I can't tell you anything about Ellery, either. There is a John H. Northrup and a John H. Northup. Both are listed as having married Mary Cady on different dates in 1843. There is a John Northup son of John and Mary Northup, born in 1825. That would be close to the right time, but I have nothing to give you on that John and Mary Northup, either. I found nothing on Family Search and Nothing on Ancestry.com. I have Rhode Island Records on CD, but haven't been able to access it for some reason lately. You might try that. I'm pretty sure you will find him in Civil, Providence, R.I.
