Re: MANNINGS of Wayne County, GA

I may throw a wrinkle into this.I'm looking for an Ella Gregory's parents.What I know about Ella is birth and death (1/29/1875 - 11/15/1974), and that she married William Riley Gillihan and lived in Athena, Izard, Arkansas in 1920 (they're in the census there with six children).Ella and her parents are all from Georgia.One of Ella's daughters (still living) claims that Ella's parents were William Porter Gregory and Cathy Champion.There's an 1880 census that shows a William P Gregory married to a Keziah, and shows a daughter Ella, aged 5, which is correct for the Ella I'm looking for.On this census, the Gregory's live with Mage and Betsy MANNING, who are listed as in-laws, suggesting that Keziah's maiden name is also Manning.Can you help clear this up?Is this the same family I'm looking for, and Champion was a middle name instead of last?
