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 |
- from Brenda Duckwall:
The Harrison Home is at 3840 Otterdam Road in Surry County.
The land where the home is located and about 1000 acres belonged to our Ellis ancestors from the early 1600's. The land and original home was given by Bolling Ellis to his daughter and our ancestor Ann Rebecca Ellis who married Joshua Simmons Harrison. It was passed down or purchased by sons and daughters: William Franklin Harrison, Joshua James Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Jr., and presently to Julian R. Harrison III and his sister, Robin Harrison Mitchell.
This is from the Surry County Historical Society:
The Harrison Farm
located at 3840 Otterdam Road
Surry County, Virginia
"The following information has been researched by Julian R. Harrison, Jr.
The Harrison Farm was once owned by Bolling Ellis. The Ellises were in Surry County as early as 1667. The original farm consisted of 760 +/- acres. Ann Rebecca Ellis married Joshua Simmons Harrison April 1, 1848 in Surry, Virginia. She inherited the farm from her father, Bolling Ellis.
Joshua James Harrison inherited his part of the farm from his father, William Franklin Harrison, in 1907, and bought the remaining shares from other family members….."
I don't know where Julian received the information whether it was Court records, Wills, or passed down information. He seemed to check things carefully.
I may have given you a copy of this information with a picture of the house and farm.
Court Records or a Will might firm up the proof….

- Robin Lecia Harrison Mitchell April 26 at 9:10am
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?
