent Roll of 1541;

Elwald and Anglo-Saxon saintly name of King/Saint Elwald bone buried in Hexam Abbey, Northumberland, were changed or dropped at the time of the Reformation and then the name became Ellot. There still is a concentration of descendants now referred to as Elliot living in this region.

One can see where the name Windy Edge for the proposed Infinis wind farm came from.  The shape of land acquire closely resembles the shape of the land acquired for the Windy Edge, not better described as Hermitage Castle wind farm.

 

The Y-DNA, of the Ellot/Elliot, modal, of Daniel Ellet/Elliot who left testimony for the Salem Witch Trials, shows a closeness to Ker/Kerr.

MIGRATION SEEMS TO TRAVEL WITH THE FAIRY BEAR (FAIRBAIRN/ARMSTRONG)

 

The Fairy Bear would be the Armstrong and the Elgwald/Elfwald/Elwald of elk (moose) of the wood/forest,  would be the Ellot with the inserted “i” which became an English form of the English Wm de Aliot; Eliot, became Elliot.

Since The Bear, and The Elk are of a single mother;  The Bear and The Elk (moose) are related.

Elwald to Ellot, and Ker to Kerr surname migration seems to follow the same paths.

One can see above with excellent research done by Robert P. Elliott, also a part of the group which is of the Daniel Elliot modal, which presented testimony for the Salem Witch trials, which shows our Y-DNA as close to the Ker/Kerr/Carr variants, as the Eliot/Elliot/Elliott variants.

 

One should note that the symbol before it arrived in the British Isles it was felt that  the stag head was of an elk (moose) stag. The Ker name in one definition is said to mean people of the swamp land an that is where the elk (moose) would exist. It is also felt that the Ker may have a strong sense of visual correction, with a greater proportion then any surname of being left handed.

 

It should be noted that the Horseleyhill/Gorrenberry Crest seems to be the same of as the Ellwood crest out of Yorks.

Without support of the family of Buccleuch the William of Gorrenberry line was abolished from both kingdoms at the time of the Union of the Crowns, and the land went to John Scott first Laird of Gorrenberry;

 

Margaret Scott natual daughter of Walter Lord Scott of Buccleuch, and sister of John Scott, 1st Laird of Gorrenberry, ca 1628.

M. Elliott    11/8/2014

The lands of Andrew (Dand) Ellot of the Gorrenberry line after being abolished from both kingdoms 1607, without support of the Buccleuch line, was not acquired by Gavin Ellot of Stobs, or Robert Ellot of Redheugh, but by the Scott of Buccleuch. The people which supported the those of Gorrenberry which rode with nearby Martin Ellot of Braidley, which supported the Armstrong were abolished from the Borderland also.

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Scott

The Scotts had become one of the most powerful of all the Border clans by the end of the fifteenth century and the chief could call upon a thousand spears to support him.[3] Like most of the Border Reiver clans the Scotts quarrelled with their neighbours, in particular the Clan Kerr.[3] The feud began on the 25 July 1526 when Sir Walter Scott of Buccleuch launched an attack (the Battle of Melrose) to rescue the young James V of Scotland who was being held by the Douglas Earl of Angus at Darnick just west of Melrose, and in the ensuing fight Kerr of Cessford was killed.[3] Sir Walter Scott was also wounded in the action.[3] Scott later fought against the English at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh and four years later was appointed warden of Liddesdale and the Middle Marches.[3] The Kerrs however were biding their time and in 1552 they set upon Sir Walter Scott on Edinburgh High Street and killed him.[3] The feud came to an end when Sir Thomas Kerr of Ferinhurst married Janet Scott who was the sister of the tenth Laird of Buccleuch.[3]

In 1565 a deadly feud arose between the Clan Scott and their neighbours the Clan Eliott.[5] Scott of Buccleuch executed four Eliotts for the minor crime of cattle rustling.[5] In repsonse three hundred Eliotts rode to avenge the fate of their kinsmen and during the battle losses on both sides were heavy but eventually the two clans came to terms with each other.[5]

Today, the Redheugh Eliott, the Kerr Clan chief, and the Duke of Roxburghe, are or have been of Northern British Windpower (NBW), Limited, and have won a suit which the Duke of Northumberland a relative of Buccleuch brought against them. Today this feuding on the borders Buccleuch, Armstrong, and the Cowie of Gorrenberry, noted to show up when the family of Elwald/Ellot needs help, are riding with centuries old protectorate of The Hermitage Castle, the Buccleuch family, The Clan which protects the ancestral lands of the reivers, and is of Scotlands strongest army the Clan Armstrong, and one Cowie of Gorrenberry protecting family lands of those who have went abroad, and supporting the Elwald/Ellot family of the father’s father.

