Possible link to Kellison
Our family lore says the name was originally Kellison. Supposedly Charles Kellison lived in or around Upper Sandusky, Ohio.And during the Civil War made a habit of selling his enlistment services.After several "enlistments" and desertions, the Union Army was about to arrest him...but he managed to go into hiding...changed his name to Ellison...and sent word to his wife and kids to leave Ohio and meet him near Logansport, IN...where the Ellison family grew and called home for nearly a century.I guess it's fallen to my generation to become curious enough to pursue this history.Any help from this Forum would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Don Ellison
