Ellis Genealogical Collection, Special Collections, Hoskins Library, The University of Tennessee Knoxville Mary, thnaks for this posting. I will certainly try to obtain some of this information. for others not familiar with Dixie McCrary: Although I'm sure this collection contains more than just this family, much of this collection must contain information on the Edward & Jeremiah Ellis (Dixie's line.) Dixie McCrary's "The Ellis line from Surry and Sussex counties in Virginia" is on this family. I have included a partial 5 generation outline from Edward Ellis in this email. Perhaps some of you finding your ancestors listed might want to make a trip to Knoxville or see if you can some of the other titles listed in Mary Harper's original email in a closer library. Some of them might even be available on microfilm from LDS. CindyHMB Descendants of Edward Ellis, * 1 Edward Ellis, * b: Bef. 1623 in Eng or Wales d: Abt. 1670 in Surry Co, VA?
