Rachel Curtice/Curtise) back. They were married in TN; children: Lydia, Moses, David..and a couple more whose names I've forgotten.. Moses Jr married 'Miss Patton" who died after having 3 children James, John and a daughter. He married Rhoda Patton, dau of Jacob Patton and (Rachel's sister ? ) Curtice. They had: David, my gr-grandfather, (m. Julia Hall) Elmira (Myrt Gower's mother), Mary Jane (m. Bedford), and a 3rd daughter. Both Moses Sr and wife and Moses Jr and wife are buried in the Ellis cemetery next to the family place on Rt 19, McKittrick, MO . Sorry I'm vague on names. I haven't done much work on this in a couple of years. Please communicate with me directly at the above e-mail address. Jean Wheeler (a cousin from the Hall side) has done extensive work on the Ellises as well as the Halls. Jenny
