OUR ELLSWORTH ANCESTORS
The American ancestors of DAVID, GERMAN, and EDMUND LOVELL ELLSWORTH, the
subjects of the present writing, began, so far as we can determine, with
Sergeant JOSIAH ELLSWORTH of Windsor, Connecticut. The first authentic
record of JOSIAH is his marriage to ELIZABETH HOLCOMB, 16 November, 1654.
Reference is made by some writers that JOSIAH was born 7 August, 1629 in
Cambridgeshire, England, the son of Sir JOHN ELLSWORTH and LUCIA BOWER.
(Not confirmed). Sir JOHN may have been the son of Lord JOHN, or the son
of DAVID. In any case JOSIAH was probably a descendant of Sir SIMON de
ELLSWORTH, who was born about 1235 in England. He is reported to have
been a "Justice" in the court of King EDWARD I from 1271 to the time of
his death in 1291. A descendant of Sir SIMON is mentioned in Savage's
"General Dictionary, Wills and Abstracts" as having been born in 1323.
From that date to 1590 we find no record other than the birth of Lord
JOHN ELLSWORTH, between 1570 and 1590. Sir JOHN, probably
Page 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the son of Lord JOHN, is reported to have come to America in 1634, later
returning to England where he died in 1649.
JOSIAH came to America in about 1646, at the age of seventeen. He made
his home in Windsor, Connecticut. He was made a "Freeman" by court order,
21 May 1657. Previous to his marriage JOSIAH purchased property from ALEX
ALFORD (19 March 1654). He and his family lived at this place until it
was sold to CORNELIUS GILLET in 1658 at the time JOSIAH purchased a lot
from WILLIAM PHELPS. Several years later, in 1664 or 1665, JOSIAH
purchased from JOANNA DAVISON the property which has come to be known as
the "ELLSWORTH HOMESTEAD." The place, also known as "ELMWOOD," was deeded
in 1903 by the heirs of Chief Justice OLIVER ELLSWORTH to the Connecticut
Daughters of the American Revolution, who maintain the property as a
colonial historical landmark and a museum of revolutionary relics.

Because of the fact that JOSIAH was our first American ancestor, and that
the "ELLSWORTH HOMESTEAD" has become so well known, we include the
following:
"Extracts From Original Deed to Josiah Ellsworth, 1665. Attest copy of
extracts from the original deed furnished in 1907 by the Town Clerk of
Windsor, March 31st 1665. Josiah Ellsworth hath by purchas Land here in
Windsor that formerly was Frances Styles's and then from him to Robert
Silkinstol then purchased by Master Daveson, and now made over to Josiah
Ellsworth by Joanna Davison, the Widow and Relieb and Sold Executrix to
the Said Mr. Davison, Decd, Vidilleset the Dwelling house orchard, with
that part of the home Lott, which is on the East Side of the Street, in
bredth Eighteen rod, and now bounded North, by the Land partaining to the
children of William Gaylord, Decd. South by the Land of Henry Styles ....
Also four acres more or Less of meadow butting the home Lott, and bounds
North by the Land of the Children aforesd, South by the meadow of Henry
Styles, Easterly by the brook, according as it runs down to the River and
a Little part by the River ... Whereas that part of the home Lott as Lyes
on the East Side of the Street, being not found, to have the bredth of
Eighteen rods by the Street, but fifteen and a half, it is now upon Trial
found, that the first proprietors Frances Styles and William Gaylord, now
both Decd had made Some Exchange, betwixt them for what is wanting in
bredth, by the Street, is over and above its first bredth, next the
meadow, So that Josiah Ellsworth takes up as Satisfied with it ... as it
now is bounded and the fence Stands ... April 5th 1666, Witnessed by me
Mathew Grant, Register."
We do not know -- unless it was JOHN -- which owner built the spacious
colonial house which has occupied the site for many years. The main part
of the house was probably built about 1740. The south "ell" is of a later
period and may have been built by OLIVER ELLSWORTH.
JOSIAH served frequently as a juror, according to the records of the
Secretary of State, at Hartford. He served in other public offices of
trust, which attest the character of the man. JOSIAH was the owner of
thirteen different pieces of land, totaling about two thousand acres. One
of the three fort palisades at Windsor was known as the ELLSWORTH FORT.
At this place women and children sought refuge from possible Indian
attacks. At the time of his death, 20 August, 1689, at the age of sixty,
JOSIAH was considered to be in the upper group, financially. His will,
probated 11 November, 1689, listed his property at about $3000. Judging
from the inventory of the estate, JOSIAH may have been a weaver.
The fact that our mothers have contributed equally with our fathers to
our inherited characteristics suggests that we record as
