Francis Elledge and Charity Boone from http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/17305336/person/611170688/storyx/04a...
Francis Elledge was born February 18,1756. His parents were William Elledge and Elizabeth Kindred . Charity Boone was born October 4, 1760, the daughter of Edward Boone and Martha Bryan. They were married about 1776 in North Carolina. According to the family record kept in their grandson William Alcorn's family bible (of which the original copy is still in our possession) their first daughter Mary Elledge was born October 19, 1777. The story of Charity and Francis Elledge's migration from North Carolina to Kentucky opens on Boone's Trace in the year 1779,during the War of the Revolution. Up through the Great Smokey Mountains ran Boone's Trace and down along the Watauga River on the other side, to its juncture with the Clinch, where the way forked. From there, one branch led southward to Knoxville, and so westward through Tennessee; the other fork turned sharply northward, climbed through the Cumberland Gap and descending into Kentucky, curved gradually west and south again; this latter trail became known as the Wilderness Road.
Charity Boone. From a Pike County History Book:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Elledge-16
Charity Boone, eldest daughter of Edward (Neddie) Boone and Martha Bryan, was born in October, 1758. She died about the year 1853. Mrs. Spraker in "The Boone Family" says: "Charity Boone married Francis Elledge or Ellege or Willege. They followed their children into Illinois, settling near Winchester, where they both died— he first, and she later, about 1853." It is likely that Francis and Charity lived for a time with some of their children in Old Morgan, now Scott county, coming later in their old age to the home of the son near Griggsville. There is no mention, however, of either of them in records of Old Morgan or in Scott county, erected therefrom in 1839.
This record of Charity Boone's children was handed down to Mr. Willsey by a grandson of Mary Elledge Alcorn, daughter of Francis Elledge and Charity Boone and a sister of Benjamin, Boone, James and Jesse Elledge of early Griggsville. This record was written down by Mr. Willsey in an old account book and is as follows:
"Francis Elledge born 1749 - Charity Elledge born 1758 - father and mother of Mary Elledge, James Elledge, Benjamin Elledge, Boone Elledge, Patsy Elledge, Nancy Elledge, Edward Elledge, Charity Elledge, William Elledge, Jesse Elledge, Jemima Elledge. Record given me by Cousin Willie Alcorn, son of Uncle Jesse." (Note: Charity, named above, was also known as Sarah, and Jemima, who married William Scholl, was known also as Martha.)
Mr. Willsey's mother, Malinda Rogers, was a daughter of David Redmon and Fanny Alcorn Rogers, she being a daughter of Robert (Robin) Alcorn and Mary Elledge. Three of Mary Elledge's sons, William, Benjamin and Jesse Alcorn, were prominent in early Pike county.
Much confusion exists among descendants of Charity Boone as to whose daughter she was. Numerous of them were brought up in the belief that she was a daughter of old Daniel, whereas she was the eldest daughter of Daniel's younger brother, Edward. Mr. Willsey is one of Charity Boone's descendants who long believed that he descended directly from the famous Indian fighter. In his old account book, the writer found this entry:
"She is a daughter of "Neddie"Edward Nathaniel and Martha Boone. [YES] Her husband is Jesse Bandy, Sr. [NO]
"My Charity Ann Boone married Jesse Bandy was was the daughter of Edward Boone not the Charity Ann Boone daughter of Daniel Boone who married the Frances Elledge". (Col. Daniel Boone did not have a daughter called Charity.)
