    Notes:

    Martha Ellington Motley
    Gave up her life for her country
    Martha was the wife of Captain Joseph Motley of Amelia and Pittsylvania Counties, Virginia, and was murdered during the Revolution. She refused to divulge to a Tory raiding party the hiding place of supplies which Captain Motley had for the Continental Army, or the whereabouts of her husband.

    Martha was alone in the "Old Place" except for servants and the little children at home. She was recuperating in bed from the recent birth of her eleventh child, Elizabeth. She was served by Rachel, a very extraordinary servant who is purported to have been an African Princess. This servant was kidnapped from the rice fields of her homeland by slave traders. The record also states that she spoke a different language from the other servants and wore beautiful flowers tattooed on her breasts. This servant later raised the children who were left orphaned when Martha was murdered.

    Present that fateful day were four little girls, daughters of Martha and Joseph. Obedience was eight, Prudence was six, Sally was four and Delilah was two. They were under foot when the party of men on horseback arrived at the front gate to be greeted by Rachel. The spokesman of the group asked to see Captain Motley. When told he was not at home, they demanded to talk to Mrs Motley. Although informed by Rachel that Mrs Motley was ill in bed and could not be disturbed, on the insistence of one of the men, the servant allowed them into the house. Later Rachel disclosed that she recognized one of the men as a neighbor of the Motleys. The party of men hurried past Rachel and the little girls and barged up the stairs to Martha's room. In the excitement of a child's fancy, Obedience ran to see what this was all about, and was present when the neighbor and 'friend' demanded to know where her father and brothers were and where the provisions were kept. She heard her mother refuse to give them any information and saw them take the arm of her mother and (despite Martha's struggles and cries) pierce her arm with a knife and leave her faint and unconscious.

    Of the little girls there that day, the baby-in-arms, Elizabeth, lived to adulthood and married Floyd Tanner. Delilah married Benjamin Terry; Sally married Francis Anderson; Prudence married Joshua Stone. They all lived in Pittsylvania County. Obedience married John Morehead of Rockingham County, North Carolina in 1790.

    In 1716 Joseph Jr of Gloucester VA married Elizabeth Forrest and they had nine children. Joseph acquired land in 1737, 1741, 1745, and by 1763 he owned 3750 acres in Amelia County. The property was situated on Route 616, known as Genito Rd. Today the Amelia and Nottoway County line divides the property. Joseph Jr lived in Amelia County VA until sometime before 1785 when he moved to Pittsylvania County Virginia. He was a surveyor who, with his son Joel, was part owner of Motley/Mottley and Baldwin Surveyors Co.



    The family of Joseph Motley of Amelia County married into the Tanner, Vaughan, and Fowlkes families. In 1737 Joseph bought 400 acres on Little Creek of Flat Creek from Matthew Mayes. His wife was Elizabeth Forrest, the daughter of Abraham Forrest and Judith his wife. Abraham Forrest of Gloucester County arrived in Amelia County by 17 May 1750 when he bought 400 acres on the south side of Deep Creek from Robert Moody. He died in Amelia County (will dated 10 June 1757, recorded 22 Feb. 1759).
    On 10 July 1745, Joseph obtained a patent for 1,083 acres in Amelia County on both sides of Flat Creek and he got 390 acres of neighboring land on 20 March 1745/6. On 25 June 1747, Joseph renewed his 1,083-acre patent and acquired 300 more acres that belonged to Thomas Tanner in 1742. Motley's land was partly in Nottoway County when they created it and the ancestral home fell just south of the county line. The Motley family occupied the home from 1737 until 1908.
    Joseph and Elizabeth were the parents of the ten children. Joseph died in Amelia County (will dated 2 Nov. 1763, recorded 27 Aug. 1777) as did his wife.

    ______________________________________________
    "Martha Ann Tucker's FATHER's LINEAGE:

    (Please Note: This was particularly tedious to do because this family named most of their children "John, Robert, Daniel, William, & Sarah (Sally)" which complicated the search for Martha Ann's father's direct line! There were "multiple" generations of brothers who did this!)
    ------------------------------------------------
    ~~ Her 4-GREAT's-GRANDFATHER = "John Tucker I".
    He was born in 1520 @ Mortenhamstead, Devon, England. He died in 1547 @ London, England.
    ~He married "Jane ?".
    ~They had 3 Sons:
    Richard, John Jr. or II, & William.
    John I died, & Jane then married Ralph Hamor, Sr. So, Jane & Ralph Hamor, Sr. finished raising the 3 sons of John I & had children of their own.
    -------------------------------------------------
    ~~ Her 3-GREAT's-GRANDFATHER = "John Tucker Jr. or II".
    ~He married "Alice Pelham" on 3-8-1580 @ St. Clement Eastcheap, London, England.
    ~They had 7 Children:
    Ann, John, Thomas, William, Alice, Robert, & Susanna.
    John II was an investor in The Virginia Co. which was established by King James I to establish colonial settlements in North America.
    * John II's half-brother, Ralph Hamor, Jr., wrote the first book ever published on The Jamestown Colony in 1615. *
    -------------------------------------------------
    ~~ Her GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER = "William Tucker (Captain)".
    He was born @ Yorkshire, England in 1588 & died @ Elizabeth City, VA in 1644.
    ~He married "Mary Thompson". They arrived in VA on the Ship ‘Mary & James'.
    ~They had a son named John Tucker @ Westmoreland Co., VA in 1626.

