Ellis) of Sharp Co. are? Lived in Piney Fork and/or Sullivan Township. George was born in around 1870, buried in Piney Fork Township. Married Julia E. Shanks, had daughter Artie L. Ellis. I have seen a James Houston Ellis as George's father. My family does not know anything of the parents. Any help would be appreciated! Thank You!
