About Peter Ellis

Obituary - Jefferson Inquirer, Jefferson City, MO. March 3,1849 "DIED, on the 27th January, 1849, at his residence in this county [Boone], PETER ELLIS, in the 71st year of his age. The subject of this notice was born in Virginia, whence he emigrated in 1801 to the then Spanish Territory of Missouri, and settled in St. Louis

county. Here he married and continued to reside until 1818, when he removed to this then Howard County, where he remained until his death. On the evening of his death, he had retired to rest and was conversing with his aged wife, scarcely an instant before his spirit took its flight. He died without a groan or a struggle. A fitting sequel this to his life, which was calm and peaceful. Mr. Ellis had been for nearly 40 years a professor and a warm and steady friend of Religion: whose beneficient fruits he manifested in visiting the sick, comforting the distressed, doing good, as occasions presented themselves, to all: and fulfilling in every respect the duties of the honest, upright man, and the good citizen. Though living in the quiet retirement of private life, his loss will be deeply felt in the large circle of those, who were accustomed to look up to him for judicious counsel, for friendly advice, to expect his sympathy and ready assistance in times of distress and suffering. As a husband, father, citizen and friend, few have spent a life so exemplary and left a memory so free from reproach, so richly fraught with kindly affection and cherished associations. He leaves a large family, most of whom he had seen grown up to maturity and respectability. Green be his memory!

Pioneer Families of Missouri by Bryan and Rose: p 327-328 ---"Ellis. -- The parents of John, Abraham, Peter and William Ellis were natives of England. The four brothers came to America and settled in Fauquier county, Va. Peter and Abraham came to Missouri in 1808, and settled first in St. Louis county. Abraham was in the War of 1812. He was married first to a Miss Lee, and second to Mary Trussell, of Tennessee. By his two wives he had -- Elizabeth, Jane, Polly, Peter, Ellen, Isabella, Mary, Rosa A., John, James, Cynthia A., Malinda J., Barbara L., William, Amanda R., and one other that died in childhood. Mr. Ellis was a member of the Methodist Church, and the first camp-meetings were held on his land, and for many years afterward camp-meetings were held there regularly. Religious services were also held in private houses, and Mr. Ellis was generally selected to announce the next appointment, which he would do from the top of a stump, in a loud voice, and would then add, "Bring along your guns and dogs, and make as big a show as you can." Peter Ellis settled in Boone county."

Nancy Smith, John Ellis, Abraham Ellis, William Ellis, Mary Davis, Elizebeth Harris, Elisha Ellis, James Ellis, Peter Ellis, Ann Young

1881 History of Boone County, MO, page 620: "Peter Ellis came in 1818, and brought the second, if not indeed the first, keel-boat that came up the Missouri. After the Ellises, came the Basses, and these in turn were followed by others from the grand old States of Virginia and Kentucky, till soon after Missouri's admission into the Union Cedar township had a population of considerable numbers."

Page 622, History of Boone County, MO. "When Peter Ellis, Sr., lived in Cedar in early times, seven Indians came to his house either on a plundering begging or stealing expedition, one or all being given to whichever of the above weakneses that circumstances most favored. "Boys," said Mr. Ellis to his sons, "go to the smoke-house, corn-crib and tobacco-house, and don't let 'em in." Abe went to the meat-house and posted himself inside. A squaw tried to force her way in, tempted by the thought of the well-cured hams hanging within. Abe tried to "hold her out," but she pushed him in and entered. He pushed her out and she fell backwards over the door-sill, which made all the other Indians laugh. They went off without doing any damage. Peter Ellis was a very determined old man, and had no notion of having his "truck" carried off by loafing Indians. Abe would have been rougher in keeping out the squaw, but was afraid of the Indians, thinking every minute his father might do or say something that would awaken their vengeance."

Page 649, History of Boone County, MO: "PETER ELLIS, Deceased. The subject of this sketch was born in Botetourt county, Virginia, April 1, 1778. He went with his father's family to Greenbrier county, and thence to Hawkins county, Tennessee. In 1800 he went to the Scioto Salt Works, and from there to St. Louis, which was then under Spanish rule. He was married on a sandbar near St. Charles, to Miss Eleanor Patterson, a Catholic priest officiating. Mr. Ellis moved to Boone county in 1818, where he lived until his death, January 27, 1849. They had ten children -- six sons and four daughters -- several of whose biographies appear in this volume."

"Wilfley-Pindall and Related Families" pp 14-17 states :

The parents of Elizabeth Rhodes were Samuel and Sarah Rhodes. Sarah Rhodes was previously married to the father of Peter, Abraham, John and William Ellis, who were born in Botetourt County Virginia, moved with their father's family to Greenbrier County, Virginia and then to Hawkins County, Tennessee where they lived at the time of John and Betty's marriage. Verification of this fact is provided by Barbara Lee Ellis Jamison, daughter of Abraham Ellis, who states, my father's half sister, Betsy Rhodes , married John Wilfley. It will also be noted that Samuel Wilfley , second son of John and Betsy Wilfley, married Nancy Ellis, third daughter of Abraham Ellis and a half sister to Barbara Lee Ellis Jamison. There is no further mention of John and William in this generation.

