Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. ADDISON F. ELLAS. The ancestors of the subject of this sketch came from England and settled in America some time previous to the Revolutionary war^ as some of them served in that war. Addison F., son of Dr. Simp- son and Phebe Ellas, was born in Ludlow, Mass., Dec. 16, 1811. Both of his parents were natives of Brattleboro', Vt. His father was born July 27, 1784, and his mother March 15, 1788; they were married about 1808, and soon after removed to Ludlow, Mass. In October, 1815, they settled in Bath, N. Y. Dr. Ellas followed his chosen pro- fession, and, in connection therewith, owned a drug- store during his residence in Bath. Dr. Ellas was a Whig in politics, and held some offices, such as postmaster and magistrate of Bath. On the 5th of October, 1867, he died, and his wife passed away May 8, 1877. Addison F. was engaged in the distilling business when young. At the age of twenty he began to work on the farm, and followed it some four or five years; he then engaged in mercantile business for a few years, after which he was clerk about five years for his brother George. Then he commenced his chosen occupation, that of farming, purchasing one of the good farms, some two miles from Bath, on the Hammondsport road. It consists of some one hun- dred and seventy-two acres of good, productive land, which he still owns. Mr. Ellas has been a good farmer, and success has crowned his effi)rts. He is an upright and industrious man, never aspiring to any of the political honors of his town. He has, however, held some of the minor positions, but always preferred the quiet of the home to any official honors. In politics he affiliates with the Republican party. He married Miss Jennie C, daughter of James Little, of Bath, Feb. 25, 1869. Miss Little was born in Bath, Aug. 28, 1828, and
