Searching for a connection of my gggg. grandfather Richard Ellerton, born 1790 in VA. (probably Albemarle Co., VA.) He married there in 1808 to Elizabeth Graves. They had 10 children together; Samuel, "Unknown female" who married "Unknown Toms", William, Sophia, Maryann, Malinda, John, Angeline, Winston, and Sophronia.
Richard moved his family to Madison Co., TN., bwt. 1825-28 where he lived until his death in Dec. of 1853.
I found a "John Ellerton" as a land owner in Albermarle Co., VA., in 1785 and 1790. I am curious as to if he was the father of my Richard.
Appreciate any knowledge to this family or possible connections.
