    "In Winchester also, in 1779, one "John Ellis of Richmond" enlisted and "deserted on February 1, 1780." this seems alsmost certainly to have been young John Ellis (20), who married in 1774, and has four children recorded: Eunice, Edward Martin and John. He is not spoken of as "John Ellis, Jr." as would seem natural to do, but his father may have died before that date. No further trace of him appears, as we have of his elder brother, Deacon Martin Elllis."
