ISO descendents of the children of Andrew J. Ellison who lived in Wells County & Parke
Co, IN during the late 1800's and early 1900's. Here are the names of the
children in the order they were born: John W., William W., Ida Rosabelle, Alexander P.,
Nancy Ann, Reason Alonzo, & Mary E. F. Virginia. Mary Virginia, who aka-Virginia
married a man named Frank Fetty.
I recently received a copy of my gr-gr-grandfather's Civil War pension file and I have
discovered that John W., William W. & Alexander P. Ellison gave testimony in the form
of depositions during the investigation into my gr-gr-grandmother's Widow's
pension claim filed in 1913. These depositions took place in early 1915. By 1915, Nancy
Ann was dead & Virginia was married to Frank Fetty. In 1915, John W. was 59, William
W. was 57, & Alexander P. was 52, & with the exception of John they all lived
within miles of each other in Keystone, Wells Co., IN. John W. lived in Rockville, Parke
Co., IN by January, 1915.
I am trying to locate these descendents in order to share with them some info from my
gr-gr-grandfather's pension file that should be of great interest to them, because it
contains some Ellison family history that will probably not be found else where. [
FYI-John W. Ellison stated that his aunt was married to Charles M. HOwell, who was a JP in
Parke Co.]
