Scott, I have been typing from Child's Gazeteer the Town of Ellisburg section for a project. Saw your yesterday's posting. Gave it to Eric Anderson, Pres., Henderson Historical Society, at our meeting yesterday. On page 99: "Grant, Darius, (Belleville) r 18, retired farmer. Grant, Willis, (Belleville) r 18, farmer 11." I don't know the year of the book publication. If Nan Dixon sees this msg, I believe she can tell you. Belleville is 5 mi. from Henderson. Unfortunately, the Henderson Historical Society will not open 'til spring.
