"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!)
------------------------------------------------

He was born in 1520 @ Mortenhamstead, Devon, England. He died in 1547 @ London, England.

Further TUCKER Connection to the ELLINGTON's:

*** 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.

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.