    * Captain William was a participant in the politics & workings of Jamestown, VA. He had Dr. John Potts lace poison into the ceremonial drinks of the Indian chiefs @ a negotiation for peace in May of 1623. Chief Powhatan became ill from the poison while the other chief Opechancanough escaped; a total of approximately 200 Indians were killed that day. *
    Captain William Tucker is listed as a "survivor of Jamestown".
    --------------------------------------------------
    ~~ Her GREAT-GRANDFATHER = "John Tucker III" (III =we'll call him).
    * He was "the first" of this Tucker line who was born in North America! *
    He was born on 9-8-1626 @ Westmoreland Co., VA; he died on 5-5-1671.
    ~He married "Rose Allerton" on 10-26-1645 @ Westmoreland Co., VA.
    ~They had 4 Children @ Charles City Co., VA:

    ~He married "Elizabeth Coleman" in 1676.
    ~They had 4 Children @ Charles City Co., VA:

    He was born @ Charles City Co., VA in 1676; he died in 1750 @ Amelia Co., VA.
    (He first married Elizabeth Parham, & they had 5 children.)

    ~ Following Elizabeth’s death, he then married "Martha Epes" on 5-8-1712.

    ~They had 4 CHILDREN who were all born @ Prince George Co., VA:
    1. “Martha Ann Tucker” (m: David Ellington, Sr.); had 10 children.
    2. Joseph Tucker (m: Prudence Wood); had 7 children.
    3. Daniel Tucker (m: Elizabeth Clay); had 13 children.
    4. Sarah “Sally” Tucker (m: John Jesse Clay); had 3 children.
    ____________________________________________________
    Further TUCKER Connection to the ELLINGTON's:

    ~~ Martha Ann Tucker Ellington's Brother, "Joseph Tucker", made his will on 6-1-1793. Probate of his will was granted in court on 6-18-1798.
    (Will Bk. 3, p. 123 of Prince Edward Co., VA).
    *** His Sons, Joseph Tucker, Jr. & Wood Tucker, & "Daniel Ellington" are listed as his 3 Executors. "Sally Ellington, John Ellington, & Daniel Ellington” are also witnesses to his will. ***
    ____________________________________________________
    “Martha Ann Tucker” MARRIED “David Ellington, Sr.” in 1735.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    DAVID ELLINGTON, 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. HIS FATHER was "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".) HIS MOTHER was "Sarah Sabrina Worsham". (There were many Worsham's in VA in the 1600-1700's, but which one was her line is unknown as-of-yet.)
    ----------------------------------------------------
    MARTHA ANN & DAVID ELLINGTON, SR. had 10 Children who all lived to adulthood & prospered…quite a feat in the mid 1700's!

    THEIR CHILDREN:
    * = service during The Rev. War.
    It seems these Ellington's "gave goods & supplies for the war effort" while the 1 son-in-law was a supply agent (Martha's husband) & the other son-in-law actually "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).
    This is perhaps "why" most of the Ellington's "supplied goods & materials to The Continental Army" because of their brother-in-law Motley holding this particular position as supply agent.

    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 Lunenburg Co., VA.
    -David married Jane Harrison in Prince Edward Co., VA on 1-6-1790. She was the daughter of William Harrison.
    * "DAVID ELLINGTON, JR." [Patriotic Service, VA] according to "Soldiers & Patriots of GA" website.

    5. Josiah (1743--1819); m: Mary Cunningham; m: Elizabeth Bruce.

    6. Obedience (1745--1827); she died in Hancock, GA; m: Stephen Evans, Jr.;
    there were 13 children from this marriage;
    * "Stephen Evans, Jr." was a corporal in "The VA Militia" during The Rev. War.

    7. Sarah (1750--1782); m: John Page.
    Sarah married John Page. She was dead before 11-28-1782 when he married Elizabeth Wilkerson. John Page died in Lunenburg Co., VA in 1786 & identified "David Ellington Page" as a minor son in his will. Sarah's brother, David Ellington JR., witnessed Page's will.

    8. Hezekiah, Sr. (2-23-1753—1793); m: Ridley Ann Bruce.
    * "Hezekiah Ellington" provided beef & a gun to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.

    9. Enoch Ward (1754--1826) m: Sarah Woodson in 1779; m: Judith Woodson (her sister) in 1780; m: Nancy Blankenship in 1816.

    10. Stephen (1757--?); m: Frances Williams.
    * "Stephen Ellington" provided beef to The Continental Army during The Rev. War.
    --------------------------------------------------
    *** DAVID SR.'s FATHER "John Ellington" 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.
