I am so confused right now with so much controversy surrounding who Elizabeth Gilliam's Mother was. I have seen trees with Ellis and some with Jones, but I am unable to validate any of these whatsoever. Some even have that William and Elizabeth had no children and moved to Georgia. I have even seen some saying he left all of his estate to his siblings. If that was the case, maybe he didn't have any children. If you can help me with this problem or know where I can find any proof, please let me know. I don't want to just put a name on my tree just to fill in the blank. I want to be sure and be able to cite the actual positive identification. Thank you so much. Ann
