Currently in the United Kingdom Elliott to Ellwood is about 18 to 1.

 

Within a Y-DNA grouping referred to as the Daniel Group (my Y-DNA is the Elliott which is boxed), the number of Elliott to Ellwood is 12 to 1. Giving Ellwood a greater but not mathematically significant influence. This shows though a Y-DNA correlation between my Y-DNA grouping referred to as the Daniel Group, to the Ellwood Y-DNA of Cumbria, United Kingdom.

 

It is felt that Ellwood, of Cumbria is evolve from Elwald-Elwold-Elwoud-Ellwood, where Ellwood retain meaning and means ell woods or a measured forest lot, like ell lot in Scotland meant.

Taking a lot at 1891 distribution for Scotland and England we find;

 

One can see that the Ellwood mainly of England in 1891, and of the Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria region.

 

 

Though not by percent the above shows strong Lancashire-Yorkshire Ellwood placement.

Croyland;

Stag head on sceat/coin of St/King Elfwald minted in York like sheild of Ellwood from Yorkshire;

 

Density of Ellwood near Croyland, Lincoln County, is felt to migrate towards border, where on Scottish side name Elwald evolved to Ellot.

Note;

Ellwood crest has similarities to the Kerr/Wm of Horesleyhill crests (inserted 3/28/2014).

 

The above shows distribution by percent for the Ellwood. It is felt Elwold is low German, and Elwald is German meaning of the wood(s).  The Dutch-German distribution would help to verify this concept.

The migration of the Elwald-Elwold-Elwould to Ellwood, is similar to the Elwald migration accept they basically are not found in Scotland, and have a high probability of being from Cumbria.

York maps with Wold and Would;

 

In Blaeu 1650  map instead of Wold it is Would, found in Elwold, and Elwould common to Cumbria as seen in;

 

North of the Scottish Border the name was Elwald. The Y-DNA was cut-off  by the Scottish Border, and others of different Y-DNA adopted the surname Elwald, and this is why it can be said that this is the origins of the Elwald-Ellot-Elliot Clan.

Migration from Saxony given Y-DNA;

 

 

above provided by RP Elliott

 

Likely region of migration of most likely Germany above;

Location of Johannes Rucker could be indicative of a Saxony origin.

 

Note; Elch/Elg (moose) gets along with the Ber/Bär (bear) but not the wolf.

 

 

The Berwald (bear of the forest), and the Elchwald (moose of the forest) seem to come from a near locality in Saxony.

 

 

It is felt that these people are Angle;

 

 

 

 

It was said some of the Liddesdale Elwald are Borne-Heede (borne near Heede).

THE Y-DNA FINGERPRINT

Want to dedicate the term  Y-DNA Fingerprint, to James V. Elliott as given above was the first to identify the locality.  MSE   12/04/2013

 

Want to thank Robert P. Elliott call my brother german because we share the same Y-DNA, and referred to as the Daniel Group of Elliott.

 

Given the Traitors/Thieves of Leven, we find the Armstong, Scot, Ker, Rutherford, and Burnes. The Dixon (of Nixon), were known to be of region.

Mark Elliott              12/3/2013

 

Gives two localities in the United Kingdom, in which my Y-DNA can be located.

1. de (of) Y-DNA is given by 12-marker exact matches on the Y-DNA, to other surnames, and using the mapping localities of these surnames, gave a distribution one would only hit if lightning (leven) struck.

Using geographic surname correlation extra

2. Y-DNA fingerprint is based on a grouping first identified by James V. Elliott, maintain the Y-DNA for Clan Elliot, and by information provided by Robert P. Elliott ( “brother german”; one who shares my Y-DNA).  Plus the locations of the Dixon (Nixon), Armstrong, Scott, Kerr, Rutherford, and Elwald/Ellot being of the given  Y-DNA fingerprint at a given time ca fifteenth century.

It should be noted; that after the Y-DNA progress to Northern Northumbria, and place a Y-DNA fingerprint it was cut off from its origins of the de (of) Y-DNA by placement of the Scottish-English, border making the Y-DNA of the new (in 1320) nation of Scotland over time more prevalent. This gives reason to the results James V. Elliott found on the origins in the Y-DNA fingerprint region, and for the most part this is felt where the greater body of Ellot/Elliot Y-DNA originated. Where the Daniel Group (my Y-DNA) verily squeaked across before border placement (the raising of the draw bridge) bringing the Elwald surname, and forenames of John, William, and Robert with them.

Additional mapping;

Given likely region of the name Elchwald/Elgwald/Elfwald/Elwald(e) originated.

 

Shows Scandinavian name localities, which support the migration of my Y-DNA.
