Eleanor "Ellender" Sullivan was born c. 1740 in New Jersey, daughter of Edward Sullivan and Eleanor Warden. (Note: Ellender was pronunciation of Eleanor.)

She is believed to have married Richard Green in North Carolina.

In North Carolina, Richard and Ellender became active in the Jersey Settlement Baptist Church.[1] They later withdrew from that congregation and became charter members of Three Forks Baptist Church.[2]

Her husband, Richard, deeded land in Ashe County, North Carolina (later became part of Watauga County) to sons, Richard Jr. & Benjamin, in February 1816.[3] Since Ellender did not sign a dower release, it is likely she was already deceased at that time. Her burial place, like the one of her husband, is unknown, so, of course, there are no images of their grave markers. [4]
