>Why don't everyone post their Benjamins to the list. Please include >marriages, dates, places and resources. Great idea! I'va lso had quite a few conversations trying to sort out Benjamin's. My Benjamin: Benjamin M. Ellis - b. July, 1828 either MO, or TN; m. Dec. 16, 1852 to Rebecca Senna Hall, Aurora, MO; d. after 1900. They also had son named Benjamin - Benjamin P (Payton?) Ellis - b. Sept. 14, 1861, McDonald Co, MO; m. Martha Beth Smith, 1883, MO; d. June 28, 1942, Joplin, MO. My line from Benjamin M. comes through their son Alfred - gr grandfather - Alfred Faris Ellis, b. May 4, 1868, McDonald Co, MO; m. Etta Evelyne Stevens, Sept. 15, 1887, Aurora, MO; d. Sept. 1, 1943, McDonald Co, MO, buried in Roller Cemetary. grandfather - William Carl Ellis, b. March 25, 1911, McDonald Co, MO; m. Ethel Louise Anderson, May 25, 1934, McDonald Co, MO; d. Feb 7, 1984, Marion, KS, buried in a private plot in Florence, KS. The information comes partially from census listings of 1850; 1860; 1870; and 1900; birth certificates, death certificates; and verified family sources. Part of the census information was provided to me by Ken Busbee who is a descendant through both Benjamin M, and Benjamin P. Ellis. Benjamin M's father is Isaac. Any additional info on him would be greatly appreciated. Cindy Ellis mailto:[email protected]
