POWHATAN ELLIS (deceased) was born in Shelby County, Ky., Jan. 5, 1809, 
a son of William Ellis, a native of Virginia, but an early settler of 
Shelby County, Ky.  His parents came to Daviess County when he was a 
small boy, and he was thus reared and educated in this county.  He was 
an apt scholar, and though his advantages for an education were limited 
he made the most of them, and was finally competent to teach, an 
occupation he followed for twenty-five years.  He was married Jan. 7, 
1841, to Mildred C. Kallam.  Eleven children were born to them, only 
eight now living--Robert L., Melvina, Margaret M., Hiram K., Walter P., 
George F., Fannie S. and William S.  One daughter, Sallie J., married 
David Webb, and at her death left five children.  Mr. Ellis died Feb. 
12, 1881.  Mrs. Ellis's father, Hiram Kallam, was an early settler of 
Knottsville.  His father, William Kallam, lived on the Hardinsburg road 
in what is now Hancock County, where he kept a tavern.  Her mother, Jane 
(Butcher) Kallam, was a daughter of William Butcher, and early settler 
of Yelvington.  Mr. Kallam died April 1, 1880.  He was a military man 
and trained the militia for several years.  Has held nearly all the 
offices from Lieutenant to Colonel.  He built the first tannery and 
distillery in the county.  In later life he became a preacher in the 
Methodist church, and was a man greatly esteemed by all who knew him.
