Hello the list: re the inquiries of Ellison/Farley/Blankenship families in Greenbrier County: I have the declaration of James Ellison, in which he states the following: James Ellison was born 20 Sept., 1757 in Mansfield, Burlington Twp., New Jersey. He was the son of James Ellison and Ann English. His wife was Elizabeth Farley. In 1768 he moved to Augusta Co. Va. with his father. In 1771 he moved to Greenbrier County Va. (the portion that is now Monroe Co.). This may answer some of the questions posed. There are a few other interesting bits and pieces. He served as an Indian spy for several years; he was captured and wounded and escaped. If anyone is researching the Andrew Donnally family in Augusta>Greembrier?Kanawha, please contact me. Thanks in advance. Ann in Sarasota To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html
