Hi Junior, I didn't intend my McElrath messages to go through the list but I'm so happy they did and you responded. Maybe that's the Texas connection...Ellison. Here goes: Joel S. Stone's mother was Rachel Ellison Stone Buchannan. I found Rachel in the Whitfield Co. History that Larry Stone wrote. However I found her coming in to Murray a little later than Larry through a land deed and Joel's civil war papers show him born in TN. I believe Rachel lived in TN. until her husband James died then came over the line to Murray. My question is this: Who are the parents of Rebecca Ellison?
