i was excited until i saw the dates... sigh.

i am searching abe ellis, whose wife was tennie/fennie/jennie/tennio/fennio ellis (writing is very unreadable to me...) and they were both in the barren/hart county kentucky area. abe had a son named joseph ellis. joseph had 5 sisters and brothers,
but the only other sister i knew of was marcia and/or paulette... (difference in the discussion amongst my great aunts)...

do you know who the owners of your gabe ellis were?
