The name I have seen in many other places was Andrew Ellicott, not Elliott.
Thank you for the correction. It must have been a typo where I found the information.
Great History of Early Alabama territory. Would love to have a copy of this book. Thanks for posting. Enjoyed the reading and the History.
Maybe Andrew Ellicott was the commissioner.

In Buck’s Al. There is a large stone marking the line, it’s called Ellicott stone.He was from Bucks,PA and I have often wondered if the spot on Hwy 43n was named after him. There’s an Alabama Power Generating plant there and that about it.
What about Eli Whitney ??
They will be after any eli Whitney tributes next.
LOL Whitney just improved on it.
Thanks for sharing
TY!
