Mary Elliott, who married Garrett Fitzmaurice (died May 1738) in Ireland, claimed to be a natural daughter of Roger Elliott.
On 4 March 1712 at St Peter's Church, Cornhill, Roger married Charlotte Elliot (c.1692 - c.1753), the daughter of William 'the Laceman' Elliot, and they had two children:
- Granville Elliott (7 October 1713 – 10 October 1759, General, Graf von Eliot, Comte de Morhange)
- Catherine (Kitty) Elliott (18 September 1714 – 15 January 1757), who married firstly c. 1735 to Charles Boyle (of Araglin Bridge, co Cork, related to the Earls of Cork and Orrery), and secondly, in 1742, to the Very Rev Robert Bligh, the Dean of Elphin and a younger brother of the 1st Earl of Darnley.
