It seems peculiar that John Ellis, who married Richard's sister in 1594, only claimed to have known him since around 1612.

"Henry Cullens (or Cullandt) of Sutton-cum-Lound, and Anne Peck of Lound were cited in 1603 for not attending church... Cullandt and Peck were later members of the Leiden congregation... Anne Peck was, no doubt, related to John Peck, who was among six offenders cited for not attending church at Sutton-cum-Lound in 1598. [footnote: The others cited for non-attendance were Richard Ellis, Robert Bingham, Robert Barker, Glyn Chauntry, and Isabel Thurland...]

"Also in Kent, the non-conformists of Sandwich included Moses Fletcher and Richard Masterson, who soon became members of the Leiden congregation of John Robinson. As Michael Paulick has discovered in his thorough study of the Sandwich separatists, from which I have learned the following, Richard Masterson’s brother-in-law John Ellis, who vouched for Masterson’s character in Leiden, was ex-communicated in Sandwich twice (evidently having been re-instated once)...

"Richard Masterson was ex-communicated on January 1614, but this was reduced to an admonition. Whether this was (18947i?) Richard Masterson, Sr., or Richard Masterson, Jr., (who soon moved to Leiden and eventually to Plymouth Colony) is unclear. Both were named in October, 1614, with others including John Ellis as among the chiefest sowers of these sectes' who had failed to `suppress the sayd hereticall practise,' but instead `have underhand may[n]teyned and protected the offenders]...'

"Paulick has demonstrated that the separatist activity in Sandwich was simultaneous with that in the Scrooby area and that it provided as many as thirty or forty members of the Leiden congregation, including the `Chilton, Fletcher, Masterson, Ellis, Munck, Bartlett, Shingleton, Basset, Wilson, Cricket,' and other families. To consider the ferment around Clyfton, Brewster, Smyth, and Robinson as an isolated origin of the Pilgrim movement is, therefore, an inaccurate simplification..."

There is some confusion as to which John Ellis is which, who came on which ship, etc. There also seems to be no certainty as to which British Ellises our Johns descend from.

"We don't know (9479) Faith Hodsoll's birth name. All we know is that, in his will of 1 Aug 1617, proved 16 Nov 1617, (9478) John Hodsoll named his wife's daughter (9479[1]a) Faith Bacon. The Gratwick connections were only introduced when his son, also named (9479vi) John Hodsoll, married (9479vi) Elizabeth Gratwick, daughter of John Gratwick of Cowfold, whom (9479vi) John Jr., in his will fo 11 Jun 1628, proved 25 Nov 1628, named as father-in-law. (9478) John Hodsoll Sr.'s will also clearly names (18956) John Hodsoll as his father."
