HENRY ELLER JR. and his family lived in Allegany Township, Huntington (now Blair) County, in 1810...

On July 8, 1815 Abraham and Elizabeth (Rench) Deeder sold to HENRY ELLER the Northeast 1/4 section 17 in Randolph Township, Montgomery County, Ohio; 160 acres...source: Deed Book D-1, page 97; Montgomery County, Ohio...

On August 4, 1813 HENRY AND FRANNY ELLER sold the above mentioned land to John Studybaker...source: Deed Book O, page 201, Montgomery County, Ohio...

FRONICA ELLER is mentioned in a will written by her father, Peter Crabill/Grabill. The will dated March 11, 1811, Proved November 2, 1812 states: " Peter Crabill, a widower. HIs children's names' are Peter, John, Elizabeth, FRONICA, and Joseph. In administrations accounts 1812-1817, dated April 26, 1813, distribution as made to the sons and their sisters Elizabeth (wife of Joseph Eller) and FRANNY (wife of HENRY ELLER) of Montgomery County, Ohio."...source: Liber RB-1.

"ELLERS came into Randolph Township about 1806....Robert and James Ewing, John and Abraham McClintock came from Kentucky in 1805. David and William Skeets came from North Carolina in 1806. About this time settlements sprang from every part of the township. Jacob Smith settled on the Northeast quarter of section 19; David Kinsey on the Northeast
quarter of section 32; Daniel Fetters on section 29, Peter Fetters on section 21, both in 1806. The ELLERS and the Fouts came about the same year. In 1811, there was a heavy immigration from Pennsylvania. Rasors, Warners, and Braunbaughs, with others came and all of them opened clearings for themselves...."
(note: Warners and Braunbaughs were to become cousin families through marriage with Ellers in this and other generations.)

ADDITIONS TO HENRY ELLER JR.

Found in Hagertown, Maryland: H/657 Deed...pertains to the settlement of the estate of Henry Eller (Jr.), deceased, recorded April 21, 1794, naming his children....

Found in Washington County, Maryland: Land Record M 12, pages 462 and 463, recorded April 25, 1800...ffinally recieved the forty pounds due him from the estate, as he is now of lawful age. (The youngest son of Henry-Peter Eller).

In the history of Washington County, Pennsylvania published in 1882, under Biographical Sketches of the many Pioneers and Prominent Men by Boyd Crumrine: a paragraph pertaining to Peter Eller who came to West Bethlehem Township soon after 1800 and purchased land. At the time of publication (1882) mentioned was made that Peter's son Henry lived on the tract of land. Further there is a record of "Memorandum of an agreement" assigned the widow and heirs of Peter Eller late of West Bethlehem Township, Washington County, Pennylvania, deceased, ect. leaving no will, dated May ? 1843. The administrators were Daniel Eller and Nicholas Garret. Signatures of persons receiving their distributive share were: Mary Magdeline Eller, Widow an children Mary Eller, Henry Eller, Katherine Eller, and Elizabeth Eller. This Peter Eller may be the youngest son of Henry Eller Sr.; if so, Daniel Eller might be his older brother.

DANIEL ELLER...
ELIZABETH SILER ELLER...

The 1850 census of Randolph Township, Montgomery County, Ohio reports that Daniel and Elizabeth were both born in Maryland. The 1860 census of the same township shows that they were born in Pennylvania. (the different reports may be explained with the changes of state borders of Pennylvania and Maryland. In some documents Washington County is shown in Pennylvania instead of Maryland.)

On August 8,1814 Daniel Eller bought the NE quarter section of section 6 in Randolph Township, Montgomery County, Ohio totaling 160 acres. It appears that he still retained the tract in 1850 as his real estate was valued at six thousand dollars at the time.

Of Joesph Eller (1808-1864), his estate was settled in 1871; and to the heirs of DANIEL ELLER (Joesph was Daniel's brother) went 1/80th of the estate to wit: Moses Eller, Margret Kinsey, Arron Eller, Daniel Eller, Henry Eller, Sarah Warner, Susanna Smith, Fanny Dohner, Elizabeth Rodney (Elizabeth Rodney is in a wrong list of heirs pertaining to the issues of Henry Eller III receiving 1/60th).

Daniel Eller is shown in the 1820 federal census, reference # 101.
