| Amos ELY
Deborah WHITSON |
| Husband: Amos ELY
Birth: 6 Feb 1769, Solebury Twp., Bucks Co., PA Death: 20 Aug 1847 Father: George ELY Mother: Sarah MAGILL |
| Marriage said to be: 1791 |
| Wife: Deborah WHITSON
Birth: 19 Oct 1769 Death: 9 Feb 1823 Father: Thomas WHITSON Mother: Elizabeth BURT |
| Children — born in Solebury Twp., Bucks Co., PA: |
| 1. (Son A) ELY, b. 1790-1800
2. (Daughter A) ELY, b. 1790-1800 3. George ELY, b. bef. 1797; m. Phebe SMITH (b. 1 Jun 1797) 4. (Daughter B) ELY, b. 1800 5. (Son B) ELY, b. 1800-1810 6. Amos ELY, Jr., b. bef. 1822; m. Elizabeth SMITH (b. 30 Sep 1822) Is Amos really their son? Assuming Amos is just a few years older than Elizabeth, this is an extraordinary span of fecundity for Deborah. Or, if Amos is actually "Son A," as the census suggests, then Elizabeth must be Amos's second (or third) wife. |
