Hi, I am researching the following surnames, Ellis, Wells and White. These families moved to Dustin from Arkansas about 1900. Ellis is my brick wall. Jackson Refelix Ellis married Dialphia Jane White on 17 Jul 1892 in Baxter County, Arkansas. Jackson's father was Joe Ellis, his mother, possibly, Catherine Jackson? Joe Ellis died before Jackson was born and Jackson'smother died when Jackson was about 8 yrs. of age. Jackson had 1 sister, that I know of, named Catherine, about 8 yrs his senior. Jackson lived with Catherine for a time after the death of their parents. He , then, lived with the Whites, which is how he and Dialphia met. Jackson and Dialphia had two children: James Harvey Ellis, b. 25 Aug 1909, married Pearl Henry Elmira Mendoza Ellis "Doza", b. 4 Nov 1913, married James Harvey Wells Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Connie Wells Karle

Hi Just run across you post might be able to help just alittle bit on White side of family or point you in a direction to go. My grandmother Melvina White Grissom was a sister to Dialphia, I can remember her when I was just a little girl her coming to our house occassionaly and spending the day Aunt Dialphia and her sister Aunt Margie Maxwell use to spend a lot of time together at our house. My grandmother always lived in Ca and died when I was 4 yr old so I never really got to know her. Are you Doza's daughter, I can remember her always coming to visit when she was in OK If you care to write would give the info I have.
