I found Capt. W.R. Elliott in the 1850 Collin Co TX cen p4 plus 1870 San Diego CA cen p476. Usually the earlier entries for birthplaces are more correct. Now his entry in my Name Index entry reads:
.
ELLIOTT, Wm. R. Elliott, b-1822 KY or TN; m1-J.A.; m2-Ellen M. 1860 Denton cen p401 (Capt, Co I, 29th Cav, TX CSA)
.
I strive to identify all captains, especially those of North Texas and Indian Territory.
