ellis cornelius east of Indiana & ?VA/NC
I am looking for information on my great-grandfather, Ellis Cornelius East. He was born about 1875 and died about 1953. He is buried in Walker Chapel Cemetary in Bloomington, IN. He was an attorney and served in the Army. He married Nettie (Isabel?) Bennett and had four children, Ruth, Freda, Nola and Wendell. Ruth married William Glenn Sullivan of Monroe County, IN. They had two children, Wilma Jean, my mother, who married Robert Franklin Walsh of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Marjorie Lois. Wilma Jean and Robert had four children, including myself, Jane Carolyn, David Patrick, and Kathleen Diane. Marjorie married George Stultz, with whom she had one child, a son, Gregory. Nola married Reed McKinley Blackburn on 7-31-13. They had 7 children: Helen, Rose, Reed, James, Jerry, Freda & Leland. Family tradition has it that his family homesteaded from either VA or NC. He spent his last years at the Old Soldiers Home in DC. He was a Mason of the Scottish Rite. Any info would be great!
