He deserted in 1862, he is shown as a widow in 1870, which
tells me that he got word his wife was ill, they still had small children. He was never found according to the
military. I think he went home, and took
care of his family.

There’s a story I found that could be Elizabeth’s father or
brother or some relation. I will retell
it here so you have the clues if you wish to follow it more.
John L. Elliott,
Alias Isaac Lowe
by Mrs. Dayton Royse
by Mrs. Dayton Royse
In the biographical sketches which I have consulted, I found no mention of this; yet his use of this name seemed to be known by many residents of Eastern Kentucky who had lived previously in Southwest Virginia.
According to his own statements, John L. Elliott was born 30 September, 1794 (1850 census of Carter Co., KY, District 1, No. 520, gives his birthplace as Kentucky); he left Kentucky as a boy at which time his father lived in Bath Co., KY; went to Russell Co., VA and "changed his name to Isaac Lowe to avoid being found."
There was a John Elliott who bought 100 acres 7 January, 1808 in Russell County on waters of Clinch River, which he and wife Mary sold 6 February 1810.
They bought 40 acres 1 February, 1814 on Copper Ridge, Russell County, which they sold in 1818; there is no apparent connection with John L. Elliott, alias Isaac Lowe; however, this may be the John Elliott charged with murder in 1816 in Russell County, dismissed because of extenuating circumstances.
The author of an article on the assassination of Judge Elliott, in which he stated that the Judge's father once killed a man, may have been mislead by this event.
In Russell County Court Minutes, Book 4, page 421, there is a reference, 3 November, 1812, to Isaac Lowe, Samuel Ritchie, Jr., James Cook, and John Dunkin, all previously placed under a good behavior bond, which was extended six months for Isaac Lowe and Samuel Ritchie, Jr. About this time Isaac Lowe must have married Jane Ritchie, born 24 February, 1795 in Prince Edward County, VA, as census records indicate their first child was born 1812.
On 13 September, 1813, under the name of Isaac Lowe, John L. Elliott entered service in the War of 1812 at Dickensonville, Russell County. He was appointed a 4th corporal, but due to an injury he received while erecting barracks at Norfolk, he was unable to perform military duty and was discharged 12 March 1814.
Scott County, VA was created in 1814 from parts of Russell County, Lee County, and Washington County.
On 17 February, 1815, Isaac Lowe was recommended as a Lieutenant in the Third Company of the county militia, and on 29 July 1816, Isaac Lowe of Scott County bought from John Alley and wife Mary of Franklin County, Indiana Territory, for $360, 240 acres on south side of Clinch.
Isaac Lowe (Low, Loe) was on the personal property tax lists of Scott County 1815 through 1822.
The lengthy will of Samuel Ritchie who died about 1819 in Scott County named as a legatee Jane Lowe, formerly Jane Ritchie, daughter of friend Frances Kendrick (Kindrick); and the 1820 census of Scott County listed Isaac Lowe: one male and one female, 16 to 26, and four males under 10.
When Morgan County, KY was organized in 1823, John Elliott was taxed for 200 acres on North Fork of Licking.
In Morgan County Court, 10 January 1825, on the motion of Peter Amyx, surveyor of Morgan County, John L. Elliott and William Lewis were qualified as his deputies.
In 1829 John L. Elliott was taxed for 400 acres on North Fork, 1,430 acres on Sandy, and 200 acres on Grassy; his acreage continued to increase in ensuing years. He was listed in the census of Morgan County in 1830 and of Carter County in 1840 and 1850, and died in October 1855 soon after the rejection of his application for a pension (not for bounty land) because of the disability incurred during his service in the War of 1812.
Descendants of John L. Elliott say that he was a son of James S. Elliott (1770-1857) and his first wife, Hannah Scott, residents of Floyd County, KY (Morgan County area) before August 1809. If this is true, how was John L. Elliott related to Ephraim Blaine Elliott, born 1774 in Pennsylvania, who was taxed 1810 in Montgomery County, KY, "set off" 1811 to Bath County and taxed there until 1820, listed alone in 1820 census of Floyd County, over 45, taxed 1823 Morgan County and living 1830, 1840, and 1850 with the John L. Elliott family?
A son of John L. Elliott was named for him. The only family date which I found regarding the older Ephraim B. Elliott was his consent, 22 December 1817, in Bath County for the marriage of his step-daughter, Polly Fitzjarrel, to Robert Warren.

