I live in Ripley, OH and there are Ellises in Ripley. I have a copy of Ripley Its History and Families and will check it tonight. You may be able to get the book through Interlibrary Loan; the Ripley Library has two copies, one in reference and one that circulates. There is also a Brown Co. history that was published in the 1880s and another update published in the 1960s.
