    Notes:

    Per the DAR application prepared by Eva Mae Halbert Hackney on July 18, 1973, Jeremiah Ellington was a patriot of the American Revolution. The DAR National Number was 394711. The published authorities cited were Abstracts of Old 96 and Abbeville District, S.C. Wills and Bonds, pages 102 and 103 by Lucas (wills of Dewi & Jeremiah Ellington) and DAR Patriot Index, p. 218. Jeremiah's services in assisting in the establishment of American Independence during the War of Revolution were as follows: Jeremiah Ellington was allowed a claim for furnishing supplies to the Continental Army at a Court held for the County of Amelia, Virginia May 24, 1782. The reference for this were pages 35 to 49 at the Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA Claims on Record at Va. State Library. Eva also lists the children of Jeremiah and Frances Ellington. No reference to support this is given. Furthermore, some of the dates given for the children seem as Frances Jones would be to old to be their mother. In her AMERICAN PIONEERS TREE on Rootsweb World Connect, Vivian Peacock also has a very similar listing of children, with differing dates. She also has two additional children listed. A slightly different list, with yet again differing birthdates, is found on the Freeman's online tree. I have entered the names and dates from the Freeman's tree, but this should be considered simply the starting point for further research.

    The Mormon Ancestral File shows Jeremiah as the son David Ellington and Martha Ann TUCKER of Amelia County, Virginia. Vivian Peacock, on her AMERICAN PIONEERS TREE on Rootsweb World Connect Project, shows Jeremiah instead as the son of David Ellington Sr and Martha Fowlkes. Mark Freeman also shows his mother as Martha FOWLKES.

    The extract of Jeremiah's will, below, is copied from the Rootsweb World Connect Tree of Mark Freeman titled MOSTLY SOUTHERN:
