I have several webpages and building a new one at Tripod so people won't
have difficulty getting into the site.
Eller Family History lists Henry Eller & Mary Ann Cable and their
descendants. It also contains a 1956 letter from Dr. W. Arthur Cable of
the University of Arizona about the grandfather, parents and a little
Cable history for Mary Ann. The website's located at:

familes. It's located at:

Henry Eller lived in Montgomery & Miami Counties, Ohio near his parents
and grandparents. These counties broke up into several new counties
about 1846 and the 2 counties became 5 counties. The area Henry lived
in became Darke County (2 1/2 miles from present day Bradford, Ohio).
Henry and Mary Ann Cable obtained a marriage license in Miami County,
Ohio (I found the documents); but I could not find their marriage
recorded (not unusual).
They raised and were raising their childen near Bradford before the
Civil War. At the outbreak of the war their sons Martin and John (my gg
grandfather) join the Union Army (Martin joined an Ohio unit, John
joined an Indiana unit). Shortly before the end/or shortly after the
end of the war Henry and Mary Ann followed the Brethren to Grant County,
Indiana. John and most of his siblings followed them.
In the latter 1800s Henry and Mary, their son John and his wife Harriet
(Hattie) Miller and their children, along with Henry's youngest brother
Malhon went to North Dakota with the Brethren (near Rocklake, North
Dakota). The Dakotas were trying to get settlers there and were giving
away 160 acre sections as homesteads and large numbers of Brethren took
up the challenge.
About 1900 Henry and Mary Ann, with their son John, moved to White
County, Indiana (with John's children staying in North Dakota). Henry
and Mary Ann are buried in Monticello, White County, Indiana; John is
buried 7 miles away in Burnettesville, White County, Indiana.