Northern British Windpower, Inc if the clan chief of Clan Elliot, of Clan Kerr, and/or the Duke of Roxburghe, haven’t stood out against the desecration of The Hermitage Castle by the placement of Windy Edge Wind Farm of Infinis on Hermitage Castle Hill. In other words Infinis is doing the dirty work of the Redhuegh Eliott allied with the Clan Kerr against Buccleuch, Armstrong, and The Gorrenberry Elwald/Ellot.

M. Elliott  11/9/2014

 

Again;

 

A lot of names in this region are list as foresta; take it to be groves/parks of trees, and these foresta region were given names;

Elwald, meaning people of small foresta region, lived in these areas, Archibald Elwald of Gorrenberry, as listed on the Liddesdale Rent Roll of 1541;

Elwald and Anglo-Saxon saintly name of King/Saint Elwald bone buried in Hexam Abbey, Northumberland, were changed or dropped at the time of the Reformation and then the name became Ellot. There still is a concentration of descendants now referred to as Elliot living in this region.

One can see where the name Windy Edge for the proposed Infinis wind farm came from.  The shape of land acquire closely resembles the shape of the land acquired for the Windy Edge, not better described as Hermitage Castle wind farm.

It should be noted, that the Redheugh (red-likely oxides of iron in the soil on a slope)/Thorsleehope (valley in which Thor could stay out of the wind) used a different crest with an elwand, an Edinburgh standard a rod/wand and ell in length previous to the Union in which an imperial yard stick (a rod a London standard of a yard in length) not the standard French meter/metre is used.

 

The above are examples of; coats of arms bearing an elwand/ellwand in bend. 

 

Should be noted that it is said that the Fermanagh, Ellot/Elliot/Elliott on record in Ulster, Ireland utilzed a similar shield to that of Sir Gilbert Elliot. This is felt to be most likely that of the Daniel Elliot line of Tullykelter/Tullikelter.

 

Robertus of Redheugh had lands 1619;

 

Along with Gavin born of Redheug in-law to Buccleuch of Baillillie/Stobs not lands of Horseleyhill which William the oldest owned presented Robertus Ellot along with two of his daughters a portion of his lands of Stob in 1621;

 

Robin Eliott  Sweet Milk 1620.

Sweet milk is of Stobs, Stobs of Baillillie, Baillillie of Horseleyhill, Horseleyhill is of Gorrenberry.

Gilbert was born of Redheugh, and that is why Redheugh, and Stobs utilized a shield with and elwand (rod an Edinburgh el/ell/eln in length) on it, but his parentage is of Horselyhill/Baillillie and Stobs, for father, and of Buccleuch for mother. Gilbert was also married in to the Scott family. So being of born of Redheugh, parentage of Gorrenberry/Horseleyhill and mother’s side strongly Buccleuch, and Scott, this was the beginning at The Union of the Crown, when other members of the Redheugh (Martin), Gorrenberry (Andrew) and Scott resettled because of banishment from the borders on to Ulster with the Gorrenberry/Horseleyhill family having help from the Hamiltons, and the Martin Ellot Redheugh family seems to have help from the long allied Hume of family to the same region of Fermanagh, County in the Ulster Plantation.

It should be noted; In 1620 when Robertus Ellot of Redheugh receives part of Stobs, when Robin Eliott is of Stobs. Robin  (son of Rob) Hob like Bob for Robert is used by the other families.  Stobs is the family which uses the Eliott spelling. In around 1620 the line of the chieftain with support of the in-law Buccleuch family was transferred from Redheugh to Stob, this portion of land transferred from Stobs to Redheugh, may have been a part of the transfer of the chieftain.

