Hi, I am researching the Ellis surname. My family is from Cross County Arkansas. My great great great Grandparents were born in North Carolina in the late 1700's. They moved to Shelby County Tennessee (as shown on 1850 census) then moved to Cross County Arkansas. I am looking for my great great grandfather. Here is some of the information I have. Anyone else out there looking?? Please e-mail. My family ended up in Arizona in the early 1930's. Some of them still live there. Great Great Great Grandparents (from 1850 census Shelby Tennessee) William Ellis Elizabeth (Wife) Children: John 17 Thomas 14 Robert 13 Nancy 12 Lucy 11 William 9 George 7 James 6 Yancey 4 Great Grandparents Married in 1879 Cross County Arkansas) James Alexander Ellis (Born 1859 Died 1899) Mattie Robinson (Born 1865 Died 1943) Children: William Alexander Born 1892 (Grandfather) Robert Born 1895 Died 1942 Any help would be appreciated.
