Our Ellsworth Ancestors, part 3 and last
Note: That book also linked Edmund Ellsworth to German Ellsworth. There was no link. The book, though compiled with the best of intentions, was wrong. Two separate Ellsworth families, from very different origins though both in New York, joined the Mormon Church very early in its history (before 1840). They have both raised large posterities. While we may want to be closely related to the Ellsworths that came from Brother German Ellsworth, we aren’t. Because for years we thought we were, and because we share a name and a faith, we treat them as kin. But they still won’t show up on this blog.
