Misc. Notes
Jacob 3 Ellis was born about 1690. (a date of birth 1698 also given in Gwendolyn Patton Inman genealogy).
Jacob is believed to be the Jacob ELLIS of Harwich who married Elizabeth FOSTER 20 August 1724 in Pembroke, Massachusetts. She appears to be the daughter of Josiah and Sarah FOSTER, both of Pembroke. She was born Nov.1698 in Pembroke and baptized there 19 Jan 1713. In 1726 Jacob ELLIS is listed as a householder in the Second School District, east of the Sauquatuckett River (also called Stoney Brook) and somewhat removed from the Sixth District where the other Ellis families lived. Some of his family moved to Dutchess County, New York and stayed there.
Others moved to Pennsylvania, on to South Carolina, migrating then to Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois and out to Iowa.
They kept in touch with their New York relatives, however, as the grandson of Simeon ELLIS, son of Jacob Ellis, Sr.,moved to New York and died there. Two of his nieces, daughters of Levi ELLIS, also went to New York to live.
