- Marriage index has transcribed her name as Ellen "Toler". Marriage to Geo Toney shown as 4 Mar 1895, Tyler Co, Texas.
- 1920, 1930, 1940 census years show she was "widowed", however husband George Toney did not die until 1943 - perhaps they were separated/divorced and she just chose status of widow since status of divorced was frowned upon in early years? .... She lived with her son Albert during these census years.
- The informant on her TXDC was A.W. Toney, most likely her son Albert W. Toney. He gives her parent names as Father: Hardy Toney and Mother: Sarah Ann Grimes. .... From census it appears her mother Sarah Ann Grimes was listed in census as "widowed" over the years, as was Ellen, even though her assumed to be spouse was still living. Again, perhaps both mother and daughter chose the widow status rather than list separated/divorced?
