Re Mary Proctor, daughter of William Ellis
A Proctor did die in Fayette Co KY about 1798-1800 and his sons were named as George & Benjamin. Much of the will in Fayette Co was burned but what remains also shows his wife as a Mary. This Proctor had apparently given land to George & Elizabeth Hume for their lifetime - Benjamin to inherit at their decease. Elizabeth Proctor, sister to Thomas who married Popley O'Neal, was married to George Hume. The Proctor who was married to Mary was perhaps William, the oldest of the Proctor brothers.
