Andrew Ellis served in Captain Moses Bates Company of Vermont Militia in the War of 1812 and in 1823 he was a corporal in that company. He married Dorcas Wolcott, daughter of Elijah Wolcott, his father's business partner. He is listed in the 1850 census as 50 years of age and in the 1860 census as 59. Andrew and Dorcas lived in Essex Junction, the town immediately adjacent to Colchester. They were living there in 1860. There is no record of their deaths so they apparently left Vermont after 1860.
