Hi everyone, We're trying to find the family and parents of Lucinda (Lucy?) ELLIS who was born in Tennessee about 1827 and married William C. PHILLIPS about 1848 in Tennessee perhaps in McNairy County. They had at least one child, Robert Carroll, who was born 6 Mar 1849 in McNairy. William died before 1905 in Tennessee. Later Robert moved to Texas. What happened to Lucinda, who were her parents and siblings? We would sure appreciate hearing from anyone who might be able to make the connection with us! Thanks, Carl and Lynn -- ================================================================================ Researching the following: ALPI and PARIZZI in Fidenza, Italy GABRIEL and WILLIAMS in County Cork, Ireland GEREKE and SPETH in Quedlinburg, Germany ADAMS and BRINDLEY in Staffordshire, England ELLIS, PHILLIPS and STINNETT in Tennessee and Texas ====================================================================== Carl SPAETH 10217 Kensington Pky Apt 204 Kensington MD 20895-3333 USA 301-946-4779 [email protected]

Sooz - Thanks for the great laugh - I have read the Tombstone, AZ headstones and thought they were pretty good but these are great and very creative. Can someone with Family Tree Maker tell me if you can find out submitters names? I cannot find it in their book. Thanks . And while we're still in the cemetery - a little more info - The "Saved by the Bell" coffin was patented by Victorian inventors in 1893 in response to people's fears of being buried alive. A cord connected the deceased with an alarm bell above ground. Or some featured flags that unfurled and lids that sprang open. In 1740 traveling evangelist George Whitefield composed his own funeral hymn. "Ah, Lovely appearance of death, no sight upon earth is so fair: Not all the gay pageants that breathe, Can with a dead body compare" Good grief George - get a life! In the 1840's when funerals took place in cemeteries rather than small church plots, many new kinds of coffins were patented. My personal favorite - the "torpedo coffin" which exploded when tampered with to discourage grave robbers. Depending on the community, years ago, funeral attendees were often given souvenirs, such as "dead cakes" with the deceased's intials baked in them. What a great idea?? Classic gaffe - one graveside preacher, pointing to the recently deceased, solemnly pronounced, "This is only the shell. The nut is gone". And lastly, death-defying feats of language. We've all heard "Gone to meet his Maker", "Taken from this earthly garden", "Gone over to Beulah land". How about the soldiers - "stopped a bullet" and "answered the last muster". Or the Sailors - "Gave up the ship" or went to "Davy Jone's locker". Cowboys "die with their boots on", gamblers "when their number is up", or they "cash in their chips" . Farmer's "lay down their shovels" and when the time comes for theatrical folks, "it's curtains" which is what it's going to be for me if I don't stop. Linda . .

Hi, I am looking for any info on a William Nelson ELLIS who was born in New York state in 1843. He died in Iowa in 1935. Any help any one can give me would surely be appreicated. Marilyn

I am searching for the family of James Ellis b. abt 1843 in Tennessee (according to the 1870 Federal Census. James Ellis married Nancy Grumbles in Dallas Co. Alabama. The 1870 census shows James, age 27 and Nancy, age 24 with their son Samuel, age 2. The next residence on the census in James Ellis, age 47, Ellen age 40, Dicey age 25 and Jefferson age 5. All born in the state of Alabama. I do not know if this older James Ellis is related to my James or not, but sharing the same name and being next door neighbors, causes me to believe that they may be related, if not father and son.

Dear Ellis' Researchers, My Ellis ancestor was William K. Ellis who married Mary "Polly" Nichols 3 Jun 1838 in Ohio Co, KY. They had five children all born in KY: Elizabeth b. 1839; Amanda J. b. 1840 who married James L. Bartlett in 1857 in Logan Co, IL; Willaim J. b. 1842 who married Elizabeth Fossett in 1865 in Logan Co. IL; Mary A b. 1846; and Margaret A. b. 1854 who married Mahlon H. Mason in 1878 in Logan Co, IL. On the 1900 census both William K. and Polly indicate their parents were also born in Kentucky. Anyone out there that has a match to this family? Don Gregory

Looking for parents of Sarah (Sally) ELLIS STONE, b. 1859, KY, who married Napoleon Bonaparte LeSIEUR, b. 1845, m. in 1882 in LeSieur Twp, New Madrid Co., MO. Her surname may be either ELLIS or STONE. Sarah E. STONE is 21 years old and living alone in LeSieur Twp., New Madrid, MO in the 1880 census. Napoleon Bonaparte LeSIEUR and his first wife (also named Sarah) are living a few houses away. We couldn't find any STONE families in the census around New Madrid Co., MO, but we did find some ELLIS families there. Sarah E. STONE LeSIEUR was widowed about 1899 and later married James STUBBLEFIELD in New Madrid Co., MO. She died in January, 1946 in Portageville, New Madrid Co., MO. We tried to get her death certificate from the state, but they sent one for someone else instead. We tried the funeral home, but they didn't have any records for the time of her death. We tried to get her obituary from the newspaper in Portageville, MO, but they no longer have copies of the newspaper in that time frame. Charles Wilson [email protected] or [email protected] P. O.
