I believe the Benjamin J. you are talking about is my great grandfather. I remember hearing about some type of indian bloodline in that family, I'll ask my grandmother and see if she recalls anything.

William M. Ellard who married Margaret Lovelady in S.C. and moved to the Jefferson Co., Alabama, is not the same person as Willam Ellard who married as a second wife in Murray Co., Georgia Eleanor Kelton. William also was born in S. C. and moved to Georgia about the same time the other William moved to Alabama. William's first wife is unknown but they were probably married in S. C. and how many children they had is unknown. A young William Ellard in Georgia on the 1850 census may be his son--he is married and in not listed with William and Eleanor. There is also a Hannah Ellard listed on the census with William and Eleanor who was born several years before they married, and presumably is William's daughter, but I have no proof that she was and have no other information about her.

I am the grandaughter of Nancy Margaret Ellerd (maiden name) born 1886 in Clarksville, GA.. Her parents were Newberry Jackson Ellerd born abt 1854 in Hall Co. GA. and married Jalia Adeline Weaver in 1874. My grandmother (Nancy Margaret) was one of 12 children.

Samuel Ellerd was a prisoner . He immigrated from England as a prisoner in 1741. He had two son, Amos Sr born in Va abt July 1, 1786 and James Ellerd

Amos Ellerd was arrested in Washington county, VA (now Russell County) for horse theft.

I have heard rumors that the Ellerds had Choctaw blood and I am now researching to try and find out if this is true. If you have any information about that, please let me know.

James Monroe Ellard was 5'7" tall, fair complexion, blue eyes,light hair. He served in the military between 1861-1865, Confederate States Army, Co. C., 11th Regiment. His occupation is listed as a School Teacher. He was first buried in (thought to be ) Leatherwood Baptist Cemetery in Banks County and was later buried in the Confederate Cemetery in LaGrange GA. His left arm was amputated above the elbow (probably due to the war).
My facts show that he was born Jan. 14, 1843 in Springhill Place, Murray Co., GA and died June 9, 1913 in Baldwin Banks Co., GA. He married Amanda Melvina Bell November 6,1880 in Randolph Co. GA. She died Nov 1, 1918 in TX.
He then married Susan Clay Bell nov 7, (?) in Randolph Co., Ga

Children of James Ellard and Amanda Bell are
1. Alice Ellard, born June 18, 1864 in GA
2. Susan Ellender Nellie Ellard, born Feb 7, 1884 and died Aug. 18, 1905 Susan married Woodie Mack in 1902.

I am trying to research the Choctaw blood in the Ellerd lineage. Can anyone help?

Cd,

I was following June Valente's posts and such today and saw your posting. I didn't know that you had information on Samuel. I would love to see this gedcom file you have. What kind of prisoner was Samuel? Do you know what he was charged with? Please send me the gedcom file. I have a program that will open it.

Thank you,

Hi. The Ellerds represent half of my paternal family roots. I have traced our family from Samuel>Amos>James Sr>James Jr>Benjamin Calhoun>James Calhoun >Benjamin Joseph, who is my grandfather. We have always been told there is Cherokee blood in the line, but as yet I have not found it. Sounds like you've been doing this awhile (I've just begun). Can you help direct me? Thanks.

irish ellards

cdellerd — 2001-07-01 19:05:04Z

unfortuneately at this time it looks like irish ellards are not related to english ellards. the irish name seems to have originated northeast of edinburg in scotland in a hamlet called allardice. the english appear to originate fron devonshire near a town also called allardice. they migrated to sussex where there are many still living.
sorry couldnt help more.

