See Family:John Ellis and Mary Horton (1), the transcribed quote for this source.
"John Ellis had land, and the original dwelling was yet standing in 1882; which was successively owned by his son, Deacon Martin Ellis, and then by Martin's son Hosea, and then by Henry Bullock, who was probably a grandson of Martin."

"_____This response is understood to have been equivalent to a pledge to bear arms if necessary; but several citizens, owing to conscientious convictions, could not thus respond; and signed a paper protesting against the principle of armed resistance. Among these was Martin Ellis (19), eldest son of John by his second wife, and who was then about twenty-two. Most of the protestants are believed to have been Quakers, of whom there was a society in the town; but Martin was a Baptist, and a deacon in that church for many years until his death in 1832. He became a man of marked influence, but evidently rendered no military service, nor do the records show that he ever held public office. Deacon Ellis, as he was always called, had a large family, of whose descendants we have at present litle account, only that two of the sons removed to Vermont. The names are, Sylvanus, Benjamin, Lucy, Sabra, James, Daniel, Polly, Martin, Sarah, Hosea and Candace. James was killed by being thrown from a wagon at the age of twenty-eight."
