Oops! I skipped a generation. Sorry about that. We were in the middle of a family crisis involving the dog and the carpet while I was typing it. John Dillard and Sallie Jacobs were Ellen's grandparents. Her parents were Andrew J. Dillard and Lucy Harris. They married 14 Dec. 1856. Andrew was married first to Rebecca Swain on 15 Oct 1845. They had tree children: Sarah J. Dillard, Eudora F. Dillard and Nancy Dillard. The children of Andrew and Lucy are: Ellen, John, William, Greg or Grey H., and Andrew J., Dillard. I can tell you more about the Dillard family but some of the lineage is preponderance of evidence, no direct proof. Sorry about the goof. Anne Sloan
