3. Allin Ellis
One son, Allin, father of our subject, was the seventh son. He was twelve years of age when he came to Canada, and was reared on the home farm. He was a natural physician, and held in much requisition in early days, as he proved himself a valuable friend to the sick. When the War of 1812 broke out the grandfather and his sons offered their services to assist in repelling the invading foe, but the former was seized with camp fever, and compelled to return home. His wife, in washing his clothes, contracted the disease and died of it.
Allin Ellis was one of these volunteers, and drove a yoke of oxen at the battle of Lundy's Lane, serving under the command of captain Thomas Perrin, nicknamed "Barefoot," because, on training days, he was wont to drill his company in his bare feet.
Allin was engaged in farming till the day of his death, in September, 1849. He married Hannah Sturgis, from Pennsylvania, who died February 15th, 1874. She was a daughter of Amos Sturgis, of Upper Miriam, Chester County, Pennsylvania, who was a Captain in the Continental army, Under General Washington. Rachel Randall, her mother, was born in Philadelphia, in 1757, died in 1814. Amos Sturgis was a son of thomas Sturgis, also a native of Philadelphia, born there in 1722, died in 1802; and those two sons, Amos and Thomas Sturgis, came to Canada along with the Ellis family.

10. William Ellis
WILLIAM ELLIS, farmer, Township of South Dumfries, is a native of
Waterloo, County, Ontario, and was born 14th April, 1818. His father was
one of the first settlers in this section of Canada, having emigrated
from his native land, Ireland, at a very early day. He died in South
dumfries Township about the year 1845, and his wife who was from
Pennsylvania, died also in South Dumfries, February, 1866. They were
married in Canada, and settled in Waterloo County originally, but
finally moved to South dumfries. William Ellis, our subject, married in
1839, Hannah Howell, born in South dumfries, 19th June, 1821, died 12th
December, 1853; she was a daughter of Jonah Howell. Mr. Ellis again
married , taking for his second wife Jane Cushnaghan, born in Ireland,
20th September, 1831, and a daughter of Edward Cushnaghan. She was only
two years of age when she left Ireland for Canada with her parents; her
father died, 8th November, 1881. Mr. Ellis, and both his first and
second wife were members of the Baptist Church, and he himself has acted
as School Trustee for several terms. By his first wife he had a family
of eight children, of whom five survive, viz., Jonah, Mary, Sarah, Alice
M. and Hannah. The deceased are Margaret, Catharine and an infant. By
his second marriage were born five, all living- James H., Edward,
Judson, William S. and Frank L. Success has closely attended Mr. Ellis'
perseverance and industrial habits, for from nothing comparatively he
has become owner of 198 acres improved land, with fine buildings, and
this he has acquired since coming into the County of Brant.

Submission Search: 2555426-0801104082145ELLIS, William m. CUSHNAGHAN, Jane: S. Dumfries, 185?
I am looking for information on this marriage, and for any descendants
of this couple, researchers, etc. , who were apparently well-to-do
farm owners in the 1860's, north east of St George, Ontario.
Jane is a g-grand aunt, and I am hoping that an ELLIS researcher may
have come across some collateral information on her, such as location
of birth (more specific than "Ireland", per the 'History of Brant
County', 1881), or information on her mother, or siblings.With thanks

4. David Ellis
David Ellis and wife, Margaret, originally settled in Waterloo County. Later, they moved to a farm located two miles north of St. George in South Dumfries Township, County of Brant, Ontario.
St. George
The first office-bearers of the Dumfries Agricultural Society were as
follows: President, Mr. William Dickson; Vice-Presidents, Mr. David
Buchanan, Mr. Absalom Shade; Treasurer, Mr. Aeneas B. Gordon; Secretary,
Mr. John Miller. The Directors were Messrs. John Thomson, Allan
Henderson, John Telfer, Hiram Capron, Robert Kirkwood, Daniel
Macpherson, Robert Christie, George Stanton, David Ellis, John
Gowinloch, John Mackenzie, Thomas rich, Robert Ballingel, H. V. S. Mans,
John McNaught, William Brittain, James Geddes, and William Batters. The
social effects of the formation of this society so soon after the
troubles which, in 1837, had in so many instances set neighbour against
neighbour, were of the greatest value in the bringing back a happier
time. Men of such opposite politics as Absalom Shade or H. V. S. Mans
and Hiram Capron were brought together on the safe ground of a
non-political topic, yet one which honest men of both parties must
rejoice to further for the benefit of their common country. Yet it is
not the least indicative sign how all men were then "treading on the
fires smouldering beneath the treacherous ashes," to read in the last
rule adopted by the society, the following: "Politics shall be carefully
excluded at any meeting of the society, whether general or of committee,
on pain of the expulsion of the member who shall attempt to introduce
the same."
