Marsha,

Thanks for the response.

My great-grandfathers name was Gabe Ellis. He was born: 5-14-1884 and died:
9-1975 in Harlan County, Kentucky.
He married Lizzy Markle who was born: 2-25-1884 and died: 11-3-1967.
They had 10 daughters and only 1 is living at this time.

I have no further information on my great-grandparents but what I have
supplied.

I hope you can help fill in the missing gap or at least give me some
pointers as to where to look.

Thanks so much for the help!
Gail
