- Thank you for all the information. I found the answer to my question about Bolling Ellis. I found Bolling Ellis's parents in the research my Aunt Dorthea Harrison Nottingham had done. I am pretty sure you and Gene copied this information when we got together a little over a year ago. Bolling Ellis was the son of William Ellis, Jr. Of Sussex. Bolling Ellis first married Elizabeth Ann Velvin of Surry on December 30, 1819. Bolling Ellis second marriage was to Henrietta W. Holleman on 9 December 1852. Bolling Ellis will was probated 9/24/1872. In it he left property to his wife then Henrietta for her lifetime, son James Bolling Ellis after Henrietta's death, Ann R. Harrison was bequeathed land formerly belonging to Benjamin Ellis and to son John T. Ellis. Mill and Mill seat also bequeathed to John T. Does it make sense that the property belonged to the Velvin's before the Ellis's?

| Notes |
- William Ellis and Martha Ellis were second cousins, once removed.
From The Ellis Line From Surry-Sussex, Virginia (1978) by Dixie L.McCrary, page 163: "The will of William Ellis, Jr., dated 3 Jan. 1808,pr. 4 Feb. 1808 (Will Bk. G, p. 116), left his plantation (446 acres) tohis wife, Patty, for her lifetime or widowhood, and for the support oftheir children (not listed by name). Instructions were given for use orhire of his nine negroes (listed by name). His Brother, Wright Ellis,named as Excr., and guardian of 'all my children.' Following the deathof Wright Ellis (c. 1821), John Velvin became the guardian of the children, Thomas and Patsey Ellis. An account of Patsey Ellis, orphan ofWilliam Ellis, dec'd, shown on p. 71, Guardian Accounts, 1821-1834,mentions her brothers, James and Archer. The names of the children ofWilliam and Martha Ellis are established from deed of 30 Mar. 1829(Sussex Deed Bk. P)." Also from above source: "The will implies that all of the children wereunder age in 1808, and it is supposed none was born before 1788. Censusrecords indicating approximate years of birth have been found for allexcept Caleb, probably the eldest and possibly born in 1788."
