Hi Friends,
NOTE: Thomas Ellis became a minister like his father " Ellis ap Rees" alias
Rees Price, and Rowland Ellis senior. and he ministered and lived 1
mile from Bryn Mawr house/farm (built by Lewis ap Sion Griffith, of
Nannau), ( it was 1100 acres). Thomas ap Robert , (Robert ap
Thomas)Ellis had a brother named Rowland Ellis, whom was a younger
brother. Thomas Ellis was severely persecuted in Merionethshire , Wales
and jailed for his religious preaching, and they were treated brutally
for this religious practice of Quakers in this day and age. Rowland
Ellis and Ellis ap Rees first traveled to Pennsylvania to buy property
and survey the lands because of his royal family bloodline and his
friends in england which included William Penn. After Thomas was
released from jail his father came back to Merionethshire , Wales to
gather Thomas and the rest of the family. Thomas was said to be a man
of few words. Thomas was said to marry once in Wales and then to Ellin
which he married on date to the left of the page. The children Thomas
had were: Ellis Ellis, Rowland Ellis, Ellin Ellis, Mordecai Ellis,
Humphrey Ellis, Robert Ellis, Morris Ellis, Jane Ellis.
Thank you, Amy Koch Johnson
