"David ELLER (b. Apr. 11, 1796, d. Mar. 18, 1870) left North Carolina in 1828 for Wayne Co., Ind., and from there, about 1838 or 1839 to Jefferson Co., Iowa. David ELLER had a good farm in Iowa of about 200 acres close to Cedar Creek. His homestead was later known as the old Marion Tracy farm, 2 1/2 miles southeast of Brookville in Jefferson County. He erected a fine pioneer home which was unusually spacious for the times, and established a large bearing orchard. Apparently his letters 'back home' inspired many of his North Carolina relatives to hasten westward. The large family of his nephew, Harvey ELLER (b. Mar. 24, 1819, d. Nov. 3, 1906), arrived by wagon at his home in Late November, 1852. Many more arrived both before and after the Civil War, each family using the home of either David ELLER or Harvey ELLER as a resting place until they either located a home of their own or moved on to other states...."
