HENRY ELLIS was born in Goochland County, Va., Dec. 2, 1837.  His
parents were Hezekiah and Eliza J. (Henley) Ellis, natives of Virginia. 
They had three sons and two daughters, Henry being the eldest.  He was
but six years old when his father died.  His mother then married Robert
Martin and they had two children, one girl living.  Henry was reared on
a farm, and at the out-breaking of the war he enlisted in Company F,
Twenty-third Virginia Infantry, and remained in the service until the
close of the war; was in many battles and was wounded several times. 
After the close of the war he returned to Virginia and followed the
carpenter's trade until 1868, when he came to Daviess County, Ky., and
worked for W. W. Shoemaker at his trade until his marriage to Columbia
