Napier/Ely folks, I am told that my Jane Ely, born c. 1825 is the daughter of WIlliam Ely, JR.--this from a family member who dabbles in geneaolgy. Anyone able to place them? AM also told she married a George Napier. Someone on the list travelling soon to LEE might be able to look at millers chapel to see if he is buried there. I was there two years ago and saw JAne Ely's stone--didn't look for his at the time. carol
