I am a descendant of Isaac Ely (d. 1796) of Hampshire County, WV through his son Benjamin, Grandson William Ely Sr (1772-1844), and great grandson William Ely Jr.Do you have any info on these lines?I see some mention of these in some of your postings.Most of that line went to Ralls Co, Missouri.I don't know what happened to my ancestor William Ely Jr.He married Charlotte Carder in 1828 in Hampshire County, WV and they moved to Missouri.Tradition says that Charlotte left him because he was gone for long periods of time.She came back to WV, then moved to Iowa in 1837 and remarried.I have never been able to determine what became of William Jr.He was still alive in 1848 when his mother Sarah died, but her will did not state where he was living.
