Surnames: TILLIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BZ.2ADI/271.276.1 Message Board Post: Your message was a great help to me. I had not found this 1880 census record, so did not know my gggf had remarried. I did have a note in my files that a Tapley Tillis had married a Permelia Moore, but did not know that it was he. Now I can pinpoint Ellender's death as between 1870 (census) and 1873. Please note that the 11 year old listed as Harvey was Harney. Both Tapley and his oldest son Templeton P. Tillis had a son named William Harney. I recall my father speaking about his "Uncle Harney" who was Templeton's son. It is thought that they were named after the great Indian fighter of the Seminole wars.
