Sharon, I agree that it is interesting that the name of Ellsworth appears in our families as middle names and that your family lived in southern IN. But this seems to be little to go on. It may bear checking out. I have always wondered why my family had members with the Ellsworth middle name but I have never found a reason for it. I have not been able to discover enough about my family in IN or before to connect with your family. Let us continue our research. Darrel
