  • Notes 
    • There are some differences in the database from FamilySearch and from Ben Eller's information in Ancestry.com. While children's names are the same, the wives names are not.

      Mary Ann Pearson and Mary Ann Donelson are clearly the same person. Mary Ann married Jacob Donaldson and has three children before marrying Henry Eller. Her maiden name was Pearson.

      Theodocia "Dochia" Massey and Dasha Norris are also quite possibly the same person. It is possible she was married to a Norris or a Massey before Henry Eller. And "Dasha and "Dochia" are similar names. Their birth dates are a couple years apart but their death dates and location are the same.

      This Henry William Eller (1802-1880) as a son of Henry and Molly Rench Eller may not be correct. Only this research by Ben Eller ties him back into the Heinrich/Henry line.
      Other researchers tie him into the Conrad Eller (of PA) line.
