Notes:

In the deed given by Reynolds Elledge (son of Benjamin) to the Sleights in 1865, the grantors (Reynolds M. Elledge and his wife Zerilda) reserved one-eighth of an acre, a plot 4 ½ rods square, for "a burying ground for the heirs of the late Benjamin Elledge deceased," the plot being described with great particularity. This burial plot was 60 rods north and 32 rods east of the southwest corner of the old Elledge 80. It lay about 100 yards from the early Elledge log house; it is today traversed by a farm driveway, along which are strewn a few fragments of stones that once marked the burials of numerous descendants of the Boone line."
… >The cemetery is located in Griggsville Township.

Sometime in the past, tombstones found in the Benjamin Elledge cemetery were moved to a shed/garage/barn to be protected. They have since been moved (by persons unknown) to the Uriah Elledge Cemetery. It is unknown if there are remaining stones buried underground in the old Benjamin Elledge cemetery location.

Notes:

Daughter of Francis Elledge (1749-1844) and Charity Boone Elledge (1758-1853), who were of the durable pioneer group that left Pennsylvania seeking the freedom of the wilderness of North Carolina where they paused for a time before claiming the wilds of Kentucky. Her parents were born in North Carolina and died in a lovely settlement overlooking the Mississippi River in western Illinois.

Charity Boone Elledge was the daughter of Edward Boone (#8319109) and Martha Bryan Elledge (#42701142). Edward was six years younger than his brother, Daniel Boone. Martha Bryan was only one year younger than her sister, Rebecca Bryan Boone, wife of Daniel.

And so the mother of Nancy Elledge Phillips was the grand niece niece of both Daniel Boone & his wife, Rebecca.
