Diggingformyroots: May I inquire as to what branch of the Ellis family you are connected? You said that your Files were by marriage? My Kennedy connects to Ellis by marriage, that of Rhoda Ann Kennedy to Samuel Ellis, the son of David Ellis & Sarah Jane Farmer Ellis. Thanks, Jayne

Re: Roster of KENNEDY Company 1862 Wagon Train
LOL it has been so long since we "chatted" that I didnt' recognize the "handle". As soon as I read Gabe Paul, I knew it was you. Hope things are going well with you. Yes, the web of people in the train gets more tangled as we uncover more things. We go back to Old Frederick Co., VA, Let me know what new goodies you have uncovered about Gabe? Many families "raised" a daughter who had died, child. Sam and Frankey Kennedy raised their daughter Nancys son Sam'l. She had married Robert Eakin and died at childbirth. Robert kept in close touch, moving west with the Kennedys to IN & IL. Samuel Eakin died young and is buried next to the grandmother who raised him. Do you have my e-mail address? Keep in touch.

Re: Roster of KENNEDY Company 1862 Wagon Train
Not sure about this, but there is a chance my gg grandfather, John G Miller and his wife and 7 children were part of the Walker company that happened upon the Kennedy Company and helped out August 11th. John Miller was wounded.
Then, I understand, the Walker Company turned south and past Salt Lake, near Deep Creek, UT, John passed away.
Looking for sources (roster) of the Walker Company wagon train. mm