Unisiah's sister. Reuben and his family migrated into Kentucky with Masias's
clan.
Masias moved his family through Green County, Tennessee, toward Harlan County, Kentucky, around 1800. As Masias was moving his family to Kentucky, his horse threw and injured him. The family stayed on the Nolichucky River in Green County, Tennessee for a year before moving on.
According to Pearl Hall, a descendant residing in the neighborhood wher e Masias put down his Kentucky roots, Masias and "Eunice" settled first in West Virginia, but then came back to Kentucky to settle on Long Fork of Shelby Creek, in Floyd (later part of Pike) County.

Floyd, Kentucky, United States
Court Submitted an affidavit on
behalf of a Revolutionary War pension application of Capt. Henry Connelly Misc.
1833 (Mr Hall was not 65 in 1833, however, the pension requests were began in
1833, and the law that this fell under were backdated until then. As a result, if the actual affidavit is not
found with the proper date, I am assuming it was done by 1840 when he was 65
years old. )
· the text of the affidavit, as
reported by William E. Connelly, is as follows:
"Kentucky, to wit.
The statement of Mesias Hall, aged sixty-five years, who upon his oath, states that he is a native of the State of North Carolina, Wilkes County. That he recollects many of the events at the close of the Revolution. That he lived and was raised a near neighbor to Captain Henry Connelly, Sr. that he always understood from all persons that he served in the North Carolina State troops in that capacity in which he has stated. That he never was doubted by any person. He thinks one of his brothers- in-law served under him in the Revolution, who is long since dead.
(Signed) Mesias Hall

One story regarding his death is as follows:
Masias's son, Esquire (Squire), was a Union Cavalry soldier during the Civil War. Squire built such a reputation for daring exploits that he was called "Devil Squire". Legend has it that a group of Confederate soldiers went looking for Devil Squire at his father's farm. They found his 86 year old father and tried to force him to tell them were Devil Squire could be found. When Masias refused, the rebel soldiers hanged him. Source: dlguerry originally submitted this to Music-Guerry Family Tree on 3 May 2010
I have looked at this story and it seems there are many Hall researcher that claim this person. The various basically tell the same story, I have seen an 1850 Census where an Alexander Hall was father of Squire Hall. I have not seen him connected to Isom Hall, and have to look further into where he belongs in this family. At first when I saw this, I know the Hatfield and McCoys have a Devil Anse, which is from a tad north of where these families live. They may have crossed paths as the distance isn't far. More research is necessary to see if this legend of Devil Squire and Masias were related and if this is the reason Masias was hanged by the Confederates.

(Note: if Mesias was
born in 1775 and was hanged at age 86, he would have died in about 1861) The
official dates for the Civil were from April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865 (last

This line that follows from here, is what I believe to be
correct on Jesse Hall. I have studied
the records and it seems that there are several may be 4 Jesse Halls, and some
people have combined their records together.
Because of the locale of Mesias Hall, the Jesse Hall that was in
Rutherford Co., NC I have followed him as I can prove him, however I cannot put
Mesias with him without more proof.
If Mesas would have stayed in VA, then I would link him with
the Jesse Hall that’s in Montgomery Co., VA. However, that Jesse never went to NC, or SC
for that matter. The Halls in that
region may have made their way into KY where Mesias was. Also Jesse had a 1st wife, and I
am not so sure the woman that others have linked with him to be Mesias mother is
correct, she is not proven I don’t know where she came from. There was a Miss Wilbur that some linked
with Jesse, again can’t prove her either.
I can prove the 2nd wife Hannah Kelly. If Mesias birthday was around their marriage
I could say she was his mother, but his mother died before 1784, and from the
sounds of Jesse Halls Revolutionary War record, he sounded to be a single man
with no dependents. This could be wrong,
not sure.

