In Response To: Re: war casualties ??? ()

I ran a search in the American Civil War Database of all Ellis's in Alabama and Mississippi units, below is the tally of all those known as not surviving the war, less those already discussed and one whose wife's name was Caroline.

There are contributions to these records made by a R. Ross Houston. Perhaps he is studying the geneological records of the Ellis line. Contacting the Historical Data Systems, Inc., you may be able to get Houston's address who may be able to help you in your efforts.
