I have Ellison ancestors who were very early settlers in what is now Monroe County, WV. According to some old internet information I have, the Ellison father might have been married to Ann English or Ingles. I haven't investigated them very much. A daughter married Michael Swope/Schwab of Wolf Creek, Monroe County. By any chance could your James Ellison, Jr., be connected?

The Ellison family of the Wolf Creek area of Monroe Co., West Virginia are an allied family of the Reiner/Riner, Broyles and Fleischman families of Peterstown, Rich Creek, Monroe Co., West Virginia. The intermarriages between these groups is amazing to say the least. My tree program is down right now so I don't have details at the moment, but they are all central to my research in Monroe and Fayette Co's West Virginia. and all intermarried with my Riner family branches.
