Isabella Thompson Born: 1814 New York Cuty Died: 21 Sep 1889 Chadwick, New Jersey Isabella married John Ellis in New York City in 1829 and had 11 children. They lived in New York City; Sing Sing, NY; New Brunswick, NJ; Jersey City, NJ. I have very little information about her parents. The following is taken from a bio of her son Louis F. Ellis in "Men of Northwestern Ohio" "His parents were born and raised in New York City..His mother was of French descent and the daughter of a prominent merchant engaged in the dyeing of woolen goods, and fabrics." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
