Unrelated Ellis Information to Share

Over the years I have collected information on other Ellis families for the Ellis Cousins Newsletter. This page will be under construction for a very long time because of the incredible amount of information I need to input. Please keep checking back. I'm putting it in order by family when possible as it would be too elaborate a project at this point to list every single name. Good luck.

p. 166: William Wheaton ELLIS, son of William and Mary (Wheaton) Ellis, was born December 13th, 1838, in Seekonk, Mass., now East Providence, R.I., and was educated at the English and Classical school of East Providence. He learned the jewelry business and followed it three years, then was employed by the Rumford Chemical Works, remaining four years, then worked for the Boston & Providence railroad for seven years, and returned to the chemical works. He was elected on the school board for three years, and was for two years of that time chairman of the board. He was elected again in 1889 for three years, also elected superintendent. He is treasurer of Newman Congregational church, and has been for a number of years, also for 18 years a trustee, and is and has been for a number of years clerk of the society. He was chosen deacon May 30th, 1872, and has served in that capacity for more than 18 years. He married Sarah H., daughter of Hezekiah and Avis N. Blaisdell, of Providence.

Eliza b. 1819 d. 1919 m. Unknown Ellis
These are their children I know of:

****William Ellis b. abt. 1847
****John Ellis b. abt. 1849
Edwin Ellis b. abt. 1853....my ggrandfather...(dairy farmer in WI) Franklin Merrill Ellis b. 1857 d. 1937....I'm in contact with his descendants. Records say they were all b. in VT. I'm searching for brothers, John and William, who were in the 1870 census for Vernon Co. WI along with Eliza, Edwin and Franklin. John was missing in the 1880 Census for that same Co. in WI. These census records are the only records I have for John and William Ellis.

Other names we have in our mix of clues are......
Milo Ellis
Earl Ellis
Pirl Carl Ellis ...My grandfather b. 1885
L D Ellis
Grace Ellis
Luella Ellis
Florence Ellis
Elizabeth Ellis
Harrison Ellis as possible husband of Eliza (Edwin's marriage cert. says this is his father)
?James Ellis? as another son of Eliza? I found a Civil WAr Pension that says, James Ellis the son of Eliza Ellis, but no more clues on this one.

Oh, I found a Franklin Ellis age 4 in the Fed. 1860 census in Potter Co., Hector twp., PA and am wondering if this is my Franklin. Do you have any connections to PA?

The Ellis family were dairy farmers and general farmers as I've found so far. My Franklin was a farmer and carpenter as well. He died of Apoplexy. We think there might be a connection to Ayr, Scotland.
