I'm trying to find out where my great grandmother came from. Her name is
Cordelia Kilby, b. 28 Mar 1865 d. 20 Feb 1910, buried Green Cove Cemetery
in Tellico Plains, Monroe Co., TN. She was married to Rev. John Ellis b.
1866 NC d. Nov 1955 Etowah, TN. I know that they came from North Carolina
after 1890 because my grandmother Ora Lee Ellis was born in Unaka, North
Carolina abt 1890/91. I have no information at all on Cordelia, and all I
have on Rev. John is his father's name J.F. Ellis and wife Martha, b. 6
Mar 1840 d. 2 Jan 1920 (possibly last name of Kilby) . I know Martha and
J.F. are also buried at Green Cove Cemetery in Tellico Plains, but I don't
know where they were born.....or where they came from. If anyone has
access to census records, or anything that might tell me when they were in
NC, or obituaries, or whatever I might need to help me with this family. I
am so frustrated that I have not found anyone who can shed a even just a
"little" light on this family for me. Anyone who can help me, please write
me. Thank you all for any help I may get on this.

I was sent a copy of the page out of the Greencove Cemetery book from a
close friend of mine and it gives Cordelia and Martha's birth and death
dates there. Rev. John is not listed, nor is J.F. his father.
