Mary Boggs Ellis is listed on 1870 Census of Gwinnett, as age 63, with daughter Vilater and son Isaac, Jr. Mary died March 11, 1897 in Gwinett County, Georgia
Several years ago, an old Bible was found near Gilmer County, Georgia and was brought into the newspaper office. No one in the county seemed to know who Isaac H. and Mary Ellis were. My cousin knew of my interest in genealogy, so she made a copy of the Bible's family record and sent it to me. I hoped to connect Isaac to the Walter Ellis family, but with no success until the Civil War letters between Stephen and Elijah Ellis of Gilmer County were located by descendant Dennis Rice, it was the first positive proof anyone had known that Isaac H. Ellis was son of Walter and Mary Ellis. (Lynda Ellis Gibbs)
