Mary,
I can't help you much with the ancestors but I can give you a little supplemental information on this family. William and Martha had additional children besides the ones you mentioned. In the 1870 Bosque census, the following are listed under William and Martha: Rebecca (b.ca1843), Abraham (b.1849), Osta T. (b.1854), Safrona (b.1857), William (b.1858), Mary E. (b.1861), and George A. (b.1865). Additionally, three other children are listed after these: Francis (b.ca1860), Mary T. (b.ca1862), and William (b.1867).
These last three are probably children of a brother to William Ellington, but I have no idea what the brother's name might be.
In a separate household, but living next to William is a Nancy Ellington (b.ca1849) with a child Martha (age 7 months). This is probably a wife to one of his sons (son's name unknown).
Interestingly, Iva (who is in the 1880 census) is not listed in the 1870 census for some reason.
William and Martha also had an adopted son named Charles who was supposedly the son of one of William's sisters. Charles' natural father was Cherokee.
