I have give you a clue Greenbury Hall [son of Mahlon
Hall] maried into the Ely family. The Hall's came
from Bourbon Co KY to IL by 1830. Mahlon was one of
the largest land owners in DeWitt. If you know the
first names of the Hall's he was living with in 1850 I
might be able to give you info on them. I do not have
anything on the Ely line except the Hall marriage
