HIS PARENTS were:
"David Ellington, Sr." & "Martha Ann Tucker Ellington".
------------------------------------
HIS FATHER, "David Sr.", was born in 1713 or 1718 @ Prince George Co., VA. This gets a little tricky as to his death; he "made his will" on 11-5-1773 @ Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co., VA. One account (of ‘many' varying accounts) said he died on 5-11-1774 which was the spring after he made the will in Nov. So, I tend to think he did die on 5-11-1774. He was the son of "John Ellington, Jr. or IV" who arrived in 1712 (according to a NASA biography called "Ellington Field, a Short History") or in 1717 (according to Ancestry.com where a passenger list to Virginia showed a "John Ellington" arriving in 1717 "with father John" stated as 'another' John Ellington. They were listed as "appraiser & surveyor".)
David Ellington, Sr.'s mother was "Sarah Sabrina Worsham".
** "John Ellington, JR." lent a horse & also provided beef & bacon to The Continental Line during The Revolutionary War said one account. Then this: "Ellington, John: Service: VA Rank: Patriotic Service: Description: 'He rendered material aid.' This was according to Abercrombie & Slatten, VA Rev. Public Claims, Volume 1." ** This goes along with the "family story" that he supplied the soldiers with goods & animals.

---------------------------------------
HIS MOTHER, "Martha Ann Tucker", was born on 8-29-1719 or 9-29-1719 @ Prince George Co., VA. She died on 5-9-1782 @ Lunenburg Co., VA. According to records, she lived with her son, David JR., following her husband's death.
----------------------------------------
HIS PARENTS married in 1735. They had 10 Children who all lived to adulthood & prospered…quite a feat in the mid 1700's!
-----------------------------------------
"David Ellington, JR.'s SIBLINGS":
* = service during The Rev. War.
It seems these Ellington's "gave goods & supplies for the war effort as well as fought" while the 1 son-in-law was a supply agent (Martha's husband) & the other son-in-law "fought in The Rev. War" (Obedience's husband).
--------------------------------
1. Martha (1736--1780); m: Joseph Motley, III in 1750.
* "Martha Ellington Motley" = There are So Many stories about: how she protected the whereabouts of her husband, Capt. Motley, from the Tories; how she would not divulge to the Tories where the supplies were kept for The Rev. War effort; & how she was stabbed & left weak & unconscious by the raiding Tories; & some say she "died for her country".
I don't know. She was attempting to recover from the birth of her "11th. child @ age 44" when the Tories attacked her in her bed! The Rev. War ended in 1783; Martha died in 1780. She "could be" a true heroine of The Rev. War!
* "Joseph Motley III" served as a Captain under George Washington during The French & Indian War (1754-1763). He was a "supply agent" for The Continental Army during The Rev. War (hence, the Tories wanting to know where the supplies were stored from Martha).
----------------------------------
2. Jeremiah (1737--1796); m: Frances (Fanny) Jones.
* Jeremiah Ellington supplied beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.
----------------------------------
3. Lucy (1739--1802); m: Joel Tanner; lived in Wilkes Co., GA.
----------------------------------
4. "DAVID, JR." (9-7-1741—1-2-1820); m: Jerusha Fowlkes in 1765; Jerusha died 6-28-1789; m: Jane Harrison on 1-6-1790.
David JR., Jerusha, & Jerusha's cousin John were "Separate Baptists". They petitioned Amelia Co., VA court to gather in the home of George Walton in 1768 to worship. DAVID JR. was a Baptist Minister in 1771 in Amelia Co. VA; he continued that from 1781-1791 in Lunenberg Co., VA.
-David married Jane Harrison in Prince Edward Co., VA on 1-6-1790. She was the daughter of William Harrison.
