James Lafayette Ellison is my G-Grandfather, who married Sarah Ann Thurman, This I believe is the Fate that Ingrid is referring to, The other Fate is Francis Marions son Fate, Marion's family lived in Hollister, while my Fate was older and lived in Cedar Creek. His brother Francis Marion was married to first Catherine Major Page, and second to Casandra "Sadie" Lewallen. I am talking about an older group of Ellisons than you are, Maybe. I think I am getting very confused. Both Francis Marion and James Lafayette were children (among others) of James Ellison and Hetty Casey Ellison. Are you related also? Bonnie
