Per the Ely Ancestry book:

Son of Enoch Ely and Pamelia Day
He married (unknown) and was supposed to have gone to Australia in 1857 and was never heard from again.
My gggg-grandfather:
Henry Ely - b. February 15, 1817 in Springfield, Ma.
Son of Chat E. Ely and Amelia Day
Sailed around South America for three years and Married my gggg-grandmother in 1853.
Born same day in same place, names of parents similar, in book he disappears from Ma. and then appears in another town although there is some difference in the years listed.
Anyone researching around this family??
