Also when he married <B> Ellen L. Floyd </B> on November 22, 1883 in Cleveland County, his age was listed as 20 years, and the record indicated that his father was dead. H. A. Weathers and A. G. Weathers were witnesses to this marriage. This is significant because Weathers was the surname of Joseph's stepfather. Ellen's father was also deceased, and her mother's name was given as "Dolly" Floyd. She was born in April 1865 in North Carolina. The 1900 Census record indicated that both her parents were born in North Carolina, and Ellen was the mother of eight children, seven were living. </P> <P> Later, I obtained additional information from Mona A.

She was born April 12, 1864 and died September 16, 1905. She was buried in "Beaverdam Baptist Church Cemetery, beside her son, George. Her tombstone reads 'Ellen Runyan wife of J. C.
