I am sorry but none of those names ring any bells for me except for Nathaniel Eells. I do have my mother's Eells family line. They started out in Plymouth Mass in 1622, some lived in Conn later on and many lived in New York. Several Nathaniel Eells were graduates of Harvard. My ancestor Nathaniel Eells was born in Milford Conn. on Nov. 26, 1677, graduated from Harvard, he was married to Hannah North, aunt of Lord North, prime minister of England.. He died His grandson was Waterman Eells who was a Revolutionary soldier that died in the Battle of Bennington in 1777 but he was on the N.Y. side of Lake Champlain. There are a lot of Eells that were from Pierrepont N.Y and my great grandfather was from Peru N.Y There is an Eells Cemetary in Pierrepont N.Y. Some Eells are buried at the Beechplains Cemetary in Pierrepont. I do know there were a number of Nathaniel Eells but I do not info on them....just my 6th (?) great grandfather. Eells can also be found in Lanesboro Mass and Plymouth and Dorchester. My Nathaniel Eells parents were Major Samuel Eells and Ann Lenthol. Samuel was born in Dorchester, spent his boyhood in England then retunred to America and settled in Milford Conneticut. He founded the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity at Hamilton College in Clinton N.Y.
