The Mobley - Ellis Connection
I have received permission to include material from Bill Ellis's book "George Richard Ellis" His ancestors and descendants. This book is a lifetime of work and research by Bill and Carol and has thousands of old pictures that can only be called "treasures". It also contains thousands of surnames and I will attempt to add some here and also twenty or so pages about the Mobleys and Ellis's and kin.There are over 330 pages in Bill's book and it comes in a big binder. I do not have room here to include the whole book so those of you that may want to order the book, heres his address. Bill Ellis-- 1201 maple St. -- Friona Tx. 79035. ph. 806-250-3053.
