Sheet: 332. Family Notes. Information from Bill Allen to Curtis Young in reference to some information I had asked Curtis Young about:
Dated: 15 May 1999
"Hey Cuz, haven't heard from you in a while. I did get some information from Bill Allen and it is listed below. I think this may provide some additional information. Let me know what you think. Call me sometime, Curtis"
Bill Allen's message re-routed to me (message dated 13 May 1999 to Curtis):
Curtis, I did some checking and came up with a theory, plus some info that indicated the theory may be supposed as fact.
1.First, I think Winnie is a dau of James F. "Alphonzo?" Ellis, b. ca 1822 and an alliance with Martha Jane Starnes, b. cir 1835 dau of Ira Starnes and Anna nee McGinty-Starnes-Graves.
2.After Ira Starnes died (or divorced Anna) Anna married William Graves in Carter Co., TN 12 Mar 1837. The couple later moved to Cherokee Co. NC (CCNC), probably in the 1840's.
3.The 1860 CCNC census of William and Anna Graves household reflects; William 50, Anna 48, Jane 25, John 20, Caroline 18, Emeline 16, Matilda 13, William 7, Eliza 5, Jas 6, Phebe 5, Sam 1, Jasper Ellis 7 mos, J. F. (Ellis) 39.
[my question: The question? Why would J.F. Ellis be in the household with a 7 mo old baby?]
My theory is that 16 months earlier J.F. had an alliance with Jane Starnes, dau of Anna from her first marriage to Ira Starnes and 7 month old Jasper, is the son of James F. Ellis and Martha Jane Starnes.
4.James F. Ellis is a son of Allen Ellis and Lourena nee Weeks-Ellis. Lourena was a dau of Benjamin Weeks and Hannah nee Allen-Weeks. Hannah was Allen was a sister to my grsandfather, James Allen.
5.Ten years later (1870) J.F. and Martha Jane are missing from the CCNC census, but an "Alphonzo" Ellis, age 50, is living with Jane Starnes, age 36, just three house from Emaline Graves (half sister to Martha Jane Stanres) and the same Hanging Dog community where William and Anna Graves lived. I think this is James F. Ellis and Martha Jane Starnes, the parents of your Winnie. (I can prove this when I check the complete 1870 census as I only have the parents version and have to check the children when I go to Murphy).
6.The 1880 CCNC census; James F. Ellis 58, Martha J. 44, William Jasper 20, Winnie C 18, Emaline 14, John A. 13, Louise 12.
If this theory proves correct all of the above named children were born prior to their 1871 marriage.
Please check this info with your records and let me know what you think. Do you know where J.F. and Martha Jane lived in 1900?? They had left CCNC by then. The birth, marriage or death cert. of Winnie should prove or disapprove this theory--do you have either??
