Fellow ELLIS researchers, In gathering info on the ELLIS surname while in New York, I ran across the following info: Jacob ELLIS b 1788 in Orange, New Jersey md 1814 to Mary PITNEY. She died Oct 2, 1878 in Torry, NY. He died Feb 1, 1870 also in Torry. They had the following children: James P., Rebecca P., Phoebe H., Lawrence lR., Abram R., David D., George Y. Also, Samuel ELLIS b May 20, 1775 d Sept 10, 1849 in Dundee, New York wife, Mary ?. Their children were: Gideon, Samuel Jr., Nicholas, Lucy, Silas, Eliza, Elonzo & Stephen Ellis. Asa ELLIS who md Olive Graham & settled in Italy, New York in 1810. Their children were: Asa Jr., Gideon, Joseph, John, Mry, Daniel P., and Laura ELLIS. I have no more info on the above ELLIS people. Hopefully someone on this list IS related & will find this info helpful. Still looking for parents to our Charlotte ELLIS who was born 1817 in New York (possibly Barrington, Yates Co., NY). This is my husband's ggg-grandmother. I have a Piety ELLIS b November 18, 1810 in Tn., my gg-grandmother. I don't know her parents' or siblings' names!
