JOHN G. ELLIS
JOHN G. ELLIS born June 26, 1819 died July 17, 1887
in Missouri and ROBERT B. ELLIS BORN 1816 at Boones Creek Washington Co., Tennessee were sons of Jacob M and Letitia Cowan Ellis but I have yet to find good information about them. The only thing I have is their names as witness to a deed between Letitia Ellis and William W. Ellis dated 1838. I do have a wife Rebecca for John G Ellis and a son John M Ellis born 1849. Would love hearing from anyone about the two brothers. Jacob had two brothers John and Robert who may be mixed up with the nephews.
Deed that shows Robert and John Ellis as witness to the deed between their mother Letitia and their brother William W. Ellis ; all three brothers were soon to get married and later made their way to Missouri and beyond