In the following one can see the lands which Sir Gilbert acquired are of the lands in the region of the Howpaslot, Edschaw, Branxholm, which is now the Buccleuch scot. Basically the line transferred to the Buccleuch family.

 

Buck you would not have your  sister, and Gavin, taking in an illegitimate son of Helen Kid, and Robert of Redheugh, into the family of Stobs, then making him clan chief, now would you?

In the following Helen Kidd above is referred to as Maggie Kidd below and said to be the mother of Gilbert (Gib) Ellot-Elliot-Eliott of Stobs, which from Robert of Lariston (Redheugh), the chieftain of the Clan was transferred at the beginning of the seventeenth century from Robert Ellot-Elliot of Lariston-Redheugh father of with mother Kidd to Gilbert of Redheugh-Horsleyhill then acquiring Stobs from Gavin, adopting father, and wife of Robert at time of Gilbert’s birth, Jean Scot sister to Buccleuch.

 

 

Horslihill or Hartgarth on seal?

Redheugh, Lariston and Hartgart, are apart of the original deeded land to Robert Elwald, and it is felt this is when they changed shields from the elk head and antlers to the elwand on the band.

 

Hartsgarth and Gorrenberry are close to the Hermitage Castle. Gorrenberry is up the Hermitage Water, and Hartgarth is down the Hermitage water from the castle.

 

Should be noted that Marion Hamilton, wife of Robert of Redheugh had five sons;

First three; Robert of Redheugh, William of Hartsgarth, and Gilbert of Stobs in family tree;

Gavin of Stobs stepfather by marriage to Jean Scot, mother-in-law to Marion Hamilton wife to son of chief Robert, Robert chief also was not liked by Gavin;

The chieftain line transferred from Robert of Redheugh to minor brother Gilbert of Stobs, this may give reason for non-recognition of the Elwald/Ellot line, of Braidley not being between Gorrenberry and The Hermitage Castle, a support for the Infinis, Windy Edge wind farm by todays Eliott of Redheugh-Stobs placing it on the Gorrenberry-Braidlie Estate of my families pre-Union ancestral land. The is what an Anglo-Dane gets when they are banished from both kingdoms in 1607. At least the Hamilton family helped granddad to get resettled on lands of Archbishop Malcolm Hamilton, of Monea on Tullykelter, and a Martin Ellot family of Braidlie origin was resettled nearby on Sir John Hume land, of Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland, where many of our Armstrong brethren also settle. No one resettle in Ulster would use the names Gilbert or Walter for the Ellot or Armstrong.

At this time, 1590 one can see on map there is no Redheugh, but Robert is living in Lariston;

 

On 1590 map Ro Ellotts of Ladiestaine (Lariston) and Herskerth (Hartsgarth), but not Redheugh is not listed which would indicate in 1590 Lariston is the home of chier Robert Ellot, and Hartsgarth is shown to be of importance also.

More info on Maggie Kidd of Hartsgarth;

No wonder my Ulster and Plantation American line did not care for the name Gilbert.  That may be why Arthur Eliott did a misplacement of Braidlie, on Clan map, and family wants to make sure my line remains vanquished by seeing a wind farm gets placed on the ancestral lands of the families of Gorrenberry, and Martin Elwood.

Lariston has a similar arms;

So the seal and the arms of William of Horseleyhill is different from Redheugh, Lariston, and Stobs, a would be the arms of a different landholding family and the other land holding family would be that of William Elwald of Gorrenberry.

So the seal and the arms of William of Horseleyhill is different from Redheugh, Lariston, and Stobs, a would be the arms of a different landholding family and would be that of the other land holding family would be that of William Elwald/Ellot of Gorrenberry/Horseleyhill.

It should be noted; It is felt that since William Ellot of Gorrenberry lived at McPatrickhope. Ade Ellot to Adam Elliot as Cowadis seemed to keep the Cowie of Gorrenberry story going. And the names Adam and Patrick are Bothwell (Hepburn) names, with Martin of Braidley living at Braidley, but building his first tower near Laristion land. In the about map it also shows the Gorrenberry-Braidley lands combined. It is felt that William Elwald/Ellot acquired lands from William Douglas of the Barony of Cavers and those lands were Braidley, McPatrickhope, and Shaws.

