    "ORIGIN: Nazeing, Essex."
    "CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admitted to Roxbury church as member #133 in 1635 ('Philip Eliot he died about the 22nd of the 8th month: 57. He was a man of peace, & very faithful, he was many years in the office of a deacon which he discharged faithfully. In his latter years he was very lively useful & active for God, & his cause. The Lord gave him so much acceptance in the hearts of the people that he died under many of his offices of trust that are usually put upon men of his rank, for besides his office of a deacon, he was a deputy to the General Court, he was a commissioner of the government of the town, he was one of the 5 men to order the prudential affairs of the town, & he was chosen to be Feoffee of the Public School in Roxbury' (RChR 81]). Early in 1636, 'Elizabeth Eliot the wife of Philip Eliot' was admitted to Roxbury church as member # 153 [RChR 82].
    FREEMAN: 25 May 1636 (second in a sequence of four Roxbury men) [MBCR 1:371]."

    "Philip (Eliot), Roxbury, br. of the apostle, came prob. early in Apr. 1635, in the Hopewell, Capt. Bundocke, tho. his name is not on the custom ho. list, for it contains his w. Eliz. aged 30, and their ch. Mary, 13; Eliz. 8, Sarah, 6; and Philip, 2; beside John Ruggles, 10, of wh. the ch. rec. says he was brot. over a serv. by Philip Eliot. Mary had been bapt. 11 Mar. 1621; Eliz. 8 Apr. 1627; and Sarah, 25 Jan. 1629. All were from Nazing, the seat of the fam. and we may be sure, that, as a subsidy man, or for other good reason, he could not obtain license to leave his native land, prob. fear. to ask for it, and assum. the right of Eng. to come without. He was freem. 26 May 1636, a deac. in the ch. of his br. at Roxbury rep. 4 yrs. 1654-7 and d. 22 Oct. 1657, says the ch. rec. but the less reliable town rec. has it 24, wh. may have been the day of bur. leav. three ds. Eliz. Sarah, and ano. respective. ws. of Richard Withington of Dorchester, of John Aldis, and of John Smith of Dedham, as rememb. in his will of 21 Oct. 1657; but I think Mary wh. m. 1 Jan. 1642, Edward Payson, and liv. long, was also a d. So that we may conject. that ano. d. had been b. on our side of the ocean, and that Mary had rec. her share of f.'s prop. on her m. many yrs. bef. the will."

    NOTE: Mary was the much younger sister of this Philip Eliot, not his daughter. Since their parents had both died soon after her birth, she likely lived in the family of her sister Sarah (Eliot) Curtis until that family emigrated, then in the family of her brother Philip.
