Hi Robin,

I know you have the Bellamy's traced back to the 1700's, but thought I would post Ella just in case.

I didn't find John in 1920; there is a possiblity that this could be him in 1930. More research would be needed to prove it is the right John Bellamy:

SSDI
Zirhut, George 4 Sept 1886 d. January 1971 Champaign/Champaign IL

One World Tree gives date of death as 6 January 1971 for George A. Zirhut and 13 December 1964 for Ella Louise Zirhut. Possibly you could get someone to look up obits in Champaign. Their daughter Helen E. reportedly married a Robinson. Marriage date for George and Ella was given as 12 July 1908 Prescott, AZ [Yavapai County]. Wonder what Ella was doing way out in Arizona?


Thomas Wilson Shawcross has a tree at Ancestry for Charles Bellamy; he has information on Effie L. Bellamy, b. Dec 1887 and also shows James and John as children; only the 3 listed with Charles in 1900 are shown as his children, although Thomas states that Elizabeth had 9 children and 5 lived. That doesn't work with Lucinda, Priscilla, Effie, Ella, James and John, and maybe Margaret.
But he has an interesting story about Effie, she was born 9 December 1887 and died 19 Feb 1909. Buried in Bower Cemetery in Jackson County, she married Joseph C. Bower. Thomas states that Joseph was out visiting his girlfriend and Effie had a child while all alone in a cold house. When Joseph returned, she was dead and the baby supposedly died 2 days later [Lester L. Bower] The problem with that story is that Lester is also buried in Bower Cemetery and he was born in 30 October 1907 and died 21 Feb 1909, 2 days after Effie. He would have been 17 months old. Perhaps she was pregnant with a baby who came early and it wasn't Lester. Maybe you can find out something further from him, let me know if you need an email address for him.
He also has Charles W. Bellamy b. 10 November 1850 in Scottown, IN [all census gives TN] and died in July 1936; He is supposed to be buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery, no location given. Maybe Thomas can help further. Let me know if I have left any holes in census, etc. I'll try to fill whatever you need.
Regards,
Barbara
