Reference: Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia. Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County 1745-1800. by Lyman Chalkley. Page 30, contains the record listed in “ ” below concerning James Elliott (who married Martha Risk, dau of John and Martha Risk) with a reference to his father as William Elliott whose age was 92 on July 12, 1792.

      Does anyone have any information on William Risk, who was born 12 July 1699, probably in Ireland and was possibly married to Margaret ???. Information as to his parents and other children besides James would be greatly appreciated.
