SAMUEL E. ALLISON/ELLISON 1820-1903 HUMPHREYS CO., TN
Researching ancestry of Samuel S. Allison/Ellison, b. 1820 AL, parents b. North Carolina.Lived in Benton and Humphreys Co., TN.Earliest record I have is his 1845 marriage to Ivorella Lankford of Stewart Co., TN.Ellison family forum researcher gives his parents as Thomas Moses Ellison b. 1791 and Martha Ann Unk., both born in North Carolina.Thomas Moses Ellison's brothers are given as Robert (b. 1786), John (b. 1787), Jonathan (b. 1789), all b. NC (2 in Rowan County).I find their names (and Moses) in early 1800s Humphreys County Deed/land grant records.
Moses "Andrew" Ellison is given as father of Thomas Moses Ellison. He is stated as b. 1769 d. 1791 NC.Married Jean Simonton Todd, daughter of Robert Simonton, 1786 in Rowan County, NC.Jean Simonton's prior marriage to Thomas Todd 1771, was consented to by her father and a witness on his consent was William Simonton (I found a marriage between Andrew Allison and Jean Todd 1786 as well as her marriage to Todd).Date of birth of "Andrew" is questionable as he would only be 17 at time of marriage.
Samuel S. Allison/Ellison used both spellings of last name.Does anyone have information on this family?
