As to evidence of his marriage, he refers to "Tho Chamin" as his "feathar in law" in a deed dated 29 May 1665, giving him 7 acres at Marecock, being part of a lot that had been Thomas Armitage, later granted to Francis Weekes and by him granted to William Jackocks and Thomas Ellison. https://archive.org/details/cu31924092207764/page/171/mode/1up?view=theater

By the way, it looks like the middle name "Honor" for his wife is in error. It looks like a conflation of his wife with the wife of their son Thomas who was named Honor ___, per Martha Champion's profile.

Maybe someone can speak about this discrepancy. The will of Thomas Ellison (dated?) 7 April 1697, probated 23 May 1697 but his death date shows AFTER probation 11 Oct 1697.

Something is wrong here.

Connected daughter Elizabeth Ellison Finch; she is named in her brother John' will. The other Elizabeth is wrongly connected to this profile.
