This is my Ellis Line: My second great grandparents were Mary M. Ellis and James Richard Ainsworth. Third great grandparents were Lott Warren Ellis and Anna Roberts. Fourth great grandparents were George Ellis and Mary Warren. Fifth great grandparents were Stephen Ellis and Hannah or Diana Lowry. Sixth great grandparents were Joseph Ellis and Elizabeth Perkins. Seventh great grandparents were John Ellis and Elizabeth Smith. Eighth great grandparents were John Ellis and Susannah Royall. Many researchers say that this John was a son of David and Margarett Ellis of Jamestown. I believe that this is an incredible stretch because they would have both been much to old to have a son born 1661. Either there was a generation missing between them or the stories about this John being an original immigrant from England or Wales are true and there is no connection to David and Margarett. Does anyone have any new evidence or theories on the parents of this John Ellis. Barbara
