ROBERT ELLIS

ROBERT B ELLIS born 1816 at Boones Creek, Washington Co., Tennessee to Jacob M and Letitia Cowan Ellis. We know he was at home in 1838 when he signed as a witness the deed of Letitia to William W. Ellis. So many Robert Ellis found in records in Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa? Jacob M Ellis had a brother named John who named a son Robert B Ellis which may have researchers getting the names mixed up with the two sons of Jacob M Ellis named Robert and John G. Ellis
