From the family Bible of Hezekiah Ellis (2nd) which at this time (July 6, 1932) is in the possession of Mr. Ellis Brown of 5271 Eagledale, Los Angeles, California, we learn that Hezekiah Ellis (2nd) was born Sept. 15, 1769 and died Oct. 11, 1857 and that his mother, Mildred (Burbridge) Ellis-Robinson died April 1, 1811, which corresonds with the entry on the church roll of David's Fork Church, Fayette County, Kentucky, that she was dead on May 1, 1811.

The death of Mildred Burbridge, wife of the 1st Hezekiah Ellis, married 2nd Benjamin Robinson: It has been printed in family histories and on the internet that she died at the bar on her way home from the neighbors - I have felt in my mind that they meant bar-ditch and I was right. In some hand written memos of Lucy Ferguson Coons Ware she stated that "Mildred Robinson mother of Captain William Ellis, fell through the fence and was killed. This was back of H. Weathers' entrance on Winchester Pike opposite Combs Ferry Road."
