Will.m Harris L.S John Norwood L.S. ____________________ ~ JEREMIAH ELLINGTON ~ ________________________ “Jeremiah Ellington” was born in 1737 @ Amelia Co., VA. He died in 1796 @ the Abbeville District, SC. His will was probated on 11-7-1796. ________________________ HIS PARENTS were: "David Ellington, Sr." & "Martha Ann Tucker Ellington".
-----------------------------------
HIS FATHER, "David Sr.", was born in 1713 or 1718 @ Prince George Co., VA. This gets a little tricky as to his death; he "made his will" on 11-5-1773 @ Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co., VA. One account (of ‘many' varying accounts) said he died on 5-11-1774 which was the spring after he made the will in Nov. So, I tend to think he did die on 5-11-1774. He was the son of "John Ellington, Jr. or IV" who arrived in 1712 (according to a NASA biography called "Ellington Field, a Short History") or in 1717 (according to Ancestry.com where a passenger list to Virginia showed a "John Ellington" arriving in 1717 "with father John" stated as 'another' John Ellington. They were listed as "appraiser & surveyor".) David Ellington, Sr.'s mother was "Sarah Sabrina Worsham".

• ** "John Ellington" lent a horse & also provided beef & bacon to The Continental Line during The Revolutionary War said one account. Then this: "Ellington, John: Service: VA Rank: Patriotic Service: Description: 'He rendered material aid.' This was according to Abercrombie & Slatten, VA Rev. Public Claims, Volume 1." *** This goes along with the "family story" that he supplied the soldiers with goods & animals.

-----------------------------------
HIS MOTHER, "Martha Ann Tucker", was born on 8-29-1719 or 9-29-1719 @ Prince George Co., VA. She died on 5-9-1782 @ Lunenburg Co., VA. According to records, she lived with her son, David JR., following her husband's death.
----------------------------------
HIS PARENTS married in 1735. They had 10 Children who all lived to adulthood & prospered...quite a feat in the mid-1700's!
-----------------------------------
"JERMIAH’s SIBLINGS":

• = service during The Rev. War. It seems these Ellington's "gave goods & supplies for the war effort as well as fought" while the 1 son-in-law was a supply agent (Martha's husband) & the other son-in-law "fought in The Rev. War" (Obedience's husband).

--------------------------------
1. Martha (1736--1780); m: Joseph Motley, III in 1750.

• "Martha Ellington Motley" = There are So Many stories about: how she protected the whereabouts of her husband, Capt. Motley, from the Tories; how she would not divulge to the Tories where the supplies were kept for The Rev. War effort; & how she was stabbed & left weak & unconscious by the raiding Tories; & some say she "died for her country". I don't know. She was attempting to recover from the birth of her "11th. child @ age 44" when the Tories attacked her in her bed! The Rev. War ended in 1783; Martha died in 1780. She "could be" a true heroine of The Rev. War!
• "Joseph Motley III" served as a Captain under George Washington during The French & Indian War (1754-1763). He was a "supply agent" for The Continental Army during The Rev. War (hence, the Tories wanting to know where the supplies were stored from Martha).

They petitioned Amelia Co., VA court to gather in the home of George Walton in 1768 to worship. DAVID JR. was a Baptist Minister in 1771 in Amelia Co. VA; he continued that from 1781-1791 in Lunenberg Co., VA. -David married Jane Harrison in Prince Edward Co., VA on 1-6-1790. She was the daughter of William Harrison.

• “David Ellington, Jr.” [Patriotic Service, VA] according to "Soldiers & Patriots of GA" website.

According to: The Patriots @ Cowpens by Bobby G. Moss:

• David Ellington, Jr., stated that he & his nephew, David James Motley (1753-1826), were together in campaigns of The Rev. War & that his nephew was wounded in the leg @ Guilford Courthouse. This nephew was in Howard's Continental line behind Pickens' Militia & ahead of Washington's Cavalry along the Green River Road @ The Battle of Cowpens.
