BERNHARD ELLER b. 19 August 1812 at Rotenfels/Murg, Germany emigrated to America about 1862 He was a merchant by trade | Bernhard Eller is the great, great Grandfather of Renate Eller. Renate is a teacher of Biology and Chemistry at an international school in Geel, Belgium. She became a member of the Eller Family Association in 1991 after learning of its existence from Michael Lynn Eller who was a Captain in the U.S. Forces stationed in Fulda, Germany. Michael Lynn is a great nephew of President Lynn Eller. Correspondence between Renate and Lynn has ensued since 1991. A recent letter told of her father's death in October 1993, Franz Andreas Eller She mentioned that her father was most interested in hearing of the American Ellers and at the time of his death, he was reading with great pleasure the Eller Family Cookbook. He was proud to have some of his family's recipes represented in the book. Franz Andreas Eller believed that his family belonged to the Ellers who lived in the Black Forest and that they had reached that area from the region around Solda-Sulden in the south Tirol in Italy! (Ed: again this region surfaces as a source from which the name Eller originated centuries ago. Dr. Rose Eller was from that area). Early in the correspondence between Renate and Lynn, she was given the names of Klaus Napp-Zinn and Dr. Rose Eller. She was in touch with these two Eller Family Association members who are now deceased. Renate considered attending both the Estes Park and Portland Conferences but school schedules and illness in her family in Fulda did not allow her to travel to America. We would all encourage her to make plans to attend the Asheville Conference in 19Q,5. We would be pleased to have Renate as our European liaison. |

JOHN AND JOSEPH ELLER, REVOLUTONARY WAR SOLDIERS FROM ROWAN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(eds.) New information on these two Ellers, thought by Hook to be sons of Jacob Eller, Sr., has been received. A letter came to Lynn Eller from Mary W. Glenn of Texas City, TX; that contained a reprint of an article from the Rowan County Register, Vol. 8, No. 3 by Jo White Lynn, Bounty Land Warrants Recorded in Rowan County. Some EFA members will remember Jo White Lynn for her excellent presentation at the 1989 Salisbury Eller Family Conference.
Mrs. Linn reminds us that "bounty land warrants were granted to veterans of the Continental Line in payment for past military service." The land was situated mainly in middle Tennessee, in Sumner and Davidson counties. The warrants could be transferred or sold, sometimes several times, before they were surrendered for land. While records exist in the National Archives of those to whom warrants were issued for military service no record was kept of the ultimate use of these land warrants. No land warrants were issued for land within North Carolina some bounty land warrants were recorded in Rowan County, North Carolina. Two such bounty land deeds were found "lurking between the covers of Rowan County Deed Book 12" by Patricia G. Rosenthal who called them to the attention of Mrs. Linn.
Book 12:45. State of N Carolina No. 254 To all whom these Presents shall come Greetings. Know ye that we for and in consideration of the form and pursuant to an Act of our General Assembly entitled "An Act for the Relief of Officers & Soldiers in the Continental line, and for other purposes," and in Consideration of the Signal Bravery & persevering Zeal of Joseph Eller a private in the Said Line, We have Given & Granted by these presents do Give & Grant unto the said Thomas Dickey assignee of John Eller heir of said Joseph, a Tract of Land containing 640 Acres Lying & being in the County of Davidson [TN] on the Waters of Stones river. Beginning..... (remainder of record omitted here).
Mrs. Linn also calls attention to the absence of any record in the Index to Revolutionary War Pension Applications in the National Archives, for Joseph Eller. However, "in the lists of warrants for lands granted to officers and soldiers out of the North Carolina Secretary's Office #1220, is Joseph Eller dec'd, Privt, 640 acres, 84 months service, warrant dated Sept. 27, 1784. Pvt. Joseph Eller served in Bailey's Co., enlisting 15 Jan. 1782 for twelve months."
A second letter, this from Clarice V. (Eller) Stanley of Martins Ferry, OH, provides the following: "PIERCES REGISTER - Register of the Certificates issued by John Pierce, Esquire, Paymaster General and Commissioners of the Army Accounts for United States, to Officers and Soldiers of the Continental Army under Act of July 4, 1783. Seventh Report of The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore 1987.
