For those who are interested in the Ellises of Blount County and Barry County, I have sent Ransom A. Ellis Jr. the information I have on the Jaques branch of the family including a number of pictures of the family of Millard Nathaniel Jaques. Included in that lot is a picture of 100 Pearl Street, Monett Missouri (Barry Co.) where Sarah Ellis lived when she was married to William Jaques. In addition to that, I gave him a print of the only photo I have of Sarah (aunt Sis) Ellis Jaques and her husband with their children gathered around them. I also gave him numerous stories that my grandmother, the daughter of Millard N. Jaques wrote about the Jaques families. He will be incorporating this material and more into the next edition of his book, Ezekile Ellis, His Progenitors and Progeny. In addition to this, I put him in contact with the surviving child of the Jaques', my great aunt. I am exceedingly pleased to have been of some small help to the endeavor. The book is currently out of print and Ransom has no more copies, however I do think that the updated edition will be worth the wait. I have the volume and can do a few look-ups, so long as my eyes hold out. Print is very difficult for me to read now. On the plus side, I will soon be acquiring a talking computer to accomodate my diminishing sight. Technology marches on! :) Sylvia Stevens
