• Richard Ely, of Plymouth, Devonshire Co., England, emigrated to America between 1660 and 1663, his son Richard accompanying him. He resided for a time at Boston, and later settled at Lyme, Conn., which in 1660 was a part of Saybrook. Mr. Ely was a widower when he came to America, his first wife Joane (maiden name presumed to have been Phipps), having died in Plymouth, Jan. 7, 1660. A note by a person of reliability states : "This Phipps is supposed to have been a sister of Constantine John Phipps (Baron Mulgrau), the great navigator and commissioner of the Admiralty. A younger brother, Viscount Normandy, was an officer of the British army."
• Children of Richard and Joane Phipps.

• For his second wife Mr. Ely married at Boston in 1664 a Mrs. Elizabeth Cullick, widow of Capt. John Cullick, who was for some time Secretary of the Colony of Connecticut, and whose will may be seen among the Boston records. ....

• William Ely, the eldest son of Richard, had gone to the West Indies, perhaps to visit an uncle residing there, about the time his father emigrated to America. Two years after his settlement in America, Richard sent for his son William, who arrived in Connecticut from the West Indies about 1670. He resided in Lyme, married Elizabeth Smith, and was for many years Judge of the County Court of New London. William Ely died in February, 1717, aged 71 years. The monument in the Lyme cemetery, erected to the memory of his father, also commemorates his name. .... etc.
• The "Mail and Express" of September 10, 1898, published the following query, which mentions a different date for the marriage than the one generally accepted. It is probably an error :
  • Does any one know who were the parents of Elizabeth Smith, of Lyme, Conn.? She married William Ely, first, of Lyme, September, 1670.
• There is a tradition that Judge Ely was twice married, but, if so, the name of his second wife is not known, nor those of the children.
• Children of William Ely and Elizabeth Smith.
  • 1. Anne, b. 1682; died in infancy.
  • 2. Elizabeth, b. 1683; died in infancy.
  • 3. Richard, b. 1690; d. 1767; m. 1714, Ruhama Thompson; m. 1730, Margarett Olcutt, Hartford.
  • 4. Daniel, b. 1693; d. March 14, 1776; m. 1st, Mary Ann Champlin; 2nd, Ruth Wells; 3rd, Mary Rose; 4th, Ruhama Turner.

Notes   Boston Transcript, 6 April 1926, #2215

Elizabeth Ely, widow of Capt. William Ely, July 29, 1748, deeded to her sister Mary, widow of Ebenezer Parker, lands inherited from her father, Simon Smith, deceased. (Haddam Land Records, Vol. 5, folio 23.) Other similar deeds simply gave us a superfluous wealth of evidence. One we will refer to, since it throws light on the date of death of Elizabeth Ely. Her sister Mary Parker, Sept. 22, 1750, deeded to her son Abner an interest in land she had bought from her sister Elizabeth Ely of Lyme, lately deceased and also lands formerly belonging to her father, Simon Smith of Haddam. "The Ely Ancestry" has this transcription from the gravestone of Elizabeth: "Mrs. Elizabeth, relict of William Ely, died Oct. 10, 1750, in the 89th year of her age." The Parker deed shows she died before Sept. 22.