 

It is felt the Gorrenberry Crest is the old Elwald/Elwood of Yorkshire Crest, when Robert received the land of Redheugh and Lariston, he created his own crest with and Edinburgh standard elwand on the bend, and Gilbert born of Robert and Jean Scot (Buccleuch’s sister) of Redheugh, but was of Gavin and Jean Scot of Gorrenberry-Horseleyhill-Stobs, adopted the Redheugh shield for Stobs, but the Stobs name from the line of Gorrenberry.

 

 

Noted; Gilbert was born of Redhuegh, but was raised by Gavin, and Jean Scot, sister to Buccleuch, of Stobs. Family is related to the Gorrenberry/Horseleyhill line in this fashion.

It should be noted;

Gilbert of Redhuegh, Andrew of Gorrenberry, and Martin Braidley used names;

William, Robert, Archibald and Gavin;

 

 

For Gibbe’s brothers the names Robin, Wille, Arche, and Gawan Ellot are used.

 

Andrew Dan/Daniel of Tullykelter Fermanagh, Ulster uses names; William, Robert, and Gavin, his older brother Robert of Armangh uses the name Archibald.

 

So all are likely related. Map of Fermanagh, Magherboy;

 

It should be noted that it took a couple of generations for the Buccleuch to follow the policies of the united king, but basically, land which was acquired from the Scot family was given to Gilbert, and Stobs pasted to Gilbert like a son to Gavin, and Jean Scot.  Buccleuch Scott family received the lands of Gorrenberry.

 

Mark Elliott 12/3/2014

 

The introduction of the “I” into the Scottish “Ellot” in the middle of the 17th century, the name took on a similarity to “Elliot”, belonging to the English Norman family of St. Germans in Cornwall, whose crest was an elephant head and whose stem “Alyot”, was quite different than or own.

ENGLISH ELIOT DISTRIBUTION OF WM DE ALIOT;

It is felt there are a few of the  Eliot of Wm de Aliot, which have not in Southern England just north of France which added a “L” or a “T”. It is felt historically though very few have extracted an “L” or a “T” from their name over time. Today it is felt in England the vast majority which spell their name today as Elliott originated as Eliot.

Martin Ellot lead the clan and acted as clan chief in the later part of the sixteenth century, when an Robert Ellot was not available. Martin was a minor son of Redheugh, and lived on Barony of Cavers land; Braidley acquired by Redheugh from a William Douglas of Cavers.

APPENDIX C

The Name

In charters prior to 1500 the name was usually written in Old English ‘Elwald’ or ‘Elwold’. But is was always pronounced ‘Ellot’ (as it often is in the Borders to-day) and by 1600 the phonetic spelling had almost completely superseded all other forms. It therefore appears correct to regard the earlier Saxon form of spelling as archaic an to refer to the clan as ‘Ellots’ until about 1650 when the name was changed altogether to ‘Elliot’.

 

 

 

The Elliots The Story of the Border Clan Arthur Eliott 1986;

The only serious contention remaining, which is favoured by some modern historians, ascribes the surname to fairly common old Northumbrian christian name of Elwold or Elwald. While convenient in its simplicity, evidence of the Clan’s connection is lacking and, with only two references to Elwald as a surname prior to 1400— in 1230 and 1357 (in Northumberland)– we have no way of testing the validity of this theory.

The name ELLIOT was retained after about 1650 when and “i” was inserted into the Scottish name ELLOT.

The Elliots; The Story of a Border Clan,
Arthur Eliott 1986 page 93

The history of the emigrations of Border Scots, after the suppression of the clan system in the Borders in the early 1600s, provides some distinct pointers to the distribution of our Clan today and, indeed, give reasonable grounds for supposing that, outside England and Wales, the great majority of those who today call themselves Elliotts are of Scottish origin.

Elwald Crest with Robert Elwald of Redheugh claims.

 

Though Elwald, like Ewald have German roots, the above Robert Elwald crest is listed as an Ewald crest.. It is felt since wald is forest tree is symbol along with stag head related to Elwald/Ewald.

One can not help but recognize similarities in above two crests.
