(1817-1904) ------------------------------------------------------------------- History of Braxton County and Central West Virginia by John Davison Sutton Sutton, West Virginia, January, 1919 Page 373 Dr. Albert N. Ellison was born in Lawrence county, Ohio, February 17, 1817. His father, Wm. Ellison, moved from Virginia to Ohio in an early day. His father's name was John, and he came to Virginia with three brothers. Two of them settled in Virginia, and two in Pennsylvania. Dr. A. N. Ellison came to Braxton county about 1840, and settled first at Sutton, but shortly afterward moved to the Little Birch where he made his future home. Dr. Ellison had a large practice. He was for several years a minister in the M. E. Church, South. He was a man of great influence in his community and universally beloved. He married Eliza Mace, and their family consisted of five daughters and two sons. The oldest son, William, was killed at Fredericksburg, Md., being a soldier in the Confederate army. Rev. A. C. Ellison, for several years a traveling minister in the M. P. Church, is living near the old homestead on the Little Birch. Dr. Ellison was a Whig until the slavery question became so prominent at the beginning of the Civil war, when he cast his lot with the South, and volunteered in its defense. He was twice elected Assessor of Braxton county, and was at one time captain of the militia. He died in his eighty-sixth year at his home on the Little Birch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- (wife of A. N.
