Jemima died in 1877 and was buried in the same cemetery. ---------------------- Harrison's son, Rev. Daniel R. Ellis, became a Methodist Minister. He went to Iowa and then to Missouri as a pioneer minister/missionary. Many of his descendants up until the time of this writing in 2012 stayed in Missouri where Daniel died. Daniel named one of his sons Harrison after his father, and this son became an Osteopathic physician. - Written by Blytha (Dennis) Ellis. My husband is a great great grandson of Harrison Ellis through his son Rev. Daniel R. Ellis.
