Classification: Query
Surnames: Elliott, Himstedt
I am looking for information about the ancestry of my great-grandmother.
Her name was Frances Ethel Elliott. She was born in Illinois in December 1884 and married Benjamin Rudolph Himstedt (Himstead).
Her father's name was George W. Elliott. I do not know when or where he was born. He was, according to family legend, a wealthy land owner in Decatur, IL. He was married twice. His first wife, Isabelle Osborne, was Frances' mother. I do not know his second wife's name, only that Frances did not like her.
I know that there are many, many Elliotts throughout the midwest. Perhaps mine match to someone else's? I am very appreciative of any help you can offer!
