...Tennessee.
Ellen is said to have married John Stacy who died before June 1880. Ellen is said to have moved to Asheville, N.C. In the Henderson Co. Census, dated Sept. 6, 1850, District 2, we have the following entry (#30) which indicates that Ellen (Elener, Elizabeth) may well have been in Henderson County at that time:

Alexandria Wright M 27 farmer Tennessee
Elizabeth Wright F 36 North Carolina
Timpy Threadgill F 60 North Carolina (illiterate)

This was in the same district as Joseph Henry Threadgill (entry #47), Frances Taylor, and their young son Wm. H. Joseph was also listed as illiterate. Therefore Ellen, who married Alex Wright, may have settled in Henderson County after a frustrated marriage to John Stacy. See Threadgills, Book II [43], p. 52.
