Engelsk karthandlare i början av 1700-talet, bosatt i London. Enligt honom själv handlade han med 'franska och holländska kartor till de fördelaktigaste priserna'. Vidare rekommmenderar han sina alla typer av 'Spectacles, Reading Glasses, Tellescopes, Perspective Glasses' etc. och uppmanar 'all the Artists in the Universe' till att komma till honom. Tooley upplyser torrt att han var lika mycket leksaksfabrikant som karthandlare. Han nämner dock ett antal kartor, samtliga utförda runt 1720.
Död 1696.
Holländsk matematiker. För firman van Keulen (se denne) utarbetade han under 1690-talet ett sjökartverk. 'De nieuwe groote lichtende Zee-Fakkel' som senare kom i flera upplagor. På titelbladet kallar han sig 'Geometra en Leermester der Wiskunst'.

Ellicott, a Quaker, was raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His father was a prosperous miller whose family founded Ellicott City, Maryland in 1775. Andrew Ellicott was trained to be a mathematician and surveyor. He conducted several large surveys with David Rittenhouse, the Philadelphia astronomer, mathematician, and clockmaker. President Washington in 1791 asked Ellicott to survey the bounds of the District of Columbia. The following year Washington asked him to complete L'Enfant's plan for the city. Ellicott made some changes to L'Enfant's plan. He changed the alignment of Massachusetts Avenue, eliminated five short radial avenues, added two short radial avenues southeast and southwest of the Capitol, and named the city streets. In less than one month Ellicott had a plan ready for the engravers. A few months later Ellicott, like L'Enfant, found himself at odds with the Commissioners and resigned from the project.
