Does anyone have a handle or even a small clue as to the family of Evan Ellis of the Jersey Settlement and, if so, was he Welsh? I'm particularly looking for predecessor information for James Ellis b. 8 May 1758, maybe in Rowan County, married Sarah Riggs about 1780 in Jefferson Co TN, died Oct 1818 and left a will dated 17 Sep 1817 in Lincoln/Moore Co TN. I'd also like to determine who were Sarah Riggs' parents/family for I believe they were in company, among others, to the migrations of this Ellis family from New Jersey to North Carolina to Tennessee to, eventually, Shelby County, Illinois. Other related families -- Crockett, Elliot, Curry, Langston, Boone et al... Thanks for any and all assistance! Myrna Madigan Tuscola, IL
