Martha Ann Tucker Parents: Robert Tucker (1677 - 1750) Martha Epes Tucker (1695 - 1766) Spouse: David Ellington (1715 - 1774) Children: Martha Ellington Motley (1736 - 1780) Jeremiah Ellington (1737 - 1796) David Ellington (1741 - 1820) ~~ MARTHA ANN TUCKER ELLINGTON ~~ __________________________________________________ "Martha Ann Tucker" was born on 8-29-1719 or 9-29-1719 in Prince George Co., VA. She was baptized on 10-9-1720 according to Bristol Parish Register, VA where the family emphasized "ANN" in her baptismal name. She was born to "Robert Tucker, Jr. & Martha Epes Tucker". Martha Ann died on 5-9-1782 @ Lunenburg Co., VA. ______________________________________________ Martha Ann's FATHER: "Robert Tucker, Jr." was born in 1676 in Charles City Co., VA. He died in 1750 @ Amelia Co., VA. He made his will on 9-26-1744 which was probated on 5-18-1750. ------------------------------- Martha Ann's MOTHER: "Martha Epes Tucker" was born about 1695 in Charles City Co., VA. She died in 1766 in Amelia Co., VA. ------------------------------- Martha Ann's PARENTS married on 5-8-1712. Martha Epes was Robert's 2nd. wife. Their 4 CHILDREN who were all born @ Prince George Co., VA were: ~ MARTHA ANN TUCKER (b: 8-29-1719 or 9-29-1719; d: 5-9-1782); ~ Joseph Tucker (b: 6-22-1722; d: 1798); ~ Daniel Tucker (b: Jan. 1724); ~ Sarah (Sally) Tucker (b: 5-10-1725; d: 1783). ______________________________________________ "Martha Ann Tucker's FATHER's LINEAGE: (Please Note: This is a particularly tedious research to do because this Tucker family named most of their children "John, Robert, Daniel, William, & Sarah (Sally)" which complicated the search for Martha Ann's father's direct line! There were "multiple" generations of brothers who did this!) --------------------------------------------------- ~~ Her GRANDFATHER = "Robert Tucker, Sr.". He was born & died @ Charles City Co., VA; he was born in 1652 & died in 1704. ~He married "Elizabeth Coleman" in 1676. ~They had 4 Children @ Charles City Co., VA: Robert Jr., Daniel, Joseph, & William. ---------------------------------------------------- ~~ Her FATHER: "Robert Tucker, Jr. (Captain)". He was born @ Charles City Co., VA in 1676; he died in 1750 @ Amelia Co., VA. (He first married Elizabeth Parham & had 5 children with her.) ~ Following Elizabeth?s death, he then married "Martha Epes" on 5-8-1712. Martha was 19 when she married; he was a generation older than she. (Frances Epes III?s land joined that of his neighbor, Captain Robert Tucker, Jr. Martha named her first child, Ann, perhaps as a tribute to Frances Epes? wife, Ann Isham Epes, who had died the previous year. There was some kind of familial connection between Martha Epes & this Epes family.) ~They had 4 CHILDREN who were all born @ Prince George Co., VA: 1. ?Martha Ann Tucker? (m: David Ellington, Sr.); had 10 children. 2. Joseph Tucker (m: Prudence Wood); had 7 children. 3. Daniel Tucker (m: Elizabeth Clay); had 13 children. 4. Sarah ?Sally? Tucker (m: John Jesse Clay); had 3 children. ____________________________________________________ Further TUCKER Connection to the ELLINGTON's: ~~ Martha Ann Tucker Ellington's Brother, "Joseph Tucker", made his will on 6-1-1793. Probate of his will was granted in court on 6-18-1798. (Will Bk. 3, p. 123 of Prince Edward Co., VA). *** His Sons, Joseph Tucker, Jr. & Wood Tucker, & "Daniel Ellington" are listed as his 3 Executors. "Sally Ellington, John Ellington, & Daniel Ellington? are also witnesses to his will. *** ____________________________________________________ ?Martha Ann Tucker? MARRIED ?David Ellington, Sr.? in 1735. ---------------------------------------------------- DAVID ELLINGTON, 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. HIS FATHER was "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".) HIS MOTHER was "Sarah Sabrina Worsham". (There