Hello to the KNIGHT, LEWIS, ELLZEY, COLEMAN, AND BRIGHT LISTS: # 1: Re: Carrie/Karrie KNIGHT and John LEWIS and Harriet ELLZEY and daughter, Rachael Moranda/Marinda "Randa/Randy" LEWIS poss. aka Moranda COLEMAN md: ? COLEMAN? md: John Wesley BRIGHT md: Spencer B. PARKER of Rankin County, Mississippi and later Simpson County, Mississippi (family was in Copiah County and Smith County before Rankin) Jones County, Mississippi Abt. 1851 # 2: Re: Mary COLLINS?, thought to be the wife of Evan ELLZEY, b: late 1700s prob. in South Carolina, who moved to Jones County, Mississippi, and she was the mother of his children believed to have been Harriet ELLZEY, b: 1824 prob. in Jones County, Mississippi, George W. ELLZEY, b: 1810 in South Carolina, and Irvin E./Evan? ELLZEY, b: 1821 in either South Carolina or Jones County, Mississippi. #3: Re: ? COLEMAN?, possible 1st husband for Rachael Moranda/Marinda "Randa/Randy" LEWIS whom is said to have married both known husbands, John Wesley BRIGHT and Spencer B. PARKER, under the name of Moranda COLEMAN......why????? I am revisiting an old question with # 1 since finding that one of my paternal great grandmother's half-sister's granddaughters whom I recently heard from online has some of the same divergent information in her family group as I had in mine. It may be a result of a simple earlier mistake in assigning and pronouncing family names but then, again, it may be something else. Our mutual great grandmother was Rachael Moranda/Marinda "Randa/Randy" LEWIS born in 1851 in Jones County, MS, whom is usually seen as the daughter of Harriett ELLZEY and John LEWIS in other branches connecting information but, so far, in the past 10 years each time I have connected with another family branch descended from my great grandmother, Rachael Moranda LEWIS, I have found the name of her father as John LEWIS but her mother's name shows up as Carrie/Karrie KNIGHT. And Rachael Moranda LEWIS is said to have married both known husband's, John Wesley BRIGHT and Spencer B. PARKER, my great grandfather, under the name of Moranda COLEMAN but we still don't know where the COLEMAN name came from. There are connecting KNIGHT families to this family group in Jones County, MS and lots of of KNIGHT individuals but still have not uncovered any direct connection with a Carrie/Karrie KNIGHT and John LEWIS who was married to Harriet ELLZEY as another wife/etc.. Could this name of Carrie/Karrie KNIGHT have been a simple confused entry for Harriet ELLZEY and the BRIGHT family name that Rachael Moranda married into and had children by including one daughter named Rachael Moranda/Marinda "Randa/Randy" LEWIS born: 1851 in Jones County, Mississippi died: Aft. 1894 in Simpson County, Mississippi (does anyone have the date and cause of her death?) mother: Harriett ELLZEY born: 1824 in Jones County, MS or possibly South Carolina mother: Mary COLLINS? (The # 2 Re: Mary COLLINS?....this info is said to be in an ELLZEY - LEWIS family Bible...is Mary a COLLINS?) father: Evan ELLZEY father: John LEWIS born: Abt. 1820 in Jones County, MS mother: Nancy COPELAND mother: Rachael TUCKER father: Ripley COPELAND, Sr., (RS) father: Howell LEWIS, Sr. md: poss. a ? COLEMAN? md: John Wesley BRIGHT md: Spencer B. PARKER Can anyone shed any tiny amount of light on the situation involving the name of Carrie/Karrie KNIGHT continually resurfacing as the mother of Rachael Moranda/Marinda "Randa/Randy" LEWIS/aka Moranda COLEMAN?/aka Mrs. Rachel Moranda LEWIS BRIGHT PARKER? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick-Barnett
