I found this information in an old Ellis Cousin's newsletter that someone copied for me:
"T.J. Ellis served in Confederate forces, Co. C, 1st GA Calalry.He and his family moved to Comanche Co. Texas in 1889 and purchased a farm and stable.He founded T.J. Ellis & Company, a well-known livery firm, proprietors of the "Iron Barn"."
This was Thomas Jefferson Ellis, born 1838 in Floyd County, GA.He married Susan Trippe, daughter of James Trippe and Martha Patillo around 1860 in GA.Seems most of the rest of the family stayed in GA, but this family moved to TX in 1889. Known children are James Clarence, Florence, Ollie, and Jennie all born in GA.
This is not my direct family line, but close. TJ Ellis' brother Radford Ellis was my GGG grandfather.
Would love to exchange information.
