Hi MONTCO and BERKSCO listers, We have a gg grandfather James ELLIS and his wife, Mary Ann (ROBERTS???) who was a quarryman in Upper Merion Twp, Montgomery County, at the time of the 1850 US Census. At the time of his Declaration of Intention to become a US Citizen, on 17 APR 1852, he was a citizen of Shannonville, Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, and at the time of the 1860 U S Census, he seems to have been a citizen of Colebrookdale Township, Berks County. Mary Ann was missing from this census. In fact, only one of his children appeared to be still living in his household. No wonder he is so hard to pin down. He is a true "moving target." Can anyone tell us where Shannonville is? Does anyone have anything else on the family, such as where Mary Ann may have gone? Thanks very much, Bob Reifsneider Orange Park, FL
