Welcome to our Family Tree! This is a compilation of information that I have 
been gathering from various sources over the past few years. I hope that you 
enjoy this look into the past and present! I am gathering more info still, 
including stories, myths and traditions of the Ellerbees. Our family was 
origionally from England, mostly in Yorkshire. The story is that an ancestor ( 
perhaps John Ellerbee Sr ) had an indisclosed intimate affair with royalty ( 
possibly Mary Cox? ) and the Ellerbees were booted out of England. They came 
to the northern area ( now Canada ) and the southern area ( now Florida ). We 
find a lot of our American roots in SC and GA as well, as these were the areas 
they later moved to. I have found a record on Ancestory.com that states the 
Ellerbees came to America in 1734, however, I later found that there was a 
John Ellerbee born in NC in 1687, and his father was Edward Ellerby. I am 
still trying to make sense of these records and other older ones. You will see 
our name spelled a few different ways: Ellerbee, Ellerbe, Ellerby, Elaby, 
Ellarby and Elerby. The last 3 the least common. Check out everything as I am 
adding stories where available. Enjoy and please feel free to contact me, and 
sign the guestbook!!

**Update Aug. 31, 2007**
I think I am getting closer. I have found a John Ellerbee Ellerbee who had 2 
sons. One was Edward b.1741 and the other Mark b.1774. Edward had a son named 
Green b. 1792 in Burke Co. Ga. Our John Ellerbee was from Burke Co, Ga b 
1808. "Green" is also another name that seems to be passed down quite a bit, 
along with "Mark". ( Actually you'll see several names that continue through 
the generations. ) Could this possibly be our direct lineage? We shall see!

**UPDATE Feb 7, 2008 **
You know all those people that I mentioned above - John Ellerbee b. 1687, his father 
being Edward Ellerby? Well, they are now in here.  George Ellerby from Yorkshire, 
England was Edward's father. I'm still not sure about the story of getting booted 
from England, but it is a possibility. Thanks to my cousin Shelby Ellerbee, I'm 
getting more and more info compiled here. He sent me a book, written by another 
cousin, called " The Family History and Lineage of Mark Ellerbee" by B. Graham 
Ellerbee. This book has allowed me to discover that tie between FL Ellerbees and 
Georgia Ellerbees, along with giving me SO much history and detail. My many thanks go 
out to both my cousins, Shelby and BG Ellerbee!!
