I'm trying to locate any info. on ELLIS families, descendants in Carroll, Gibson and Madison Co., TN. My ancestor John W. Ellis was from this area. Here is a timeline for him: 1805 - born in N.C. 1831-1833 in TN (was married to Miriam and had one child before moving to Miss.) 1840 - Marshall Co., Miss. census 1850 - Marshall Co., Miss. census 1860 - Carroll Co., TN census 1870 - Gibson Co., TN census (John W. Ellis died & left a will in Gibson Co., TN in 1877). His children married LANIER, DONNELL, etc., and there are family ties to HERRON, HUTCHINGS, HOLMES, SENTER, ALEXANDER, WOODS, MAY, etc. etc.
