PHRAIM ELLIS, is listed next to John Ellis as head of a family in the 1790 Census consisting of one male over 16, one under 16 and two females. A pension certificate was issued to him 24 May 1820 for $8 a month from the date, 3 June 1818, of application. He applied from Roxbury Township, Ohio, "aged 53," stating that he enlisted from Middleborough, Mass., 5 April 178I, and served two years eight months, partly in Capt. Emerson's Co., Tenth Massachusetts Line, and partly in Capt. Killam's Co., Col. Newell's Reg., Massachusetts Line. Gideon Newton of Barnard, Vt., deposed, 4 Oct. 1817, that he served the last three years of the war with Ephraim Ellis. A similar affidavit was submitted by his brother John Ellis (Abstracts of Rev. War Pension Applications, The National Genealogical Society Quarterly (1947), vol. 35, p. 55). [Plymouth & Cape Cod MA Genealogy]
