Surnames: Ellerson, Ellarson Ellison Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QBC.2ACI/2227.25 Message Board Post: Hello, I am looking for information on David Ellerson (Ellarson) I am told David Ellerson was born on high seas enroute to Virginia (from ? Scottland), they landed near Fredericksburg, VA and moved 30 miles west to a town called Culpepper, VA. The family lived there and David Ellerson joined the military to fight in the Rev. War. I am told that he was one of the "minute men" and fought in several battles in Virginia and Pennsylvania prior to moving to Gilboa, Schoharie, Ny . I have been able to document some of his war activities in NY but not in Virginia or Pennsylvania and would appreciate any help you might be able to give me in regards to this. I am also tying to gain information about David Ellerson (Ellarson) parents so I can trace my genealogy back further. I have conflicting dates of birth for him. The DAR has his birthday as July 4,1750. The mormon family registry has his birthday listed as April 7,1750 and another source has his birthday as October 14, 1749. I would appreciate any information you might be able to provide me with about his parents,brothers,sisters etc since they are know to have settled in the Culpepper area. I am also trying to find information about the ship he may have been born on if it can be determined. Thank-you very much, David Weber
