About Lt. Richard Ellis of Dedham
RICHARD 2 ELLIS, Lieutenant ( l ), born about 1621, deposed on 28 Jan. 1661, aged 40 years, on 28 May 1685, aged 64 years, died in Dedham, Mass., 21 Oct. 1694; married in Dedham, 19 Sept. 1650, Elizabeth French, born 1629, died in Dedham, 21 June 1697 (p. 197).
Richard Ellis presumably came to this country with his mother and step-father, Lambert Genery, and was a resident of Dedham by 1636. He was a wheelwright by trade but was a man of good educa- tion, as was also his younger brother Joseph, who served Dedham as its schoolmaster for a number of years. He was made sergeant of the military company of Dedham in 1659, holding this office until after 1683 when he became lieutenant. In 1659 he was a woodreeve, in 1660 served on a committee with Lieut. Fisher to treat with the Indians and later was on many other important committees. On 8 June 1692, he was made a deputy to the Massachusetts General Court. In 1671 Richard Ellis, in behalf of himself and Isaac Genery, notified the town of their hope of having found a copper mine.
Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Elizabeth, and to John Ellis, his eldest son, 27 Dec. 1694, and the account of John Ellis, surviving administrator of his father, Richard Ellis, was filed 16 Sept. 1697. (Suffolk Probate, 3: 516; 11: 339.)
