I thought I would post the following information so that all of the Ellis list could take a look at it. I have several inquiries since I wrote concerning the Ellis book by Ransom Ellis. I'm still interested in learning if there is to be another book and if they are going to be following the line below. I am the granddaughter of DeForest Alexander Ellis b. 15 Jan. 1884 Blount Co.
