    3. Hi Tom - I was interested in your response to question about Jane Ely, and would like to get your opinion on Catherine Ely. She is shown in Early Settlers as the daughter of William Ely, one of the sons of Thomas Ely and Jane Smith, dob @1785. Other researchers (e.g., Lee County Bicentennial) show her as the wife of William Harris, but the dob of his wife Catherine calculates to @1816. Do you have any info on William's daughter Catherine that could eliminate her as the wife of William Harris? Like perhaps another husband, or indication of moving from Lee Co? Or do you have a C different Catherine Ely, b. @1816? The connection between Catherine, wife of Wm. Harris, and William Ely as daughter to father is presented in numerous family histories on the web, but it doesn't make sense to me. I would appreciate your thoughts on the subject. Thanks so much.
