Elizabeth & Barbara ENNIS

I am also looking for information on Barbara Ennis.I have found contradictory information about her.First, I learned that her grandfather, John Ennis, was said to have fought under George Washington in the Battle of Germantown.I have misplaced the specific information that I had so, I will have to e-mail you with it at another time.I also have information that states that Barbara Ennis was born in 1728 with her mother being Elizabeth Nalls and her father being John Ennis.If this is the same Barbara Ennis then this information is a contradiction because John Ennis came from Athlone County, Westmeath, Ireland.Reportedly, he was known as Sir John Ennis or Lord John Ennis in Ireland.He fled Ireland after killing a man of the law/soldier with his son.He went to Virginia where he met Elizabeth Nalls.He was an endentured servant.His son's name was James Ennis.I am a decendent of James Ennis, Sir John's son.So, if Sir John and Elizabeth are the parents of Barbara then, perhaps the information about Barbara's grandfather serving under George Washington is false.I don't know.The mystery continues.Please e-mail me with any information that you have on this line.I will be more than happy to share my information with you.You might want to look at RootsWeb.com to see the information I just described in better detail.I look forward to hearing from you!
