This is Wiley T. Ellington of Thomson, Georgia, who married first Emily Edith Stockton (1852) and then got divorced from her.He was the father of Clarence H. Ellington and grandfather of Carl Ellington.He disappeared from Georgia after his divorce and showed back up at his adult son Clarence's home many, many years later.By then Wiley was a broken man, and Clarence was already a judge and a politician, I believe, and turning away his father would have been a liability.Wiley lived with his son until his death, but if memory serves me correctly, they rarely spoke.My grandparents found the Texas census.Whether my grandmother already knew that's where he'd been, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure she knew where to look.I am Wiley T.'s great-great-great granddaughter.
