Friends on you help? WHO IS Pricilla Eller,
b 1821, d ?, Watagua County, NC?...Who are her parents?

Rose

This is amazing stuff! I have no record of a Pricilla Eller from
Watagua County, NC. This may mean that we are related to yet another
Eller branch. Now we have to find out who Pricilla's parents were.
Whoever they are they are my g.g.g.g.grandparents. This also
straightens out the issue in my line of Joseph Alec and Susie Evelyn
being like first or second cousins. Any suggestions?

I am going to send a message over the group to see
if anyone knows of Pricilla, and also to Ed Eller who recently published
the new Eller book. OK?

Did you adjust your gedcom file yet? When I get this down I'll send you
a copy for you to check.

Thanks again for the information.

Ben

>Since I last talked to you I have been busy doing research on James
Frank Eller, here is what I have found according to records in Watauga
Co. NC. James Eller was born Feb 1846 to Pricilla Eller father unknown.
Not Nancy Eller.
m 1 Jan 1862 Delila Faye Minton b 14 Oct 1845 d 20 Aug 1890 buried at
Mt.Pleasant Baptist Church in Wilkes County, NC.
Children:
Joseph Alec Eller b 1865 m Susie Evelyn Eller
Mary E Eller b 1869 m ? Smith her children and gchildren not in order
Charlie Smith, Robert Smith, Bobby Smith Jr, Doris Smith, Dollie Smith,
Lee Smith
Ida M Eller b 1871 m ? Sluder moved to Bristol, Tenn
James P Eller b 1874
Arther Z Eller b 1877
Benjamin F Eller b 1879
Shown in the 1900 census Benjamin F Eller aged 21 as a day worker for
Alphus and Julie Triplett.
James Frank Eller m Feb 1891 in the Elk township of Watauga Co Alice
Amanda H. b Jul 1867 a widow with 3 children:
Anna A b Jul 1884
William L b Apr 1886
James A b Mar 1888
three children of James Frank and Alice Amanda:
Chanie E b Feb 1892
Thomas G b Oct 1894
Amanda Lucretia b Jul 1898
1910 census shows Alice Amanda Eller head of Household with three
children:
Chanie, Thomas, Amanda in the Stony Fork section of Watauga Co.
There were only 3or4 Eller's shown in the 1900 census namely:
Cleveland Eller
William & Elizabeth Eller
Aflred P Eller and Mary R Eller Children:
Truly Eller b Jun 1880 age 20
Jess C Eller b Dec 1881 age 19
Esther J Eller b Sep 1883 age 16
Minnie Ida Eller b Jun 1888 aged 11
Alfred L Eller b Jul 1891 age 8
Somehow I think this Alfred might be a brother of James Frank, but have
no proof.
Alfred P was aged 57 and was m 22 years.
shown in the 1850 census:
Pricilla Eller age 29 with Children:
Martha Eller age 11
James F Eller aged 9
Mirah Eller aged 6
after which Priscilla Eller disappears from the census she does not show
up again she could have married or died who knows. The genealogist I
had to research this says it is definite proof that James Frank is not
Nancy Eller's son.

The address of Bobby Smith Jr
846 Smith Road, Deep Gap, NC 28618 Tel: 828-264-5545

James Frank Eller is buried at Stony Fork Baptist Church in Watauga Co,
NC his date of death 15 Jul 1907.

Hope this helps,

Rose
