In the 1850 Martin Co. Perry Township IN census. Elizabeth CRANE is living nearby James and Mary SPARKS. Her husband, Richard, is given as living in the household of his son, Richard A. CRANE, next door, but this is probably a transcription error in the census. Children living with Elizabeth were John C., Thomas, Isaac E., Elizabeth, Benjamin J., Susan R., (all of these previous children of Richard and Rebecca), Charles H., Elisa E., Cary A. BIRCH (given as 2 which is an error), John A. BIRCH, Isaac T. BURCH and Martha S. BIRCH. A child of Richard and Rebecca’s who isn’t in the household is Sarah Crane, who would have been about 14. Carrie Burch is erroneously given as 2 when she would have been 15, but her siblings ages are all about right.

John Cord CRANE was a son of Richard CRANE and Rebecca GARDNER (Rebecca was a sister of Elizabeth GARDNER and Elizabeth married 2nd Richard CRANE).

NOTE: This is James Nicholas ELLIS b. 21 July 1811 in Nicolas Co. KY and died 3 Sept. 1892 in Neosho Co. KS. His wife is Rebecca Mariah SCOTT b. 1 May 1816 in Nicolas Co. KY. A genforum post notes on Rebecca Mariah SCOTT that her parents were Jonathan SCOTT and Catherine BORDERS, and that Jonathan’s father was Simon SCOTT who “was a youngster in Scotland when Pirates captured him, and released him in Virginia when he was of age…thus he knew his first name but not last, so he called his surname Scott after Scotland.” Whether factual or family legend that may one day to prove to not be true, it’s a fun story.
