Hello Ellis Families, I am new to the list and this is my first posting. I am Joyce Mason, researching Abigail ELLIS b. ca.1790 who married John R. WOODWORTH of Mayfield,NY around 1805. They had a son, Orville Woodworth born in 1807 at Columbia Co NY. Abigail ELLIS' father may have been Gideon ELLIS(1759-?) Do any of you have any information on Abigail or her parents? Thank you for your attention, Joyce Mason Palm Springs, CA

Was there a descendant by the name of Kinchen, Josiah, or John Allen Ellis? They eventually came to Texas.

Peggy, Do you have any info on Sally Shrum who married one of the many Benjamin ELLIS. My husband is a descendant of their son Benjamin (Buck) ELLIS who married Rachel KETCHERSIDES. We also are trying to find info on Rachel. Thanks. Betty Gregory [email protected]

In 1728 the Dividing line between VA and NC was surveyed and the history of that event was written by Wiliam Byrd, one of the Commissioners representing VA, in two versions "History of the Dividing Line betwixt Virginia and North Carolina and "The Secret History of the Line". In both books mention is made of John Ellis, and his son, John Ellis, Jr. who worked with the surveyors as they measured and toiled their way from Currituck Inlet through the Great Dismal Swamp past the Dan River to the present boundries of Stokes County, NC. Byrd was instrumental in hiring the Virginia hands and he chose men who were "most of them Indian Traders and expert Woodsmen." Fifteen of the group had been recommended by a Mr. Mumford. The crew was told to meet Mumford at "Warrens Mill, arm'd with a Gun & Tomahawk on the 27th of February, & furnished with Provisions for ten days...after which time they were to be furnisht by the Government." The following day they crossed the river and proceeded "in good order through Surry County." Does anyone know what family the two Ellis men were of or what county they were from? Also, In what county did they rendezvous? Estel [email protected] _________________________________________________________________ pp. 28-32.

Hi, Listers! Found a nice page that gives lots of general information about land records. It might be helpful in understanding what some records mean and when certain types of land grants occurred, etc. I found it very useful for some good basic facts about potentially confusing deeds, etc. Enjoy, Cindy H-MB http://www.ultranet.com/~deeds/landref.htm

Betty, it would help if you included when and where. Margaret

Check the Northampton Co., NC and surrounding areas very closely. The BRYANT family here originated in Isle of Wight Co., VA and was in Bertie Co., NC by the 1720s. My SUMNER family of that area intermarried with both families and I suspect the ELLIS family there intermarried with them too. If you get a little further back, I descend from: Robert ELLIS, d.c.1740 Northampton Co., NC Robert ELLIS, m. Delilah and died c.1810 (wife 1817), Northampton Co., NC Benjamin, d.c.1807 in York Co., SC m.

I'm looking for a Bryant Ellis from NC in the early 1800 time frame. I have a John B Ellis and I'm looking for his father. The civil war records I have show John B Ellis' (who died of sickness in the Civil War) final military payment going to a Bryant Ellis. Ultimately I hope to prove John B and Jesse James Ellis are brothers. They both served in the 4th NC Troops during the Civil War. Any help would be appreciated... Ray Taylor [email protected]

USA 1600 - 1800 In order to identify and assign documentary (proof) to each Robert Ellis, I`m trying to establish a data base and ask all of you who have Robert Ellis(s) in your line to send me the following info. WITH sources: Father Mother Roberts date & place of birth " " death " " Marriage Wife(s) name Her Father Mother Roberts Children Land records Militia & war service. Thanks, Lloyd D. Ellis

Forgive; this is the easiest way that I can send the names and addresses to the new computer. Unless, that is, you write to me, and the address is stored automatically. Write to me. We are not flooded out yet, and my children in the Houston area are still safe, I think. When it rains, it pours. Plan to go to the Ellis reunion in Junction, TX on Sept. 26; beginning at 10 a.m. Swimming, fishing, etc. on the river, but I will be looking at genealogy!

Peggy---I was disappointed that my William Ellis (b. 1798) was not listed among your Benjamin's (b. 1763) children. The time frame fits, the area fits, but no William. I still think this may be my line, for that reason. Could you tell me where you got your info, so I can use it as a lead? My William married Phoebe Lacy (b. 1799 NC). They lived in McMinn or Grainger County, TN, before moving on to Missouri. Diane in OH

I was wondering if anyone is a member of Ancestry. com and would do a lookup. Much thanks Gregory

Got this great site for looking up Indiana marraiges from another list. Check it out! Lots of names and easy to use, except for variant spellings of last names. You have to put them in individually or hunt my county and maybe first two letters of the last name, etc. Hope you find some goodies! Enjoy!

The Manoah who married Thankful Nickerson Smart had a daughter who was Thankful Nickerson ELLIS who married Samuel Stillman KEITH. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated! Leslie Hiatt

This is the only info I have on Benjamin Ellis. He is my husbands Grandfather and I have not done much on this line yet. I just thought that I would add him to your list of Benjamins.
