"If anyone would like more information on Andrew Elliot, they might want to check on the following if they have not seen it already: "The Colonial Clergy and Colonial Churches of New England" by Frederick Lewis Weis. I do not have access to a copy to see if he is listed, but it is a well known reference in the genealogy field and might contain useful information.

As a general rule, anyone trying to find information on early coin collectors and dealers should become familiar with the techniques and tools for genealogy research. Finding personal details on obscure individuals who lived 100 to 350 years ago can be challenging, but the same approaches are necessary regardless of whether the person was a coin collector or an ancestor (or perhaps both!). In reading about early collectors and dealers, I have frequently noticed that genealogical techniques and resources would either be useful, or have already been used."
