Matthew Ellison

SOURCE: ELIZABETH ELLISON ERWIN FAMILY BIBLE RECORD PRIOR TO 1795

Matthew was named as a brother by Elizabeth Ellison Erwin. He and

his wife Mary were married in 1743. Their five children were also named.

Matthew's death was given as "Friday evening at 2 o'clock, Feb. 21,

1766." This information was taken from a typed copy and this seems to be

a typographical error. The other records seem to indicate the correct

date as 1786.

A few records have been found of Matthew. He and Robert Ellison

were witnesses to the Will of John Matthews. This is just another record

which indicates the closeness of the Ellison and Matthews families. Mary

who is mentioned as a daughter of John Matthews was probably the wife of

this Matthew Ellison.

Matthew lived on Jeffery's Creek in Williamsburg County, SC. This

land was later listed in Marion County when Marion County came into

existence.
