Carlton,

Lewis ELLZEY had only two sons: William by his first wife Elizabeth TRAVERS and Thomasin by his second wife Mary. Thomasin never married or had any direct descendants. William had two sons Lewis and William.

Where is Burial of Lewis Ellzey in Fairfax? Posted by: Anne Date: February 18, 2002 at 09:51:16 In Reply to: Re: Lewis Ellzey whom married Elizabet Travers Cave by Janet McKenney of 134

Lewis Ellzey died in Fairfax County VA circa 1786-1787 , as he wrote his will October 17, 1786. (This taken from several researchers) It is noted he was a vestryman in the Pohick Church of Fairfax. Is Lewis Ellzey buried in the Pohick Church Cemetery?

I am reading Volume V "Fairfax County Virginia Gravestones" Pohick Cemetery, and do not see any Ellzey burials. The Pohick cemetery is one of the oldest in Fairfax - the church being established 1732. The Civil war all but destroyed the cemetery and records, so just curious if Lewis Ellzey and wife/ wives are buried here without a headstone. Can anyone offer further on this. Anne

I reveiwed a will that belonged to Lewis Ellzey in the Fairfax City, VA Library about 2 weeks ago. Somebody told me that Thomasin Ellzey from Fairfax was actually Thomas Elsea. When I read the will it was obvious he (Thomasin Ellzey) was not the person I was looking for. Thomasin also paid taxes in Fairfax in 1782 and 1785. It seems his father Lewis Ellzey was a VA tobaco inspector in 1734. He can be found in Alexandria and Dumfries Va records. If you have anything on Thomas Elsea please send it my way. He was born circa 1760 and settled in east Tennessee.
