Moorman of St. Benedict, OR dated Jan. 31, 1992 to Ms. Doliante. In this
letter

he said the following:

"Dr. Lorand V. Johnson, M.D. now deceased of Cleveland, Ohio wrote several

books on the Johnson family and in 1976 he assured me that Sue Terrel of

Rockcastle Farm, Lynchburg, Virginia had the old family bible of the SLYE

family. Elizabeth Gerrard's sister, Susannah GERRARD, married by 1683,

[plo 1663?]

Robert SLYE (ca. 1628-1670/1) by whom she had four children as her first

husband. At any rate the original SLYE family bible reads: `Baptized on ye

1st day of December, 1666 A.D., Thomas, infant son of Robert and Susanna

Slye. The sponsor's being his uncle Justinian GERRARD and aunt Elizabeth

ELLYSON.'

He (Br. Ambrose Carroll Moorman) seems to have confused successive

generations, undoubtedly because he assumed that Thomas' daughter Elizabeth

could not have married an Ellyson. As I indicated in my previous post,

Elizabeth daughter of Thomas was definitely old enough to have had a
marriage

prior to the one with Nehemiah Blackistone.

Barbara, this is a tremendous contribution, and all of us with Ellyson roots

thank you! For those interested, Thomas Gerard has a well-documented descent

from nobility and royalty, appearing most accessibly in Weis & Sheppard's

Ancestral Roots (it's certainly in the 7th ed., and probably in earlier ones

as well). David Boles
