Joan, I had gotten that same info on the 3 orphans some time ago from the old Bute Co which is now Warren. I have wondered for a long time who they are. My Tuckers are connected to the Ellingtons in several ways. Daniel Ellington and his brother are married to the daughters of Daniel Sr who died in Wake Co 1792 .And Pleasant the youngest son and a minor chose for his guardian Jesse Ellington.Daniel Jr the son of Daniel Sr of Wake Co had moved to Rockingham Co NC with his brother in law Daniel Ellington and then he died in war of 1812 but in 1814/5 .His wife died shortly after. If you ever find out any more on these 3 brothers PLEASE let me know.This is my line. Thanks Pat
