William LANIER of Pitt NC w/ELLIS Family
1773 [Deed Bk 3, p192] Henry Ellis Sr sold to
William ELLIS land on s. side of Tar River,
adjoining Ham, Forbes and others. Wit: James
LANIER, Wm. Baldwin, Lucy Ellis.This William NOT a son of Henry Ellis Sr.
Subsequent deeds show close association of this William ELLIS with members of the LANIER
family.William may have been a brother to
Michael ELLIS, a taxable in 1762 [born 1746 or earlier] in home of WILLIAM LANIER.It is not known whether William and Michael were related to the LANIER family; it is known that a number of LANIER families lived in Surry-Sussex and had some association with the ELLIS family. [Ellis Line from Surry-Sussex in Virginia..Dixie McCrary 1978].
My William Ellis of Pitt Co was born c1755
VA; died aft 1812 NC., married Elizabeth Stanton, d/o James.One known child, Delphia Ellis, married Lemuel DeBerry. Parents/siblings of William Ellis unknown.
Was Michael Ellis a brother?

Has anyone run across William or Michael Ellis in their LANIER research?Was their
mother [possibly] a LANIER?What was relationship between these two families?
