NOTE - It is not clear the exact relationship of Rayme and Richard Ellis. They are believed to be related to Laura Bacon through her first marriage to Edwin Sunderland but of their 4 children, I can find none that had a daughter named Rayma or was married to an Ellis. It appears that Frank never had any children of his own.
