In my husband's family, I have a William John Ellis, b. ca 1844, served in
the Civil War, was a policeman in Charleston and owned a meat market
(perhaps in Charleston). He married Helen McKenzie. Is this Wm. Jno. Ellis
your Wm. Jno. Ellis? If you have more information on him, I would be happy
to share with you what I have.
Thanks
Martha Spivey
