I am at present quite skeptical of claims that Thomas Ellis who married Jane Hugh was a
son of Rowland Ellis of Bryn Mawr. In his book /Merion in the Welsh Tract/ Glenn devotes
an entire to chapter to Rowland Ellis. As far as I can tell that chapter does not once
mention a son named Thomas. Also, the level of wealth appears to be quite different
between the two men.
I am also descended from
Thomas Ellis and Jane Hugh
Ellin Ellis and Thomas Lee
Jane Lee and Moses Roberts
Aaron Roberts and Elizabeth Lundy
Aaron Roberts and Matilda Farquhar
Elizabeth Roberts and Stephen Smith
Aaron Thomas Smith and Rachel M Dewees
Irving James Smith (my grandfather)
