David Ellis fought on the Monitor vs Merrimac
Hi,
I am trying to track David Roberts Ellis' parents.I know that David was born in 1840 and came to the U.S. in 1862, just in time to hire on for the Monitor's mission against the Merrimac. David's father was Roberts Ellis who died in Wales ca 1844.But I have not been able to locate proof of Roberts Ellis' death, and I do not know the name of his wife or parents.Any help would be greatly apprecitated.
William Naiden Ellis, son of William Donohue Ellis, grandson of William Otterbein Ellis and great grandson of David Roberts Ellis
