  • Notes 

    • Henry's will shows he died wealthy but without heirs. His will clearly mentions brothers and nephews and leaves the bulk of his estate to them and his wife Jane. He leaves his wife half his land and 16 Negro slaves. (Wythe County, VA Will Book 5, p.194)
      The absence of children in his will suggests he and Jane had none.
      There are apparently at least two and maybe three Henry Ellers about this time. There is THIS Henry, son of Christian, brother to Frederick and half-brother to George. And there appears to be a Henry, who is George's son. And there is a Henry in Rowan County who died about 1805 with very young children.
      The other -- as yet unplaced Henry -- is shown as id. number 14,638.
