Wanda, I'm showing Benjamin's birth only as 1800, SC. Do you have more details about same? I see also that his son, Jesse C. Ellis moved to Erath Co. TX. Sarah Ellis, Benjamin's oldest sister, married Daniel Murphree III. Solomon I believe was the brother of Daniel's father. I've read that Daniel Murphree II was killed during the Revolution, but I've seen no documentation concerning same. I see that Mr. Bates was also a descendant of Benjamin.
