Notes:

Occupation: Wheelwright, chair maker, owned a hand mill 1815 Bear Creek, Montgomery, Missouri
"In 1765 Benjamin Ellis sold his property in Rowan Co., NC (Deed Bk, 6, pg. 167-168) and moved his family to old Tryon Co., NC. Then in 1786 Benjamin moved a little farther west purchasing property in Greenville Co., SC in 1786 (Greenville Co., SC Deed Bk A, pg. 38). (This deed was witnessed by James Copeland, and John Bates. James Copeland had previously witnessed a deed for Benjamin Ellis in Rowan Co., NC, 1761). Between 1795-1798 the families were selling their SC property and moved to an area of Summer & Smith Counties in TN. Benjamin Ellis died 1802 near Hartsville, TN.
Benjamin Ellis settled on South Bear Creek in 1815 in Montgomery Co. MO. He was a wheelwright and chair maker, and also had a hand mill. He had 10 children. James Ellis settled on Bear Creek in 1819. If this is accurate, then he didn't die in TN.
ANDREW FOURT built the first hotel in Pinckney, and on court days he generally had a lively time. Men would come to town and get drunk, and then quarrel and fight in and around the hotel, which they regarded as a public place, where they could do as they pleased. Among the most noisy characters of that class was a man known as BIG BEN ELLIS, of South Bear creek, and one day he became so demonstrative that Fourt offered him a dollar to leave the house. Ellis took the money, stepped out at the door, came right back again, and told Fourt that if he would give him another dollar he would go home. They finally compromised on fifty cents, and he took his departure.
