Dear Ms. Britton:
Thank you so much for your letter of June 5 regarding the ELLER and HAYS families. Long before the entries were listed the JAN/FEB '85 GENEALOGICAL HELPER, I had to "shelve" my genealogy so my files are a little "dusty" at the present time. I'm afraid that I can not help you in any way with the HAYS line. I have looked through my records and can find no information on your family. There is a Hays Newsletter published however - you might be interested in submitting a query.
The ELLER line looks more promising. At a quick glance through your information and my files, it seems possible that we are on the same line here primarily through George Eller, born ca. 1752 VA, m. Christena Yost, d. 25 Dec, 1808 Grayson Co, VA. I believe you descend from his son Washington and we descend from his son John, born 23 Oct, 1786 VA, m. Susan Smith, d. 24 Aug., 1840 Monroe Co, IN. Since my files are in such sad array, I can't find what I need to show you this, but I have enclosed some copies of various things which might be of interest to you.
Our line continues down as follows:
Francis A. |
b 6 Mar 1830 KY
m 20 April 1848 Monroe Co, IN to Elizabeth Pauley
d 8 Aug 1905, Monroe Co, IN |
John Giles |
b 25 June 1850 Monroe Co, IN
m 24 Dec 1871 Monroe Co, IN to Laura Sadler
d 13 April 1933 Monroe Co., IN |
Minnie V. |
b 6 Nov 1881 Monroe Co, IN
m 28 Oct 1914 Monroe Co, IN to Calvin Barker
d 29 May 1927 Monroe Co, IN |
Marjorie |
b 27 Nov 1919 Monroe Co, IN
m 14 June 1942 Monroe Co, IN to John F. McCormick |
Janet |
b 25 Nov 1946 Montgomery Co, IN
m 5 Feb 1972 Marion Co, IN to Brian E. Rice |
If you have the time, I would like to know more about your ELLER line. I have enclosed a SASE for your convenience. Thanks again for writing.
Sincerely,

Janet A. Rice