Jesse Hall SR., was born in the year 1755, in Pittsylvania
County, Virginia. And he died in April 1833, in Oconee County, South
Carolina. At the age of 78 years.
He was residing in Wilkes County, North Carolina, when he enlisted in the Army about two months before the Declaration of Independence, as a Private in Captain John Baptiste Ashe's Company, with Colonel Archibald Lytle's Regiment. He was taken prisoner at the fall of Charleston, on 12 May 1780. Afterwards he was paroled and returned home. Finding Wilkes County, in a very unsettled state, he returned to Pickens District (now Greenville County) South Carolina, and joined Captain Sam Taylor's Company. He was subsequently transferred to, and served in, Captain Alexander Brevard's Company for 12 months, until the 9th of May 1782. He was in the

On
May 23, the British under Lt. Col. John Maitland had established their
defenses at Stono Ferry, located on the Stono River. The British troops were
camped on one side with a detachment of Hessians camped on the other side. A
British galley was anchored in the river to provide covering fire for the
Hessians.
The
British rear guard force was attacked by Patriot forces under the command of
Maj. Gen. Benjamin Lincoln on June 20th. The battle lasted for about one hour
and the Patriots had taken the British redoubts. Most of the British and
Hessian troops were falling back and had taken many causalities and the
patriots were on the verge of victory when fresh British reinforcements came
up. Gen. Lincoln realizing that his men were running short on ammunition fell
back. A British pursuit force was cut off by the quick action of BG Pulaski
and his cavalry force, which stopped the British.
As
the Patriots attacked the Hessian camp they immediately came under fire from
the galley. The Patriots opened fire on the ship and forced it to withdraw
from the fight. Being on the high ground, the Patriots overshot the Hessians
when they opened fire on them. The British had gathered all the boats they
could, and crossed over the river to reinforce the Hessians. The British
troops charged after the Patriots.
Unknown
to the British, the South Carolina Navy schooner Rattlesnake had come down
the river. It began to fire into the rear of the British and Hessain forces.
They both turned from the Patriot force and fired upon theRattlesnake.
The Rattlesnake fired back at them, and repulsed the attack
with heavy losses.

