I was very pleased to run across a picture of my ancestors castle (Allington Castle at Maid Stone England). My family have been able to trace our line back to the Brotherinlaw of William The Conquer who was an ancestor of Sir Thomas Wyatt The Older. Any futher imformation that would help me to dig deeper would be appreciated. I also know that my Grandfather had the opportunity to claim Allington Castle during the Great Depression of the 30's but it was probably for back taxes and at that time few people had any money for such ventures. We hold a family reunion every 2 years in Missouri if anyone would be interested they could contact me.

My grandfather was Roscoe Ellington (William R>??), who was married to Sophia Edna Huff. Roscoe was the son of Mose (or Moses) Ellington. Sophia was the daughter of Hampton Huff & Susie B Campbell....There is supposed to be some sort of Jesse James' Sist r connection, as I am told that Mose Ellington was born to her and a John Ellington. I am also told that there is a relationship between my grandmother (Sophia Edna Huff) and the gang, the Younger Bros. Presumably, Steve Huff married Magnie Brown...They ad son, Hampton Huff. Meanwhile Ellis Campbell married Narcis Younger who is the sister of Cole, Jim, Bob and John Younger. Narcis had a daughter, Susie B Campbell, who married Hampton Huff.. Their children were Hattie, Carl, Rosie B., Minnie and Sophia ( y grandmother)

David Ellington (1742-1820) in his will written 1812, Wilkes Co. GA, says that property is "to be divided equally among all my children except JOHN HENDRICK, DANIEL DUPREE, JOHN BIGGARS, and WILLIAM ELLINGTON, who have each of them already received the am unt of four hundred dollars" and that after the others have received a like amount, they and the others are to share equally. Hendrick is husband of Lucy Ellington and Dupree, husband of Sarah/Sally Ellington. WHO IS JOHN BIGGARS???? IS THIS WHERE THE " " IN JOHN ELLINGTON'S NAME ORIGINATES???? Wilkes Co. Returns 1825-29, 418: No. 13 is to Lewis Lay, agent for JOHN ELLINGTON $200, and No. 14 is to JOHN BIGARS (amount illegible, but 3-digits). Is John Bigars husband of David's daughter, Martha, who earlier researchers say married Amos Watson,and later research show to be daughter of David M. Ellington whose pension application in 1834 names as daughter Mrs. Martha Watson, wife of Amos Watson?

Hi everyone! I'm just beginning to research for our family. My family is from the Faulkier and Stafford County area of Virginia. The Ellingtons in our family had a unique practice of naming their sons after their fathers--James Howard Ellington, then J mes Matthew Ellington and the cycle continues the same. My grandfather,James Matthew Ellington married Cora Hefflin in the early 1900's. I'm looking for information about my great grandparents-James Howard Ellinton and??? My great grandmother was a Pamunkey Indian. I'm looking not only to find out about our Ellington roots, but also learn may great grandmother's name. Any help would be appreciated. I'ld like to meet new relatives too! Thanks, Janet
