I live in Illinois and there is a strong Ellis-Chenoweth connection. I wonder if any of the Ellis' here are related someway to your family.
My maternal great-grandparents were Charles H. Ellis and Lillian M. Clover. Charles' parents were Polemon Ellis and Martha Applegate; Lillian's parents were John Clover and Eva L. Stuckey. I have nothing before them. Lynvashti
Re: on the previous comment, my great-great grandfather, John Clover, was full-blooded Cherokee; he is buried in Crown Point Cemetery in Kokomo, IN. Lynvashti
Re: Stuckey family--This part of the family originated in Pennsylvania; I have been told they were large landowners in Pennsylvania. There is a Stuckey family history book on this part of the family. Lynvashti

RE: My husband calcbiker's comment: My maternal great-grandparents were Charles H. Ellis and Lillian M. Clover.
Charles' parents were Polemon Ellis,born 1849, died 1921,buried Crown POint Cemetery,Kokomo, Indiana, and Martha Applewood-no information. I need more information on Polemon's ancestors and Martha Applewood's ancestors. I also need places of origin, burial, etc...
Lillian's parents were John Clover,born Dec 17 1863,died November 12 1937. He is buried Crown POint Cemetery, Kokomo, Indiana and has a Native American marker at his grave; Lillan's mother was Eva L. Stuckey,daughter of Uriah Stuckey and Kiezah Applegate. I believe the Stuckeys originally were from Pennsylvania. I need ancestry, states and countries, and any other information.
John H. Clover's father was Native American, probably Cherokee; his name was Elkhanian Clover. Elkhanian died April 10 1862. He married Mariam (Miriam?) Jones, who also was Native American, probably Cherokee.She died Dec 3 1898. They had another son, William. Lynvashti
