General Notes (Husband)

---

The Court Rolls of the Mercers' Comapny in London mention William's son, George Eliot, for the first time in 1520.

An earlier William Elyott, "who shall have a gowne clothe of the lyverey and also be amytted into the lyverey", in 12 Jun 1461, is too earlly to be William Elliot.

Buried under a black stone with a brass plate, in the southwest corner of St. Michael's church, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire. He and John are both called Gentlemen.

The discovery of the baptism of George's son Magnus in this same London parish, along with the record of the marriage of George's daughter Katherine to John Sparke, both of whom are named in George's will (see below), leaves little doubt that this was the same George Eliot who was buried at Bishops Stortford.

Goerge Eliot, mercer of London, was named in a chancery suit alleging that he sold two tums of bad "gaskin" wine to Richard Kele of London, vintner. A second suit palces George Eliot in London between 1533 adn 1538. Both George and his brother John Eliot Sr were of St. Mary le Bow, London, in 1541, when they paid subsitdy tax in London. John Ellyot, valued at 40 pounds (wiht 20sassessed in Herts, presumably reflecting his presence in Bisohps Stortford, paid 20s., and George Elyott, valued at 200 pounds (with 20s. assessed in Essex), paid 5 pounds. No one by the name of Eliot was taxed in St. Mary le Bow at the time of the 1582 subsidy roll.

In his final will George described his manor of "upweke Hall" with lands in Aldbery, Little Hadham, Farnham, and Stortford, which he left to son Magnus. To son George he left tenemetns called Telles and Grenes and lands called Hallywell containing 81 acres along with a tenement in Little Hadham and a newbuilt tenement previously called Francis, now known as Ellitotts new house", currenlty in the tenure of Simone Eliott. If sons Magnus and Geroge were to die, teh manor would reverte first to John Elyott of London, mercer, and his heirs male, then second to Henry Eliott of Lancocke and his heirs male. As of the date of the final will, sons Magnus and George were still in their "naage".
