    "ORIGIN: Nazeing, Essex"
    "CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admitted to Boston church as member #114, which would be late in 1631 or early in 1632 [BChR 15]. Chosen deacon 27 November 1636 [BChR 10], and ordained in that office 17 May 1640 [BChR 29]. (As deacon Eliot frequently acted in a fiduciary capacity, mostly in settling estates, but his activities in 1640, along with WILLIAM COLBRON, another Boston deacon, in behalf of Griffith Bowen are probably as a result of his position in the church [Lechford 258, 261-62], and his receipt of money for the church on 20 September 1642 was certainly in that capacity [WP 4:354].) Elected elder of the Boston church, 12 September 1650 (BChR 319].
    FREEMAN: 6 March 1631/2 [MBCR 1:367]."
