either Hugh, Jr. or HBT.

15. Family Notes. Information found on WFT Vol 6, Tree 3092, Adelene B. Watts
wrote; "The family, which came from Maryland, appears in the records of Rowan
Co., NC, as early as 1784, in the Dutchman Creek area.
Samuel, Sr., was
probably born around 1730, according to the DAR Patriot Index, p. 219. From old
letters, it is indicated he was born in 1721. He resided in Frederick Co., MD.,
and Rowan Co., NC. Note says he died in 1806. NC records say 1801. His
Revolutionary service is found in Vol. A, p. 12, Accounts of US with NC in
Revolutionary War.
A son of Samuel Ellis, Sr., Solomon Ellis, and his wife,
Margaret, sold land to Larkin Dorsy on July 30, 1791, of 92 acres, the remainder
of the 100-acre tract bought from Joshua Fuller. The deed to Larkin Dorsey
mentions the 8 acres as having been sold to Joseph Dorsey. The coincidence is
that Larkin Dorsey is the brother of our Dorsey ancestor from the Hallman family
tree!
Children of Samuel and Mary: Sons: Solomon, James, Joshua, Zephaniah,
and Samuel, Jr. Daughters: Jemimah Wilson, Kesiah Greenfiel, Cassandra Summers,
and Ann Summers

Subject: Re: [MDFR] Ellis family of Fredericks
Co., MD -
In l72l the birthplace of Samuel Ellis would have been Prince
George's county. In l748 became Frederick County, Samuel Ellis was on the second
Court held in the new county, Grand Jury of June court l749. The part that the
Ellis' lived in on 1776 Census was Montgomery County, formed from Frederick
County in 1776.
"Inhabitants of Frederick County Maryland" Vol l gives a
Court Record of l750 reciting a case of Rachel Sprigg v. James Ellis, planter of
Frederick county for failure to pay note in l748.
There are a handful of
the Ellis mentioned in "Revolutionary Patriots of Montgomery County" including
Samuel age 55, who had two taxables l776.
Another Samuel was private in
North Carolina militia born l762, born Fred. Co lived Ky,N.C and Missouri
recited in "Marylanders to Kentucky" and Revolutonary Patriots of Montgomery
County.
One Samuel's daughter Cassandra was widow of William Summers when
she married humphrey Beckett Tomlinson.
There is probably much much more
on this line. I found this much in about 5 minutes. You will probably find
information in Prince George's county, Frederick and Montgomery county
records.

Have you seen the
book "Marylanders to Carolina" by Peden? Possibly there is something in there on
him. There is also a followup "More Marylanders to Carolina" also by Peden. -