Biographies of Peter and Abraham Ellis state that Peter was born in Botetourt County, Virginia April 1, 1778 and died in Boone county, Missouri, January 17, 1849. Abraham Alice was born in Botetourt County Virginia in 1785 and died in Callaway county, Missouri in 1848.

The parentage of the Ellis's cannot be further detail except to reiterate a record for 1876 - the pioneer families of Missouri.The brothers migrated from their native Virginia to Hawkins County, Tennessee which places them in the locale with their half sister, Betsy Rhodes, who married John Wilfley. It is difficult to say just when they arrived in Missouri, Peter being at the Scioto salt works at 1800, married in Saint Charles and brought the first, if not this second, keel boat up the Missouri River in 1818 and settled in Boone County and 1817/1818. Abraham was with Peter a part of this time but enlisted in the Canadian war, or war of 1812 under Cathy McAllister and served until it's in. He came to what is now Callaway County Missouri in 1817 and probably arrived with Peter for they were close to one another.

His name does not appear on any extant tit he list, the latest available being 1703. He may have reached tithable a ge in 1704, with year of birth, 1688: Court records, Surry Co.(1691-1713 ), p. 362, show his appointment, 18 Apr 1711, with Thos. Bentley and Tho s.

About Jeremiah Ellis

On May 2, 1682, Jeremiah Ellis was sworn in as a sub-sheriff for Surry County, Virginia, having taken the oath of allegiance. The "Colonial Surry" book compiled by Bodie, includes a list of those reported in 1687 "as qualified in either estate or person to find and maintain a man and horse, or to go when occasion shall require." This list included both Jeremiah Ellis, Sr., and Jeremiah Ellis, Jr. This was a list for service in the Surry County Militia.

On January 5, 1690, Jeremiah, Sr., purchased 455 acres of land on the Johnshakon Swamp in Surry County from John Rawlings, with the original land patent endorsed over to him. Most of this land was later divided between his sons Jeremiah, Jr., and Edward. In 1694, this deed from Jeremiah Ellis to Edward, his son, names Jeremiah, Jr., as a brother to Edward. The land described is on the same county line as the Edward Ellis property of Jeremiah, Sr., and states;

"Surry County Va., Wills-Deeds, 1694-1715, Book 5, pages 33-34, MF 0034101.

Be it known to all men by these Presents that I Jeremiah Ellis Sr. do give unto my son Edward Ellis a certain Tract of Land about one hundred and seventy acres by estimation lying and being in Surry County upon John Chehoconk Swamp beginning at the Mouth of the Branch that runneth betwixt the said Edward his brother Jeremiah their plantations soe up ye branch to a marked pine at the head of the branch so along a row of marked trees and I the said Jeremiah Ellis Line did make to a pine in the line that runs N 41 W 160 chains so made it a corner tree and soe along that line to a black oake saplin a Corner bee between John Battell and ye said Edward Ellis and soe down a row of marked trees which I the said Ellis Sen. and John Battell did make to the John Chehoconk Swamp and soe downe the Swamp to the Mouth of the aforesaid Branch to the first station, the said Land I the said Jeremiah Ellis Sen. doe give to my son Edward Ellis to have and to hold to him the said Edward Ellis and his heirs or assigns forever, in as large and ample manner as is, grant in the Patton with his due shares of all mine Mineralls therein contained with all Rights and Privileges of hunting hawking fishing and fowling with all woods Waters and Rivers with all _______ conditions and hereditaments whatsoever belonging to the said Land to him the said Edward Ellis his heirs and assigns forever in as large and ample manner to all Intents and Purposes as witness my hand and Seale this Second day of March in the year of Our Lord 1694.

Testes. signed sealed and delivered in the presence of us with the words underlined in the third line about one hundred and seventy acres by estimation.

Att a Court held for the County of Surry March 5th 1694, This day appeared in Court the above named Jeremiah Ellis and acknowledge the above said to be his reall Act and Deede.

Test. W. Edwards CCrt"

Naming Edward as his son and providing him with a gift of 170 acres of land in this deed is another piece of evidence to prove Jeremiah was Edward's father. Jeremiah owned a considerable amount of real estate during his lifetime, and he disposed of most of it by deeds to his sons.

-- from Find a Grave: Jeremiah Ellis

Biography

Surry County deeds establish Jeremiah as a son of Edward. He is the only known son.

Early court record, land records, and tithe lists of Surry County , cited by Dixie McCrary, establish five sons for Jeremiah. Benjamin, b c1688, may have been a son of Jeremiah, b 1671/2.

Jeremiah owned a substantial amount of land in Surry County. He disposed of most of it in his lifetime, mostly to his sons.

He was sworn as sub-sheriff for Surry County on 2 MAy 1682.

Edward Ellis was first transported to the Colony of Virginia by Benjamin Carrill in or before 1636. The first entry in the land records of Virginia, identifying the arrival of Edward Ellis is found in Patent Book No 1 part 1 noted by Neil [sic] Marion Nugent in Cavaliers and Pioneers, p. 41[2], involving the claiming of headrights by one Nathan Martin. It is apparent from the registrations of patents by Martin and Carrill, listing Edward Ellis as one of the headrights, that Carrill had originally transported Ellis to Virginia in or prior to 1636 and had traded or sold the headrights to Nathan Martin in 1636, who, in turn, sold them back to Carrill in 1638.[3]