The British launched its Southern strategy by
beginning a siege of Charlestown, South Carolina on March 28th. The siege
lasted until May 9th when British artillery fire was close enough to set the
town on fire and force a surrender on May 12th. A perception continued among
the British that the South was full of Loyalists just awaiting the call from
the British.
At the end of December 1779, General Henry
Clinton succumbed to this view and headed south with a small army. His goal was
to capture Charlestown, South Carolina - now that Savannah had been
successfully taken by the British. Clinton approached steadily, arriving
opposite Charlestown on April 1. He then began a classic European siege. The British
dug siege trenches ever closer to the wall of the city. Day by day, week by
week, the British got ever closer to the wall of the city.
In the meantime, both sides exchanged artillery
fire, the Americans trying to make the British task as difficult as possible,
while the British hoped to terrify the Americans into submission. By the
beginning of May, the British had advanced within a few feet of the American
lines. Their artillery fire was soon becoming deadly and on May 9th many of the
wooden houses in Charlestown were set on fire by the artillery fire.
The city elders had enough and requested that
the American commander Major General Benjamin Lincoln surrender, which he did.
The British victory in Charlestown was pyrrhic. There was no popular uprising and
instead South Carolina degenerated into a period of chaos with guerilla-style
combat in the outlying areas.
The Battle of Charleston was
one of the major battles which took place towards the end of the American Revolutionary War, after the British began to shift their strategic focus
towards the American Southern Colonies. After
about six weeks of siege, Continental Army Major
General Benjamin
Lincoln surrendered forces numbering about 5,000 to the British.
The British captured more than 5,500 Patriots
and themselves lost about 250 killed and wounded. Carelessness caused a massive
explosion of 180 barrels of captured powder and somewhat marred the victory.
Neither Clinton nor the American commander, Major General Benjamin Lincoln,
displayed any inspiring leadership. When Clinton learned of an impending French
expedition, he determined that he should be in New York, and Lt. General
Charles, Lord Cornwallis assumed command of British forces in the South.
Lincoln was sent to Philadelphia on parole.
In late 1779, following strategic failures
earlier in the war, the British were stymied by the waiting strategy adopted
by General George Washington leading
the Continental Army. Under political pressure to deliver victory, British
leaders turned to launching their strategy “for winning the war, that built
on the idea that there was strong Loyalist sentiment supporting the southern
colonies. Their opening move was the Capture
of Savannah, Georgia in
December 1778. After repulsing a siege and assault on
Savannah by a combined Franco-American force in October 1779, the
British planned an attack on Carolina which they intended to use as a base
for further operations in the north.
The British government instructed Sir Henry Clinton to
head a combined military and naval expedition southward. He evacuated Newport,
Rhode Island, on October 25, 1779, and left New in command of Hessian General Wilhelm
von Knyphausen. In December, he sailed with 8,500 troops to join Colonel Mark Prevost at
Savannah. Cornwallis accompanied him, and later Lord Rawdon joined
him with an additional force, raising the size of the expedition to around
14,000 troops and 90 ships. Marching upon Charleston via James Island, Clinton cut off the city
from relief, and began a siege on April 1. Skirmishes at Monck's Corner and Lenud's
Ferry in April and early May scattered troops on the outskirts of
the siege area. Benjamin Lincoln held
a council of war, and was advised by de Laumoy to
surrender given the inadequate fortifications.[2][3] Clinton
compelled Lincoln to surrender on May 12.[4]The loss
of the city and its 5,000 troops was a serious blow to the American cause. It
was the largest surrender of an American armed force until the 1862 surrender
of Union forces at Harper’s during the Antietam Campaign. The
last remaining Continental Army troops were driven from South Carolina
consequent to the May 29 Battle of Waxhaw’s. General
Clinton returned to New York City in June, leaving Cornwallis in command with
instructions to also reduce North Carolina.
Resistance continued in the Carolina Back country beginning that summer.
Militias were led by former Continental officers like Francis Marion, who had
been home on medical leave during the siege, and was one of the last regular
American officers in the state to lead effective resistance. Prisoners of the
siege of Charleston were kept in multiple locations including prison ships, the
old barracks where the College
of Charleston is today, and the Old Exchange
and Provost "Dungeon."
On April 2nd, siege works were begun about 800 yards from the
American fortifications. During the first few days of the siege, the British
operations were under heavy artillery fire. On April 4th, they built redoubts
near the Ashley and Cooper Rivers to protect their flanks. On April 6th, a
warship was hauled overland from the Ashley River to the Cooper River to harass
crossings by the besieged to the mainland. On April 8th, the British fleet
moved into the Harbor under fire only from Fort Moultrie.
On April 12th, Gen. Henry Clinton ordered Lt.
Col. Banastre Tarleton and Major Patrick Ferguson to capture Moncks
Corner, which was a crossroads just south of Biggins Bridge near the
Santee River. SC Brig. Gen. Isaac Huger was stationed there with 500 men under
orders from Maj. Gen. Benjamin Lincoln to hold the crossroads so that
communications with Charlestown would remain open. On the evening of April 13,
1780, Lt. Col. Tarleton gave orders for a silent march. Later that night, they
intercepted a messenger with a letter from Brig. Gen. Isaac Huger to Maj. Gen.
