- Wrote poetry and composed 4 Hymns.
In his book "The Scottish Settler Party of 1820", J V L Rennie went to great lengths to trace the family origins of the members of Pringle's party. He first established that Ezra Ridgard was born on 10 June 1790 at Holywell in Flintshire, North Wales, and that his baptism certificate recorded him as being the son of Benjamin Ridgard. On page 202 Rennie dealt with the Elliott/Ridgard connection:
"The fact that Elliott was born in Sheffield and Pringle's statement that he was related to Ezra Ridgard prompted the writer to make enquiries in Sheffield for possible Ridgards there, with positive results. It appears that there was an Ezra Ridgard in Sheffield who in 1787 was recorded as a bookseller and stationer. He died there in 1815, and a note in the local press spoke of "his integrity as a tradesman for half a century". In his will he left, inter alia, six hundred pounds to "Ezra Ridgard son of my late nephew Benjamin Ridgard". There does not appear to be any reason to doubt that this beneficiary and Ezra Ridgard, Benjamin's son, baptised in Holywell and later the 1820 Settler, were one and the same person.
"Family records in South Africa indicate that William Elliott was born in Sheffield on 22 September 1792, the son of Samuel Elliott and his wife Rebecca, but these sources give no further information about his ancestry. The writer has ascertained, however, that Samuel Elliott's wife and the wife of Ezra Ridgard the Sheffield bookseller and stationer were sisters, daughters of a William Parker, a Sheffield cutler who became a master cutler in 1761, and his wife Mary Swinden, daughter of Joseph Swinden of Royd's Mill. The Settlers Ezra Ridgard and William Elliott were thus not related other than through a marriage connection, the former the great-nephew of his namesake the Sheffield bookseller, the latter the nephew of the bookseller's wife".
