Benjamin Ellis II
1715 – 1773
Father: 1688-1759 Benjamin Ellis I 19 Jan 1759
Mother: 1692-1750 Elizabeth Rogers 20 Nov 1750
Spouse: 1715-1787 Mary Underhill
Marriage: 1734 Virginia
birth: about 1715
Surry County, Virginia
death: about 1773
Pitt County, North Carolina
•*¨*••*¨*•
Bought 320 acres of land in Pitt County, North Carolina December 15, 1752, later bought an additional 200 acres.
From The Ellis Line From Surry-Sussex, Virginia (1978) by Dixie L.McCrary, page page 133: "His will [Benjamin Ellis I] made 3 Dec. 1758,pr. 19 Jan. 1759 (Sussex Will Bk. A, p. 112), leaves to his "Dear and Loving Wife," (name not given), the plantation for her natural life, and names his sons: William, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Benjamin and Joseph (see Summary on each), and daughters, Mary Proctor, Priscilla Blow, Sarah Andrews, Susanna Andrews and Elizabeth Moreing."
Also from same source, page 137: "He received the 'Great Bible' under his father's will.
Whether he had received other settlement earlier is not known. The 'Great Bible,' in that day of few and costly books may have had a commercial value equal to that of property left other heirs. In any event, this Bible was certainly a family treasure, and the son who received it was especially honored.
It would be interesting to know its history and whether it had come to Benjamin I from his father or an earlier ancestor.
No doubt, Benjamin carried it with him when he left Surry-Sussex, first to live in Isle of Wight (Southampton) Co., and later when he moved to Beaufort ([...]) Co., N.C. Perhaps it was kept by descendants for two or three generation; it seems too much to hope that it has been preserved until today and is now the prized possession of some descendant. It it has been kept, it is hoped it will come to light, with family records to establish a clear and complete record of the branch descended form this Benjamin II."