relations of james monroe ellerd

cdellerd — 2001-07-01 19:05:04Z

i am a direct descendant of james monroe ellerd born on 14 jan 1843. his father's name was william ellard born in south carolina.
please note the change in spelling of last name.
tp my knowledge there is no relationship to your thomas jefferson ellerd but i dont rule it out either but due to different spelling of name i am doubtful.
keep checking and good luck
will be contacting other lady to compare info with her as she appears to be a relation
tks for the help even if negative at this point

ellerds

cdellerd — 2001-07-01 19:05:04Z

have discovered that james monroe ellerd had
brother named Jeptha who has descendants all thru ga,ala,miss,louis,texas,nm,nev, and calif ......would suggest that anyone looking for relatives with that spelling of name check his line out

also this line changed its name about the time of civil war from ellard to ellerd
this may help also good luck to all.

descendants

2001-05-27 18:45:34Z

unfortuneatly as i get further into the family tree, some of my assumptions prove to be wrong. at this time i cant rule out the ellards and ellerds as being english or irish
the best thing to do is not to assume either.
just keep checking back and sooner or later well find out the hard way.
good luck

i have recently been informed by reva ellerd-chyz that she was told about indian blood in family line also but i personally dont know anything about that.
in my maternal line, there is indian blood but that lady is not in ellerd line to my knowledge. however it may be same person as your's due to several marriages down thru time.
i am aware of samuel e but have no info about him except that he was was brught from england to virginia in 1747. i have found several hints that he lived in vicinity of amelia,vir. but have no documentation. would appreciate hearing from you on this matter.
also, do you have relationship info on amos, james sr., and issac sr. issac lived sometime in 1700's and may have been amos's brother and james sr.'s brother or father.
the next issac ellard would be his grandson
who may have been eith jonathan's or james sr's son
hope i helped most info i have is 1800's and later.

Hi Rita, Thanks for your answer. I have some info on the line you are in but I have not been able to connect the two famlies. I feelthat there is arelationship as what I have shoh the they came from the same area.

Pooh! No match

2000-01-26 12:25:24Z

In 1843, we were in Taladaga Co., AL. Thomas Jefferson Ellerd was born in 1844 in AL. His dad, Thomas James Ellerd was married in Taladage in 1816. Must have lived there the whole time. Good luck!

cdellerd — 2001-07-01 19:05:04Z

this is to inform you that i am searching
for info on our family line also but have no
knowlegde of a amanda at that timeline
also i have elinor(your spelling) listed as ellenor can you verify which spelling is correct if possible
also can you go any further back than william
thats as far as i've gone and that was just today at that
tks in advance

re:ellard/ellerd/allard

cdellerd — 2001-07-01 19:05:04Z

i appreciate your reply. as to my relationship,james monroe had at least two sons i've been aware of=james thomoas ellerd and william jeptha.
william jeptha had two sons-john and carl lee ellerd and a daughter rubye ellener. i am the last son of carl lee. he also had a son carl lee jr and jewell and joyce in reverse order as listed(joyce being oldest).
my brothers and sisters are all alive and well. if at all possible,when you can i would like a copy of that license.
my brother and sisters were from a different mother than me. and i had five stepbrothers from my mothers second marriage. one (joseph) died in 97 due to birth defects in his heart.
i have more info on william(he had four wives altogether) and others as well. as soon as i have it organized i am going to burn a cd of it if you would like a copy let me know. i am having problems with some of the info. i think some of the people i have listed as children of one ellerd are actually his siblings not sure. thats why i need as much of the older info as you have verified.
as it stands now, the original ancester who came ashore in virginia was samuel ellard(note the spelling). his descendants are all over the south and some were in indiana and michigan. his son is the problem cant connect him with his father otr his other contemporaries. like i say they mat be children or siblings. but iam sure they were all born in virginia.
thanks again for response.
my email is cdellerd@email.com. the cd stands for charles davis.
bye cousin for now
cd
ps name was changed by james monroe and his cousib james and uncle jonathan to ellerd from ellard. why exactly i dont know. but there are several reasons given in various gedcom files. it occurred around the time of the civil war so that may been part of reason although james monroe served honerably losing his left arm above the elbow at the second battle of mannassas
