This is dedicated to the fathers;
Ellot of Horseliehill/Horseleyhill
Gilbert of the Horseleyhill/Stobs/Redheugh;
The Border Elliots and the Family of Minto-George Francis Scott Elliot 1897
It should be noted on the seal the name is Ellot, and spelled Ellet.
Shield a band with a wand a Scottish ell in length an elwand like Robert Elwand(which the Elwald were referred to) of Redheugh.
William of Horsleyhill, name became the preferred Ellot/Ellet/Elliot name of the early Ulster Plantation;
It should be noted that Braidley, and Schaw near the Hermitage Castle is part of the John/Joan Wake, Saxons of Cottingham East Yorkshire, and Liddel land of Northumbria which became Scottish land of the Douglas, of the Barony of Cavers (ca 1320).
The Ellot of Scotland listed in the 1630 Ulster Rolls;

It should be noted that the one Gilbert is listed in the English, Ulster community of Londonderry in north Ulster, not near the border of Ulster, such as Fermanagh.
One can see a lot of Ulster Ellot became Elliott.
Arthur Eliott shows the insertion of the “i” into Ellot to make Elliot;
Should be noted, that Andrew Elwald/Ellot is the older brother to Gavin Ellot who acquired Stobs after Andrew’s death, the Gavin Ellot who was stepfather to Gilbert Ellot, so Andrew Elwald/Ellot is Gilbert Ellot’s step-uncle. Relation is referred to as cousin or brother german.
At the time 1484-1497 Robert of Redheugh was infeft, (became a land holder), there was William Elwald who had land of Goranberry. Land of Lariston in (larostanys in Lyddalisdale), was past to a William Elwald likely the one present with brothers Robert, William, John, Andrew and Ninian.
William of Horseleyhill is felt to be the older brother by a different mother to Gavin of Stobs step-father through marriage to a Scot(t) to Gilbert, born first of a Robert of Redheugh the clan chief. It is felt that William of Horsleyhill is considered of Lariston (Goranberry), and Gilbert is of Redheugh.
The William Horseleyhill/Lariston tutored the line of the chief, first Gilbert then Gilbert’s oldest heir William Eliott. History lists William as the father so they put Gilbert as of Lariston, but Arthur Eliott refers to Gilbert of Redheugh, like the seal shows, and it is felt the error is from William being the step-father, and a Robert of Redheugh being the father.
By looking at the forenames to the Ellot on the 1630 Ulster muster, and comparing to the shared names of Stobs, and the names when Robert became infeft with Redheugh on can see these names are of the Border Ellot.
There were a couple of English names from Wm de Aylot (Norman France), names;
Daniel Elliot on the Salem testimony of 1692 was;
Distribution of Elliot in Scotland in 1891;
One can see above they are mainly in Cumberland (Kirkandrews), and Liddesdale.
In England on can see they are mainly in the locality of Northumbria, and Cumbria;
If one takes a look at a later distribution;
One can see to Breton (France) the Norman, St German (Port Elliot of Wm de Alyot) is close, and to East Riding, Yorkshire, Denmark (German/Scandinavian) is close.

It is felt that the Armstrong and the Ellot considered themselves of the same family, and if one of the group was to bleed, then both groups would bleed.
The “i” wasn’t introduced until sometime in the 17th century.

Dear Mark, it pains me to say this, but you are really barking up the wrong tree with this Elk Wood idea. Where Elliot derives from the Old English name Aelfweald or Aethelweald, the -weald element is NOT the “wood” term that gave Wold and Weald in modern English place-names. It is rather a word meaning “rule” or “govern”, which is connected to the modern word WIELD, as in “to wield power”. It’s the same element seen in Oswald and Ronald. Likewise the El- part has nothing to do with deer.
