My mother Hester told me, her grandmother told her that her step grandfather Levi Ellis treated her very badly when she was a child but she never knew why until she learned she was a product of rape by his brother. Her mother left her to be raised by her grandmother Jane Olive and step grandfather Levi Ellis.

This was my mother's grandmother, she wrote a note about her genealogy and gave it to my mother. She said her real father was Lawson Ellis brother of her mothers step father. Lawson apparently raped her mother Margaret "Maggie" Conners at the age of 14 and Maggie was sent away to have the baby and pretending that she had gotten married, had a baby and became a widow while she was gone. Unfortunately she was sent to live with the rapist's family. After the baby was born she returned to her mother and step father who moved to Illinois and had nothing to do with the Ellis family again. Mary was given her real grandfathers last name Conners. Margaret by then was going by the last name of Ellis because her real father Patrick Conners was killed in the Civil War just months after she was born, and at the age of about 7 her mother Jane Olive Conners married Levi Ellis.
