I have sent 2 emails in the last month requesting information on my dads father (Ellis Norris Gullett) Haven't seen anything posted nor have I received any emails. What am I doing wrong? Am I sending to the wrong address? No acknowledge of any kind. Should I give up on this site as a source of information? I would appreciate a reply, stating, that at least you received my email and can't be of any help. Thank you for responding. Jim Gillette [email protected]

Jim: When you quiry, it would be helpful if you gave whatever information you have on the person besides just their name. I found Ellis N. Gullett on the 1920 census for Wayne, Randolph County, Indiana, as follows: Ellis born March 27, 1873 (according to his WWI Draft Registration card signed on September 12, 1918 in Randolph County, IN) - both of his parents are listed as born in Indiana too. He was a farmer. Corda (wife) age 42 born about 1878 in Indiana Vanda (son) age 17 born about 1903 in Indiana Mary (daughter) born about 1909 in Indiana Robert P. (son) born about 1917 in Indiana There is also a biographical sketch of the Gullett family in Tucker's HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY published in 1882 as follows: "EZEKIAL GULLETT was born in North Carolina about 1776. He married MARY DIXON, sister of Benjamin Dixon; they had ten children, all born in Ohio or North Carolina. They moved to Butler County, Ohio, at a very early date and after undergoing a full course of pioneer life in that region, resolved to try a second experience of a similar sort and plunged into the wilderness of Randolph County (Indiana), settling this time for life in Wayne Township, some miles south of where Union City now stands. He was among the first to that region, only about half a dozen families having preceded them to that part of the township. The family came to Wayne Township in 1835, consisting of husband and wife and six children, four having been married in Ohio: George, Anna, Thomas and John. The six unmarried were Mary, Samuel, Ezekiel, Eleanor and two others. The whole ten grew up were married and had families. Six were sons and four were daughters; only four are now living. Mr. Gullett was a farmer, a Methodist and a Democrat. He was a substantial pioneer residing in the township some 26 years. He was verging toward old age at his emigration to this county, being near sixty years old; and he died, July 18, 1861, aged 84 years. His wife outlived her husband somewhat, her death occuring on the "cold New Year's" January 1, 1864, about 80 years old." "SAMUEL GULLETT is the son of EZEKIAL GULLETT having been born in Butler County, Ohio about 1821. He came with is father to Wayne Township in 1835. He has been twice married. His first wife was FRANCES WASSON, daughter of David Wasson, a pioneer of the adjacent region in Darke County, Ohio and she died in 1873. His second wife is EILEEN PERRINE from Danville, Indiana. They removed not long ago from their farm east of Salem, Randolph County, to Union City where they now reside. He has had seven children, five of whom are living; one of his sons is Alexander who has attained some distinction. He was a soldier (Civil War); spent some time as a clerk in Washington City; was township trustee, became an attorney, was elected Prosecutor for the Judicial District to which Randolph County belongs and in 1880 removed to Colorado where he is rising to prominence as a man of activity and enterprise in his profession and in business in general." Census records show that Samuel had the following sons: Alexander born about 1845; Hamilton born about 1847; Harvey born about 1848 and Ezekial born about 1852. It is probable that one of these men was the father of Ellis. I could find no census record, however, verifying which one it might be. If you added 20 years to their birth dates, any of them could have fathered Ellis born in 1873. The only census record for Ellis was 1920. I tried various spellings of the name and nothing came up. I tried using just his first name in Indiana and just his middle name in Indiana and nothing. It is likely that the census taker's handwriting was so illegible that the name was not recognizable or they were not available when the census was taken. I don't know how far away you live from Indiana but the Museum in Winchester might have more specific data on this family. The Mormon records on line showed nothing nor did the family data on Ancestry.com have anything specific on Ellis either.
