ELLIOTT, MATTHEW (1749-1814) Born 1749, served as captain in the Royal Indian Department, 1777-1784, and fought at the Battle of Blue Licks and Sandusky in the Indian massacres of the Revolution. He died near Burlington Heights on May 7, 1814, aged 75 years. His wife was Marie Louise Sans Chagrin, who died July 9, 1826, aged 60 years. He was a native of Ireland who removed at an early age to Pennsylvania. He became an Indian trader, and early in the Revolution was carried prisoner to Detroit by a band of Wyandot. He thereupon allied himself with the British cause and later claimed he had gone voluntarily to Detroit. At first the British doubted his fidelity but he lived down the suspicion and became one of the most noted British agents on the frontier. How the Kentuckians regarded him was shown in 1814, when, on the capture of Amherstburg after Perry's victory on Lake Erie, they completely wrecked his house and furniture.

"Of Elliot... I have but an indistinct recollection... [he was a man] of only ordinary size, having nothing remarkable in [his] appearance. Elliot's har was black, his complexion dark, his features small; his nose, I recollect, was short, turning up at the end, his look was haughty and his countenance repulsive."

"which leading to a more general conversation, drew from Elliott many ungentlemanly remarks and disparaging observations about the Americans."

An excellent book has been written about Elliott by Reginald Horsman titled Matthew Elliot, British Indian Agent. Publisher: Wayne University Press, Detroit, 1964.

GIRTY, SIMON (1741-1818) Son of Simon and Mary (Newton) Girty was born 1741, Lancaster Co., PA. He was said to have married about 1779 to a daughter of Cooh-coo-cheeh, a princess of the wolf tribe of the Iroquois Nation. Cooh-coo-cheeh had a grandson who was reputed to be the son of Simon Girty. O.M. Spencer described him as "very sprightly, but withal passionate and willful, a perfectly spoiled child." His mother gave the child the Mohawk name of Ked-zaw-saw, while his grandmother called him Simo-ne. Simon eventually married in Canada about 1782 to a prisoner named Catherine Mallott. Spencer described him this way, "One of the visitors of Blue Jacket (The Snake) was a plain, grave chief of sage appearance; the other Simon Girty, whether it was from prejudice, associating with his look the fact that he was a renegade, the murderer of his own countryman, racking his diabolic invention to inflict new and more excruciating tortures, or not; his dark shaggy hair, his low forehead; his brows contracted and meeting above his short flat nose; his gray sunken eyes, averting the ingenuous gaze; his lips thin and compressed, and the dark and sinister expression of his countenance, to me seemed the very picture of a villain. He wore and Indian costume, but without any ornament; and his silk handkerchief, while it supplied the place of a hat, hid an unsightly wound on his forehead. On each side, in his belt, was tuck a silver-mounted pistol, and at his left hung a short broad dirk, serving occasionally the uses of a knife."

He died February 18, 1818, Essex Co., Ontario, Canada.
