Joseph Ellice1

d. 6 March 1663/64
Family
Father*______ Ellice
Marriage*He married Ann __?__ in England.1 
Relationship Note*Among the earliest settlers of the town of Dedham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were at least seven individuals who signed their own surnames as "ELLICE", thus distinguishing themselves from other unrelated "ELLIS" families in the Colony. John, Ann and Thomas ELLICE settled with their father Joseph ELLICE. Their mother, possibly also Ann, may have been with them. Richard and Joseph ELLICE settled with their widowed mother Ann ELLICE. These two ELLICE families interacted with each other in Dedham and it is suspected by this researcher that they were related. If Joseph's children and the widow Ann's children were cousins, for example, Ann's deceased husband may have been Joseph's brother. For several generations the ELLICE family maintained their identity through the spelling of their surname. By the beginning of the 18th century, however, those people copying or indexing an original document began to spell their name a variety of ways; Ellis, Elles, Eles, Elces, Allice, Allis were just a few. By the middle 1700s our ELLICE family had become ELLIS.2,3,1 
Death*6 March 1663/64He died on 6 March 1663/64 in Dedham.1,4

Widow Ellice1

d. before May 1658
Family
Marriage*before 1620Her first husband was ______ Ellice. He died, probably in England soon after 1630, and her name was found in the records only as the P2.1 
Marriage*before 1633She married second, as his first wife, Lambert Genery probably before 1633.1,2 
Relationship Note*Among the earliest settlers of the town of Dedham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were at least seven individuals who signed their own surnames as "ELLICE", thus distinguishing themselves from other unrelated "ELLIS" families in the Colony. John, Ann and Thomas ELLICE settled with their father Joseph ELLICE. Their mother, possibly also Ann, may have been with them. Richard and Joseph ELLICE settled with their widowed mother Ann ELLICE. These two ELLICE families interacted with each other in Dedham and it is suspected by this researcher that they were related. If Joseph's children and the widow Ann's children were cousins, for example, Ann's deceased husband may have been Joseph's brother. For several generations the ELLICE family maintained their identity through the spelling of their surname. By the beginning of the 18th century, however, those people copying or indexing an original document began to spell their name a variety of ways; Ellis, Elles, Eles, Elces, Allice, Allis were just a few. By the middle 1700s our ELLICE family had become ELLIS.3,1,4 
Death*before May 1658She died before May 1658.1
