Looking for information for my GGmother - Ella married to Andrew Jackson Hite - Ella was born about 1844 in Ky or WV and died Jun 1 1925 in Cabell County, WV. Andrew was born Mar 4, 1834 in Virginia and died nov 20, 1925. They were married about 1884. I believe his parents were Julius Hite and Pernelia Thompson.
Any information about Ella (Ellen) would be appreciated. My Grandfather was one of the youngest of their children, Elza. I have seen Ella's name spelled Kauffman also.
