***Daniel Ellis***, the oldest child of James Ellis, was born in North Carolina,
the year 1779, of Welch parentage. He had one brother named Jacob and two
sisters named Melvina and Mary Ann, both younger than Jacob. Daniel was but a
boy when his father died and was "bound out" or apprenticed, to a man who
afterward moved to South Carolina taking Daniel with him. But when he was grown
he returned to Chatham County, North Carolina, and at the age of thirty years
married Abigail Gifford, the only daughter of Levi Gifford. She was born October
22, 1790. Her father was Scotch and her mother came from Holland. Abigail had
three brothers. The oldest was Jesse and the second Peleg and the third was
Levi, who was younger than Abigail. Daniel Ellis and Abigail Gifford were
married Sept. 17, 1809. About the year 1815 they moved to Orange County,
Indiana, as also did the Gifford family where they all afterward lived and died.
Abigail Gifford Ellis died Dec. 7, 1827, leaving eight children, as follows:
Levi G. Ellis, 17 years old, James 15, Jesse 13, Mary Ann 11, Elizabeth 9,
Marvin 6, Margaret 3, and Sarah Jane 1. Eight years later Daniel Ellis married
Sarah Brown and to them were born two sons, John W. in 1836 and Wm. B. in 1838.

County, Ind., where also were buried Abigail, 1827, and her father in 1832, and
