This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Borton, Allen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TIF.2ACEB/102.1 Message Board Post: I did a lookup in Betty Mann's book: 300 Years of Bortons in North America. I found Ellis listed as a son of Ira BORTON and Hannah ALLEN. Ira was born 4 Nov 1808 in Evesham, Burlington County, New Jersey and died 15 Feb 1890 in Mentone, Koscuisko County, Indiana. Ira and Hannah married 18 Sept 1928 (NOTE: This is a typo in the book. It might be 1828.) in Stark County, Ohio. Hannah was born 9 Feb 1806 and died 25 Mar 1864 in Mentone, Koscuisko County, Indiana. She was the daughter of Isaac H. ALLEN and Susan W. _______. If you can find a copy of the original book, there is a small picture of Hannah & Ira BORTON. Maybe someone could scan it and post it here on the message board for you.
