Mr Robert, Thank you for your kind and generous offer. I would like anything you know or could find about this family. I have visited the Cemetery and took a lot of pictures. I don't know when they moved back to Dale County, as they are in Coffee County, Enterprise, AL, 1900 and 1910. I have not found them in the 1920 census, but believe they were back in the Daleville area by then. Martha Susan Williams Ellis died 1922, and George Monroe Ellis remarried to Fannie Allen 1928, in Coffee County AL, but he died 1929 and is buried beside Miss Susan. Their children married into the McLean, Bass, Walls & Stephenson Families, if that will help. Again, Thank you for responding and your interest to help.
