Family
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.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“In the family sandwich, the older people and the younger ones can recognize one another as the bread. Those in the middle are, for a time, the meat.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
