EDWARD ELLIS+ of Sudborne, co. Suffolk, who died 1697, by Elizabeth his wife, had issue Elizabeth Ellis, who mar. Henry Benham of Debenham, and an only son,

*The arms borne by this family for Ellis are arg. three eels sa. Crest, a plume of 5 ostrich feathers arg. The arms are the same as those borne by the Norfolk families of Sir S. Ellis (pp. 65 and 149) and Rev. Joseph Ellis of Norwich in the 17th cent. (p. 150).

This family may be descended from Edward Ellis gent. who and his son John Ellis were parties to a fine of lands in Henstead, co. Suff. 1658. Tho. Ellis who died 1802 possessed a family seal on which were engraven these armorial bearings: Quarterly of four. 1. A chevron between three cinqfoils (Woodhouse of Suffolk). 2 and 3. Three lions passant. 4. On a cross sable 5 crescents (Ellis). On an escutcheon of pretence, a lion passant. Crest, a lion passant. Motto, Nemo me impune lacessit.

In Davy's Suffolk Collections (Addit. MSS. Brit. Mus. 19, 158) Ermine a lion passant coward gules are attributed to Ellis of Orford; Crest, on a chapeau, azure, turned up, ermine a lion passant gules, which arms and crest were granted to Ellis of Alrey co. Flint, 1587 (vide pp. 116, 7). It would appear therefore that a Woodhouse had married a heiress of Ellis of Orford, or of some other family of Ellis who bore those arms. But the 4th quartering of the seal of Woodhouse being the coat of Ellis who bore 5 crescents on a cross, indicates a match previously of a Woodhouse with Ellis of some other family, unless it were of the family who bore the lions with an Ellis, possibly with one of the family of Ellis of Chesterton a branch of the Kiddall stock. Probably the assumption by Ellis of Orford of the lion passant is one of numerous cases of families, who after a generation or two having neglected to use their ancestral coat armour, take in their ignorance other bearings.
