Joe, I, too, am researching the Ensley family of NC.
My aunt, Louise Davis, married Richard Howard Ensley, who was the son of Dewey Ensley & Ester Colwell (Coldwell).Dewey was the son of Curtis (Calvin or Columbus) Ensley of NC, and Mattie Irlan Bryson of NC.
You may know that the Ensley's of NC were a huge family and were descended from Solomon Ansley of England (whose father, John Angley, was supposedly of the Annesley family in Nottinghamshire).There is a lot of confusion over several generations as there were so many children of all of Curtis Ensley's ancestors and with the same names.
However, from what I have learned from my Aunt I offer the following info:
Curtis (Calvin or Columbus) Ensley (b 1866 in Scotts Creek, NC, d 1943 in Lewis Co., WA) married Mattie Irlan Bryson in 1893.She was b 1874 NC, d 1928 NC.Curtis was the son of William M Ensley & Lucretia Belle Parris - I hope this matches with what you have.Mattie Bryson was of Cherokee descent in NC.
Curtis & Mattie's children were (I do not have a lot of info on birth dates & places):
Burt Dewitt Ensley
Donald Leonard Ensley
Gertrude Mae Ensley
Iva Ensley
Ula Ensley (these two names could be the same person)
Dewey Richmond Ensley*
Connelly Curtis Ensley, b 1916 TX
*Dewey Richmond Ensley was b 1898 in Little Rock, AR and d 1971 in Lakeland, FL.In 1925 in MD, he married Ester Corrinne Colwell (or Coldwell), who was b 1900 in Hagerstown, MD & died in Chehalis, Lewis Co, WA (date unknown)It seems Dewey was raised in Baltimore, MD, and later resided in Chehalis, WA.He was also in the Army (Pvt 1st class) during WWI.
Children of Dewey & Ester were:
Mattie Rose Ensley, b 1919 in Baltimore, MD
Richard Howard Ensley*, b 1922 in Chehalis?, WA, and
died in 1989 in Silver Spring, MD
Mildred Louise Ensley, b 1927 in Onalaska?, WA and
married a man named Thomas (first name unknown)
Robert Morris Ensley, b 1923 in Onalaska?, WA, and
married twice: 1) Elenora (surname unk), 2) Dorothy
(surname unk)
Robert had two sons:Robert and Todd
Albert Ensley, b 1923/24 in Onalaska?, WA
(not sure if Onalaska is the correct city)
*I have all the information on Richard & Louise Ensley's children (they are my first cousins).
I hope what I have matches your information or is of some help to you.I would be happy to hear back from you, especially if some of my assumptions are incorrect.
