WILLIAM ELLERY The date of his first appearance in Gloucester is that of his marriage, Oct. 8, 1663, to Hannah, daughter of William Vinson. He had his house, without doubt, near that of his father-in-law, at Vinson's, or, as it was sometimes called, Ellery's Cove. His widow was living there in 1708. William Ellery was admitted a freeman in 1672; was a selectman a few years; and a representative in May, 1689. Of his business employments, nothing more is known than that he possessed a sloop. He died Dec. 9, 1696.

He was twice married. His first wife died Dec. 24, 1675; and he next married Mary Coit, June 13, 1676.
