I received the following from the Missouri email & noticed an Ellis reference & thought I would pass it on. I hope cross-fertilization isn't discouraged. Charley Subj: Re: [MOPIKE-L] PIT/TRUE marriage 1834, Pike co MO Date: 9/28/98 7:48:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Ron Grabyan) To: [email protected] Stan, The only "True" that I have was James True, one of two husbands of Nancy Ellis, daughter of William Ellis(1743, VA--1793,Kty) and Agnes Brooks Carr(m 1766, VA; d 1807, Kty) (the other husband was John Thompson). This William Ellis was the Leader of the Baptist Travelling Church which left Spotsylvania Co, Virginia in 1781 for Kentucky due to religious persecution. This reference of James True married to Nancy Ellis is soft and without documentation. Another daughter of William Ellis and Anges Brooks Carr was Phoebe Ellis, who married Reuben McDannold (good documentation). They moved to Calumet Twp, Pike Co, Missouri in Oct, 1835 with other families --the Juetts, Jeans, Fords, Treadways, and other related families who came to Pike County from Montgomery County, Kentucky, in a large migration in 1835["Pike County, Missouri People Places & Pikers" Compiled & Edited by Karen Schwadron 1981]. Another daughter of William Ellis and Agnes Brooks Carr was Elizabeth Ellis, who married John Coons in 1794 in Montgomery Co, Kty. Their son, John Coons Jr. married Elizabeth Wells in Montgomery Co, Kty in 1830, and moved to Ralls Co, Missouri just north of Pike Co. Please let me know if anything develops for you with this information. -- Ron Grabyan [email protected] Stan Cornelius wrote: > > Hi > > John Pit m. Patsey True 23 Nov 1834 in Pike co MO.
