There is evidence to indicate Dr. Robert Ellis married Elizabeth Pemberton, daughter of Dr. Thomas Pemberton, not his brother James Pemberton's daughter Elizabeth. Had he married James' daughter Elizabeth, she would have been 41 at time of marriage and had their first kid when she was around 60. Thomas' daughter Elizabeth was born 6/17/1678 and family document's (i.e. wills) indicate she is the correct Elizabeth and that Robert trained under her father.
