I always wondered if Ellwood was part of my Grissoms or the Griscoms because several times I saw him listed with that spelling. I thought it was possible he might have been Thomas' son because in 1840 there were several males living with Thomas but by 1850 he had just the girls. They sent the boys out to work so young back then plus the mortality rates were high. So you could't know if they had died or were elsewhere. You can e-mail at eew619@aol.com Donna
