Ellis, but there may be one I dont know. My Ezra Ellis was born 12 Nov 1822 in Catawissa Co, PA to a Quaker family, son of William C. Ellis and Mary Hayhurst. I have listed that he had three sisters (Margaret b. 1821, Ann b. 1825, Matilda b. 1828), but no brothers. They moved to Indiana from Pennsylvania around 1853 and then to Lincoln Co, KS in 1874. Ezra died in Lincoln Co in 1896. I don't see any links between my Ezra and your John, but it may be worthwhile checking out Catawissa, PA.
