Hi Renee,

I am related through Clarinda Ellingtons line...her son William Ellingtons father was Shoeboots. Have you read a thesis by Tiya Miles "Bone of my Bones"? Its about Shoeboots and his wife Daul, Doll ect. after Clarinda goes back to KY.

My William Ellington was born October 17, 1798 and died October 13, 1893. He married Martha A. Long. Tiya Miles, I believe, speaks of a William Ellington living in Bosque County, TX. This is also where I find my William.

I believe there is a posting somewhere....you are disapointed that I did not respond to an email......if this was you - I am sorry. I was in a serious automobile accident and have been in recovery for a while.

I hope to hear from you soon and learn if you have read that thesis.

Thanks, Moninne
