Mark Elledge Descendants
I am researching the possibility that Mark Elledge( son of Abraham, son of Abraham, son of Joseph) may have adopted or acquired children from a relative based on the 1850 census of Franklin County, AL, District 6.I am puzzled by the way the ages of the children count down to 5 and then start over at 11.The 11 year old is my gr-gr-grandmother, Martha Jane. Please reference microfilm Series 432; Roll 5; Page 171B.
Martha's death certificate says that her father's name was Mark "Eldridge" and mother's maiden name was Fanning.The informant was her son Hudson L Hester.If Mark basically raised her, would she then consider him as her father and her own children would not be aware of any other?
If anyone has an insight on this, I would love to hear your ideas.
