According to Rudolph Young,
"James Ellington was sent to work at Stonewall furnace. Slaves were sent from the South Carolina coastal areas out of the reach of the union army which had occupied parts of South Carolina early in the war. Stonewall furnace was built by James Madison Smith in1863 and named for Stonewall Jackson. Smith sent the wages to the slave owners in South Carolina. After the war, James Ellington remained in Lincoln County. He moved his family up from SC. He was a farmer. He probably would have remained in Lincoln County had his daughter not married Daniel Rudisell and moved to Washington, DC. The Ellington family followed the Rudisell family who followed the Hoke family. John Ellington, James' son, married Hannah McDaniel. After John worked as a schoolteacher in Lincoln County, he too moved to Washington, DC. There is a branch of the Ellington family living in the county today. James Ellington, the son of James and Emma Ellington is the father of Duke Ellington. The other Lincoln County families who married into the Ellington family are Beam and Schenck."
