[5335] "Ancestry of Bennet Eliot of Nazeing, Essex"
William Wyman Fiske
NEHGR v161 pp85-91 (Apr 2007); pp186-198 (Jul 2007); pp250-259 (Oct 2007);
v162 pp65-72 (Jan 2008); pp128-139 (Apr 2008)
(Fiske provides an elaborate justification for his reconstruction of the
very early Eliot family across the multiple issues listed above. Further
note that there appears to have been two children named John, distinguished
as John Senior or John Junior.)
v161 p255-256: "John Eliot, Senior (William), of Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire. He was
born say 1485, and died 20 October 1557. The name of his first wife is unknown; her burial
is noted in the churchwardens accounts for Bishops Stortford for 1521-22 as 16d. received
"of John Elyat for the wast of the torchis at the buryall of his wyfe." According to the
Essex visitations, unfortunately riddled with inaccuracies, John Eliot married first
Elizabeth Grave and second Margaret Shepey. The name of his first wife in the visitations
is probably incorrect... The will of John Elyott of Bishops Stortford, dated 22 October
1557..."
