DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Cecilia by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Cecilia:
Looks like on Geni they have Cecilia as the daughter of Gerrard Robert Ellyson and Anne Ellyson. Who here on the WikiTree tree would be her grandparents. That they would be her grandparents probably makes more sense. Just wanted to post the note in case anyone else comes across this and is wondering if there is a discrepancy.
A lot of users on Ancestry indicate that Cecilia was a Cherokee girl that was adopted by the Ellysons, but from what I can find, it seems like it's oral history rather than something that has been documented except by her many descendants when they were trying to register with the Dawes commission. Have you heard of this?

Cecilia Elmore (Ellyson) https://www.geni.com/people/Cecilia-Elmore/6000000008628850676
The issue being that here on WikiTree Cecilia has a sister named Elizabeth who married John Johnson.
Elizabeth Anne Johnson (Ellyson) 1706-1783 https://www.geni.com/people/Elizabeth-Johnson/6000000005586814010
On WikiTree her Aunt (or on Geni her sister, either way the two Elizabeths are neice/aunt)
And if you look at the profile on Geni it will have her sister listed as Elizabeth Ellyson who married Thomas Mitchell.
Elizabeth Mitchell (Ellyson) 1702-1776 https://www.geni.com/people/Elizabeth-Mitchell/6000000058357505833