were many Worsham's in VA in the 1600-1700's, but which one was her line is unknown as-of-yet.) ---------------------------------------------------- MARTHA ANN & DAVID ELLINGTON, SR. had 10 Children who all lived to adulthood & prospered?quite a feat in the mid 1700's! THEIR CHILDREN: * = service during The Rev. War. It seems these Ellington's "gave goods & supplies for the war effort" while the 1 son-in-law was a supply agent (Martha's husband) & the other son-in-law actually "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). This is perhaps "why" most of the Ellington's "supplied goods & materials to The Continental Army" because of their brother-in-law Motley holding this particular position as supply agent. 2. Jeremiah (1737--1796); m: Frances (Fanny) Jones. * Jeremiah Ellington supplied beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War. 3. Lucy (1739--1802); m: Joel Tanner; lived in Wilkes Co., GA. 4. "DAVID, JR." (9-7-1741?1-2-1820); m: Jerusha Fowlkes in 1765; Jerusha died 6-28-1789; m: Jane Harrison on 1-6-1790. David JR., Jerusha, & Jerusha's cousin John were "Separate Baptists". 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 Lunenburg 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. 5. Josiah (1743--1819); m: Mary Cunningham; m: Elizabeth Bruce. 6. Obedience (1745--1827); she died in Hancock, GA; m: Stephen Evans, Jr.; there were 13 children from this marriage; * "Stephen Evans, Jr." was a corporal in "The VA Militia" during The Rev. War. 7. Sarah (1750--1782); m: John Page. Sarah married John Page. She was dead before 11-28-1782 when he married Elizabeth Wilkerson. John Page died in Lunenburg Co., VA in 1786 & identified "David Ellington Page" as a minor son in his will. Sarah's brother, David Ellington JR., witnessed Page's will. 8. Hezekiah, Sr. (2-23-1753?1793); m: Ridley Ann Bruce. * "Hezekiah Ellington" provided beef & a gun to The Continental Army during The Rev. War. 9. Enoch Ward (1754--1826) m: Sarah Woodson in 1779; m: Judith Woodson (her sister) in 1780; m: Nancy Blankenship in 1816. 10. Stephen (1757--?); m: Frances Williams.(incorrect-[kl] See Correspondence * "Stephen Ellington" provided beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War. -------------------------------------------------- *** DAVID SR.'s FATHER "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. [S160] Correspondence.

That was a different Stephen Ellington, descended from a brother or uncle of David Senior. Stephen Ellington I married Ann -- in Virginia. She had to relinquish her dower rights in a deed when he sold land.(See Prichett, Southside Virginia Genealogies, which is also the source of the incorrect information about Frances Williams) Stephen I died in 1798 in Georgia. His probate record continued for a decade because he had minor children. (1) His wife died in 1802, when Stephen's estate paid for her coffin cloth. (1 and 2) Stephen I had five children: Rice, Stephen Junior (a.k.a. Stephen II), Garland, Robert, and Jane. Rice Ellington married Nancy Garrett on April 24, 1800, in Elbert County, Georgia. (4) He married Martha Owens in 1839, after Nancy died. Stephen Ellington II married Elizabeth Thompson, daughter of William Thompson (of the Maryland Catholic Thompson lineage), around 1800. Stephen II and Elizabeth had one son, Stephen III, before Stephen II died suddenly in November 1802. Elizabeth and her father became administrators of Stephen II's estate and legatees of Stephen I then. When Elizabeth's neighbor Wiley Thompson married her, he became an administrator of Stephen II's estate and an heir of Stephen I. Jane Ellington married John Langdon on November 11, 1806. (3) Robert married Ann F.A. Prior in 1817. She got her marriage annulled after producing two children with him. He disappeared. I'm descended from Stephen I, Stephen II, and Stephen III.
