I am researching the John Ellis family from Virginia. John Ellis first appears in the 1810 census for Bourbon County,KY, but I don't know where he was before that. He married Elizabeth ? ca 1765 and they had twelve daughters: Polly, Margaret, Elizabeth, Anna, Rachel, America, Thersey, Nancy, Harriet and three unnamed females and six sons:John W., Daniel, James W., Bradford, and two unnamed males. Their first known child was John W., born ca 1784-94. In the 1850 census for Dist. 45, Harrison Co., IN, John is listed as 105 years old, born VA. In addition, I'm researching the James Luther Shankster family of Centerville, Appanoose Co., IA, the John Daniels family also from Centervile, IA, the Henry Marion Crawford family of Centerville, IA, and the William Eddy family of Centerville, IA.Specifically, I'm trying to find out where in Virginia John Ellis was born and who his parents were. Any information would be appreciated, I am also willing to share the information that I have.