Benjamin Lincoln and thus learned how the rebels were deployed. At three
o'clock in the morning on the 14th, the British reached the American post,
catching them completely by surprise and quickly routing them. Following the
skirmish, the British fanned out across the countryside and effectively cut off
Charlestown from outside support.
South Carolina Governor John Rutledge left
Charlestown on April 13th (some sources say he didn't leave until May 10th). On
the 21st, a parlay was made between Lincoln and Clinton, with Lincoln offering
to surrender with honor. That is, with colors flying and marching out fully
armed, but Clinton was sure of his position and quickly refused the terms. A
heavy artillery exchange followed. On April 23rd, Lt. Gen. Charles, Lord
Cornwallis crossed the Cooper River and assumed command of the British forces
blocking escape by land. Finally on April 24th, the Americans ventured out to
harass the siege works. The lone American casualty was Tom Moultrie, brother of
Brig. Gen. William Moultrie. On April 29th, the British advanced on the left
end of the canal that fronted the city's fortifications with the purpose of destroying
the dam and draining the canal.
The Americans knew the importance of that canal
to the city's defenses and responded with steady and fierce artillery and small
arms fire. By the following night, the British had succeeded in draining some
water. By May 4th, several casualties had been sustained and the fire had been
so heavy that work was often suspended. On the 5th, the Americans made a
countermove from their side, but by the 6th, almost all of the water had
drained out of the heavily damaged dam and plans for an assault began.
On that same day, May 6th, Fort Moultrie surrendered.
On May 8th, Gen. Clinton called for unconditional surrender from Maj. Gen.
Lincoln, but Lincoln again tried to negotiate for honors of war. On May 11th,
the British fired red-hot shot that burned several homes before Lincoln finally
called for parlay and to negotiate terms for surrender. The final terms
dictated that the entire Continental force captured were prisoners of war. On
May 12th, the actual surrender took place with Maj. Gen. Lincoln leading a
ragged bunch of soldiers out of the city.
When word reached the backcountry, Brig. Gen.
Andrew Williamson and Col. Andrew Pickens at Ninety-Six and Col. Joseph Kershaw
at Camden, all surrendered themselves to the British. Williamson and Pickens
were given parole, but Kershaw was seized and later taken to Honduras.
The British captured 311 artillery pieces, 9,178
artillery rounds, 5,916 muskets, 33,000 rounds of small arms ammunition, 212
hand grenades, 15 Regimental Colors, 49 ships, and 120 boats, plus 376 barrels
of flour and large magazines of rum, rice, and indigo in the surrender of
Charlestown.
The captured Patriot muskets were brought to the
powder magazine inside the city. A Hessian officer warned that some of the
muskets may be loaded, but he was ignored. One went off and 180 barrels of
powder exploded. Almost immediately, an estimated 5,000 muskets in the magazine
discharged simultaneously. About 200 people were killed and six houses were
destroyed, including a poorhouse and a brothel. Thirty British soldiers,
including Capt. Collins and Lt. Gorder of the Royal Artillery and Lt. Alexander
McLeod of the 42nd Regiment were killed in the blast. A Hessian artillery
officer was also killed.
The senior officers including Maj. Gen. Benjamin
Lincoln were eventually exchanged for British officers in American hands. For
all others in the Continental army, a long stay on prison boats in Charlestown
Harbor was the result, where sickness and disease would ravage them. The defeat
left no Continental Army in the South and the country wide open for British
taking. Even before Lincoln surrendered, the Continental Congress had already
appointed Maj. Gen. Horatio Gates to replace him and Gates was soon marching
southward.
The British quickly established outposts in a
semicircle from Georgetown to Augusta, Georgia, with positions at Camden,
Ninety-Six, Cheraw, Rocky Mount, and Hanging Rock in between. Parole was
offered to backcountry Patriots and many accepted. Soon after securing
Charlestown, General Henry Clinton gave command of the Southern Theatre to Lt.
Gen. Charles, Lord Cornwallis and on June 5th, Clinton sailed north back to New
York.
General Clinton's one order to Lt. Gen.
Cornwallis before he left, was to maintain possession of Charlestown above all
else. Cornwallis was not to move into North Carolina if it would jeopardize
this holding. Clinton also had ordered that all militia and civilians be
released from their parole. But in addition, they must take an oath to the
Crown and be at ready to serve when called upon by His Majesty's government.
This addition angered many of the locals and led to many deserting or ignoring
the order and terms of their parole.
Charlestown was now "pacified" by the
British. It would be over one year before many Patriots would venture into what
is now Charlestown County to irritate the British forces that had complete
control of the town and surrounding area. With such a presence in and around
the Charlestown area, the armed conflict remained elsewhere, and the locals
remained quite passive under British rule, which was not all that onerous. With
its great port facilities, the British could readily resupply its commanders in
the field from Charlestown - but, the outlying sections of the State were
quickly becoming not all that friendly to the wagon trains heading out of town.
Over the next year and a half, the Patriots
turned the tide and brought the fight back to the British in Charlestown. With
the tide turning all over the thirteen colonies, the British finally realized
that the colonies were lost, and even the fighting in and around Charlestown
subsided. As expected, Charlestown was the last location to be surrendered in
South Carolina and the British left quietly on December 14, 1782. The surviving
Patriots entered right behind them, and began building a new nation.
