The estate of Elington may have been William B. Ellington who died in 1848. The list of appraisements found in Williams’ estate papers included a list of slaves he owned. I found several names from the appraisements list on the Shiloh Church members list—Harriet, Sucky, and Nancy. This is not confirmed however. I did not find Mr. Ellington on the list of male members.
I tried my best to read the writing but may have a few names wrong. When in question, please review the images provided. Click on each image to enlarge. You may have better luck than I did at reading.
Legend:
DL may stand for Dismission Letter, Dismissed by Letter, or Letter of Dismission.
