Below is the will of William Robertson.Maybe you can help me.It concerns Archer/Archibald Ellett.He is an ancestor.But what I am looking for is this.My 3rd great grandfather's name is John Archer Ellett.His parents were William Ellett and Phoebe Rudd.The odd thing is that John was born 40 years after the marriage.I have a copy of John's marriage license which states who his parents are.My cousin found at the ChesterfieldCourthouse today, the following.
Ann P. Ellett married Robert Bass 2 Feb 1818
in Chesterfield daughter of Archer Ellett deceasedWilliam Ellett, grand
John's middle name leads me to believe he may be connected to the above somehow.Any Clues?
