There was an "Ellery B. Northup" (age 19 years) listed in the 1850 census (Roll: M432_844, Page: 176, Family # 529; August 08, 1850) for Ward 3, Providence, Providence Co., Rhode Island, who along with several other young men living in a boarding house, identified themselves as "Jewelers." Possible father??? Best regards, Clyde :-)
