From "Ely, Revell, Stacye Families", by Reuban Pownall Ely et al, 1910, Fleming H. Revell Company, pp 162 & 171" the death date of Thomas Ely (b. is about 1814 which makes his age then 79 rather than the 105. See my web site at http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~elyfamily for more on Ely Families.

Paul McLeod — 7 Apr 2004 2:03:53 GMT

Hi- I live in Land O' Lakes, WI where James O. Ely built a summer home around 1910. I know that he was a dentist in Winnetka, I know that he spent most of his summers up here between 1910 and his death in the late 1930s, and I know his son, Dinsmore was killed in action in WWI. If anyone has any more specific info on James or Dinsmore, then please let me know. This is an attempt to document Ely history in this community for a local history project. Thank you.

James, Mary A or E and Willard Ely

Bawden4 — 26 Sep 2008 8:34:35 GMT

Birth: 1820, USA
Death: Jan. 24, 1890 Davenport, Scott County, Iowa, USA

70yo married, no COD, interred 19 Feb 1897
removed from Davenport's City Cemetery, no reburial info.

This is what I have from the Davenport, Scott, IA Oakdale Memorial Gardens database. I have Elys in my tree and don't know if he's related.

Could anybody fill in dates and places for me - and the database? I'm guessing there's no marker since it was a reburial. I'll check section 7, lot 168 where he's buried with Mary A or E and Willard. I have no history on these two, either.

I do find-a-grave and will post a lot photo before the snow flies.

James Victor Ely m. Sarah R Loomis 1874, Hudson NY

bcoug — 12 Sep 2008 9:49:26 GMT

Trying to verify this marriage, and that Sarah was daughter of Eli and Mary Lambert. Might she have had a brother, Albert who married Mary Clark in 1873. Mary was daughter of Geo W Clark and wife Julia Comfort Clark. Julia C. Clark was the aunt of James Victor Ely whose mother was Charlotte Comfort. The Comforts and the Clarks lived in Delhi, Delaware County, NY.

Ely / Ealy/ Ehle/ Eilors etc

JaneDey_Vincent — 8 Sep 2008 4:26:32 GMT

Searching for descendants of the folowing folks:

Ulderich Eley and wife Eva Tabaek Eley , arriving Pa. on the ship Allen on 11 Sept 1729 and qualified on 15 Sept 1729.
Also listed Conrad Iller, Margaret Iller, Elizabeth Iler, Maria Iler, and Caterina Iler.Children on the ship were not listed with ages.

Nichell ( Nicholas ) Elie age 27, arrived on the Winter Galley , 5 Sept 1738 to Pa..

Christian Eley, age 49, and Hans David Eley,age 20, arrived Pa. on the ship Loyal Judith on 25 Sept 1732.

Johan Georg Eyler arrived Pa. on the Townsend on 5 Oct 1737

Dieterich Uhle and Valentine Uhle arrived Pa. on the Charming Nancy on 8 Oct 1737.

Note that each and every one of these very americanized spellings are spelled Oellen on the Oaths of allegiance, regardless of the names given to them by either the ship master or harbor master upon disembarking. Because of this it is pretty safe to assume that they all at some point before their travels carried the same surname. And no one by the name Oellen can be found in Pa. subsequent to these arrivals. They are variously called Ely or Eilor.

I am searching for Henry Ely, listed in Bern Co., Pa. on a tax list as a turner, meaning he made furniture and had a lathe.
He married Christena Caterina Ketner in abt 1776 Christ Little Trinity Church at Tulpehocken. They left Pa. probably after the death of her parents and went to Va. and subsequently to Tn.
Needing to find a christening or baptismal record giving the names of his parents.

Rescued Photo, ELY, CHAMBERS, STANDLEY Surnames, Iowa

KBarnes1958 — 15 Feb 2008 12:00:48 GMT

As a hobby, I rescue old photos, that have identification on them. I recently picked up two from an auction. Both were taken in Iowa.

This one has a man & woman on it, and on the back is written: Mama Mr. & Mrs. E.E. Ely. Mrs. Ely was Francis Chambers, daughter of Francis Standley Chambers and William Chambers. The person I acquired it from said it was taken in Iowa.

This has to be probably taken in the late 1800s. Very nice portrait of a serious couple.

