Ely or Eli Ellis and Sophia Fenner had 3 children that I know of . They are found as a family in the 1850 census
of Caroline twp, Tompkins County, NY as follows:

Eli Ellis 33 NY
Sophia 28 NY
Henry C. Ellis 6 NY
Margary Ellis 2 NY
Charles A. Ellis 1 NY

Charles & Henry both end up in Michigan by the time the Civil War begins. I have not found Margary or Eli anywhere as of yet.

Henry's death record records his mother's maiden name as Fenner.

Is anyone working on the Goldsmith, Ellis or Fenner family lines?
