     WILLIAM H. ELLIOTT, one of the prosperous residents of Graves
county, Kentucky, was born in Hickman county, Kentucky, December 13,
1856, a son of William A. and Lucinda C. (Ingraham) Elliott, natives
of Washington county, Kentucky.  The paternal grandfather was James
Elliott, while the maternal grandfather was William Ingraham, and
all were of Irish descent.
     William A. Elliott was a farmer and lived in Hickman county,
being a strong Democrat, and a consistent member of the Catholic
church, dying firm in that faith August 11, 1871.  His wife is
living at the age of seventy-five years, in excellent health.  Seven
children were born to them, namely: Nancy J., William H., Adolph I.,
James, Laura B., Lucinda F. and Nannie F.
     William H. Elliott, better known as Bud Elliott, was reared in
Graves county, and attended the public schools of that locality.  He
began his battle with life as a farmer, and has been so successful
that he has made it and stock trading his occupation.  At present he
owns two hundred and twenty-four acres of fine land under an
excellent state of cultivation and is a breeder of high-grade stock. 
He has one of the best horses in the county, of the Black John
stock.  Mr. Elliott also owns three of the best Jacks in Graves
county, of the Richmond stock.  Like his father, he is both a
Democrat and Catholic.
     In 1878 he was married in Graves county to Miss Anna Carrico,
who died two years later.  In 1883 he married Mrs. Elizabeth
Skinner, whose maiden name was Haden.  She had four children by her
first husband, namely: Mary E., James H., George E. and William E.
Skinner.  To Mr. and Mrs. Elliott the following family was born:
Clarence; Amy C., deceased; Ada O., deceased; Annie L.; Ada G.; and
Dazie E.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Elliott are very highly esteemed in the
neighborhood, and have a host of friends who make their home a
pleasant gathering place.
