 Abstract from: Boone, Jesse H.,
BOONE- SLEDGE - VAUGN - and Related Families, Middlesboro, MA, 1970.

p. 1: "Grandfather Nathan Richard Boone came to Illinois in 1836, age about 10; m. 20 Jun 1870 Rebecca Ann ELLER Williams (a widow) who was born 13 Jun I846 in Georgia and died 3 Oct 1915 6 miles north of Mt. Vernon, IL. Her father was:

JOSEPH ELLER, b. 14 Jan. 1816 in NC; m. Sarah Evans who was b. in TN 14 Aug 1821; d. 4 Oct 1876 in IL.

Children:

  1. Mary Eller, b. 1844-45, m. Ellick Wilson.
  2. Rebecca Ann Eller, b. 13 Jun 1846, GA; m. 3 times: m.1st N. Williams, (widowed); m.2nd Nathan Richard Boone (see above); m.3rd Morgan Burns in IL, after being widowed again.
  3. Margaret Eller, b. 1847-48, AL, m. Ike Mullinax.
  4. George Eller, b. 1848-49, AL, m. Alice Rice.
  5. Willis Eller, b. 1851-52, IL, m. Margaret Satterfield.
  6. Sophronia Eller, b. 1855-56 in IL, m.George Eller, -no relation- and then m. Colonel Sipes.
  7. Thomas Eller, b. 10 Oct 1858-59, IL, m. Susan Whitson.
  8. Newton A. Eller, b. 1862-63, IL, m. Anna Myers.
  9. John Eller, b. 1862-63, IL, m. Ida Minor.
  10. 10. Will Eller, b. 1867-68, IL, m. Annie Montgomery

Above abstracted from microfilm of book obtained from LDS Library, Salt Lake City. I believe these Ellers are of the Jacob Eller (NC) line who moved to North GA and some on to Alabama. Can anyone throw any light on this data? J. B. Eller, Rt. 2, Box 145-D, Whittier, NC 28789