I'd like to find family for this photo. For details, contact me at: digginroots@yahoo.com

Her husband was John H. Kull. Her obituary mentions two sisters and one brother: Mrs. Eabel Ely, Mrs. Frank Campbell of Sharon Hill, and brother John Davie of Naty-Glo, PA. She had six children. I wonder if anyone has any connections here, and if so more information about the first names of the two sisters. I am mostly interested in the parents and where they all came from.

ELY - CHURCH Family Photograph

John_in_Racine_WI — 24 Jul 2006 3:17:23 GMT

I tought this might be a good place to post this message i saw on the Oregon Board;

From: "Shelley Cardiel" <cardiels@comcast.net>
I've "rescued" an old photograph of Nelly ELY of Walla Walla, Washington.
The photograph was taken at the Maxwell Studio in Walla Walla, WA sometime
in the early 1900's with Nelly appearing to be in her teens or early 20's at
the time. In addition to her name, someone has also written "later Mrs.
Carl CHURCH of Portland, Oregon" on the back of the photograph.

Based on limited research I was able to find the CHURCH Family living in
Portland, OR during both the 1910 and 1920 census as follows:

1910 census:
Carl G. CHURCH, age 29, married 7 years, born OR, parents born ?, a Street
Car Conductor

Nillie CHURCH, wife, age 26, married 7 years, 3 children/3 living, born OH,
parents born OH

Corbly CHURCH, son, age 5, born WA

Randall CHURCH, son, age 3, born WA

John CHURCH, son, age 2, born WA

Mary ELY, Mother-in-law, age 46, a widow, 1 child/1 living, born OH, parents
born OH

1920 census:
Carl G. CHURCH, age 39, born OR, parents born WI/OH, City Dock
Superintendent

Nellie C. CHURCH, wife, age 36, born OH, parents born OH

Corbtey C. CHURCH, son, age 15, born WA

Randall M. CHURCH, son, age 13, born WA

John W. CHURCH, son, age 12, born WA

I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to the care of the family. If you are a member
of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley

ELY (several different) in 1929 Richmond, VA yearbook

RE: The Marshallite, 1929 John Marshall High School yearbook (Richmond, VA)

Ely, Dorothy Elizabeth (Dot)
Ely, Frances Louise

This yearbook lists the members of the Senior class of 1929, faculty members, members of the Corps of Cadets, and many members of various clubs (not all). Unfortunately, it does not list the names of the members of the Junior, Sophomore or Freshmen classes (only officers listed for those classes).

I extracted all of the names (& some other information) from the yearbook & have put them on my genealogy web site (total of 13 web pages, containing over 1,900 records; sorted alphabetically by surname).

The link to the first page of these extracts on my web site is:

Or it can be accessed through the "General Research" link on the main page at:

Please note that I put all kinds of genealogy information on my web site, not just data about the families I am researching. I hope the information I've put online helps someone with their research . . .

Henry Ely

JOYCEWICKS75 — 13 Nov 2004 9:16:17 GMT

Henry Ely b 1810-1820, Ohio or PA (I had Solebury, PA, but THAT Henry Ely had the wrong set of children, I followed that family from PA to IL) Our Henry was married to Mary Bekke Sandoff or Standoff and had the following children:Rebecca, Henry, George, Rachel, Mary (Maria), John Melvin, Joseph, Elipheus and Sylvester.

Eventually our Eley family settled in the Pacific NW.

On the way to the Pacific NW:

I found Henry Ely and family in 1860 in Clinton County, IA and 1870 in Jackson County, Iowa.

In 1880 the rest of family including John, Mary, (mother), Rachel, Joseph, Mary, Elifeus or Elepheus and Slyvester were found in Kingman County, Kansas, on the census, but there was NO HENRY. [We thought he died in Peoria, IL, but that Henry Ely/Eley was the wrong one, That Henry was the one that started in Solebury, Pennsylvania]

SO, the mystery is WHAT HAPPENED TO our HENRY Eley?

In about 1881 Elepheus Eley/Ely married Elizabeth Jane Webb. We believe that occured in Webb City, Jasper County, Missouri. It's not known if just Elepheus Eley or the whole family was there at that time.

My husband's grandmother, Ida Maude Eley was born in 1884 in Twin Creek, Wyoming. She was the daughter of Elipheus Eley, and grandchild of Henry and Mary Ely. The story is they went to Washington/Oregon over the Oregon Trail through Naches Pass. Other children were also born on the migration.

Thanks for any help.
