Per L&M Companion:
The Captain Thomas Elliott, incorrectly referenced to at vii 142, 143 [June 3rd. 1666], as captain of the ‘Portland’ (which was in fact commanded by Richard Haddock) must have been Thomas Elliott of the ‘Revenge,’ who was well known to both Coventry and Pepys. In 1669 his interest as a baliff of Aldeburgh was engaged on Pepys’s behalf in a parliamentary bye-election to no avail. He served in the Third Dutch War and had died by 1688. ‘Very stout but given to plunder’, (Coventry).
