Thanks, David.I have all those records plus quite a bit more on Charles and Emma's children.Mainly I am interested in finding out who William H. Ellard was and how he connected to Alabama Ellards.On the 1880 census you mentioned, it states both William H. and Martha are single and that each is a step child of Garrett.Also Nancy Garrett, daughter of Robert and Sarah-on her death record it is stated that her mother was an Ellard.Evidently whoever gave the information did not know she was a Holt before she married Ellard and then Garrett.I have found a Frank Ellard in Santa Rosa Co. but he was married to a Harriett.Also a Francis Ellard served in the CSA from Santa Rosa Co., but neither connects definitely to William H.What we need is marriage records from Florida that give both male and female names, then perhaps we could make some progress in putting the rest of this puzzle together.Evidently William H. was married during the 20 year period between 1880 and 1900 and he and his wife do not appear on the census.Lots of questions yet to answer.
