James,
I believe that your Nancy Ellis was a sister to the Robert Ellis that married first to Nancy Andrews, then subsequently married Martha Ann Philips. Am I right?
If so, can you tell me who, if you know, his second wife's parents were? Were they Joseph D. Philips and Milberry Horn of Nashville, TN? Or if not, who?
I have had the spelling for Martha's last name both ways, with two "Ls" and then sometimes with one "L." Joseph Philips, most definitely spelled it with only one. So I'm anxious to confirm that Robert's second wife, Martha Ann Philips was INDEED the daughter of Joseph Philips.
If I am right, then you will find the grave of ANN ELLIS in the Riverview graveyard next to her daughter Tennessee Stark Williams and Tennessee's husband Dr. Edward Branch Haskins. I assume that she did not use the first name of Martha, but used ANN instead.
My research seems to say that Martha married Robert as her second husband.
Her first husband was John Stark Williamson from which my husband's line eminates. His 2nd great grandmother would be Tennessee Stark Williamson who was the wife of Dr. Edward Branch Haskins, and the daughter of Ann Philips and her first husband John Stark Williamson before she married Mr. Ellis.
Dr. Haskins was from Amelia co., VA born in 1813 but died in 1888 in Clarksville, TN. His wife Tennesee or "Tennie" Stark Williams was the daughter of John Stark Williamson and Martha Ann Philips, the same Martha, but seems to have been called ANN, that is the second wife of Robert Ellis.
I would appreciate anything you might have that verifies or refutes this lineage.
THANKS.
Gerri Williams
