Calamity came in a pair for the Ellingwood family in 1844. Elizabeth had just died and was still at home when, around the corner, the cabinet shop of her brother-in-law Ebenezer Ellingwood caught fire. The large house of the Kittredge family across Federal Street from the Ellingwood house burned to the ground. The First Church of Beverly across Cabot Street from both also caught fire, but it was put out. With the Ellingwood house threatened, Elizabeth's body was moved to a neighbor's as a precaution.

Captain Ezra Ellingwood Captain
A short synopsis of Ezra's early sailing days follow:
Nov. 1804: sailed on the ship Endeavor under Capt. James Buffington from Philadelphia to Marseilles.
Aug. 1805: sailed on the Endeavor under Jeremiah Page to Isle de France.
Dec. 1806: aboard the brig Industry under Capt. Jonathan Cook for "Leghorn (Italian city of Livorno)."
Oct. 1807: sailed on the schooner Two Brothers under Capt. Nathaniel Fowler for the West Indies.
Apr. 1809: sailed as a mate aboard the schooner Anson under Capt. Zachariah Morgan for French Guiana.Ezra Ellingwood appears on a list of soldiers in the War of 1812. He served between 21 June and 22 August 1814 in Capt. Lamsons company of Lieut. Col. Levi Dodges (third) regiment.
Ezra as ship master is so far a mystery. He hasn't yet been positively connected with any ships as the captain. He was co-owner of the bark San Francisco (168 tons), registered on 6 August 1839.
Ezra co-owned the brig Poconocket (149 tons), registered on 30 September 1853. His partner and master of the boat was his brother-in-law Joseph Thissell Haskell. The boat was registered again on 13 August 1856 under the ownership of Ezra and his sister-in-law Augusta Obear. The ship was lost at sea.
A tiny notebook found in the collection of Virginia Carpenter records payments made by Ezra in connection with two schooners, Bunker Hill and German. Of German nothing further has been found, but Bunker Hill, with dimensions of about 79 feet length, 23 feet width and 127 tons. It was registered at Salem in March 1832 and at Beverly in June of that year under the ownership of Ezra and Henry Larcom, a cousin by marriage.
From Beverly tax records circa 1829 we learn that Ezra was part owner of (John) Safford's Wharf. Ezra had vessels, stocks and cash on his list. It is safe to say that he was financially comfortable.
The 1829 taxes finally say that Ezra owned a house and land and John was part owner. Ezra's personal property of the greatest value were "stock in trade, vessel & money" totaling $6,500 in value.
Ezra married Elizabeth Haskell in 1834. Perhaps due to his new familial relationship, Ezra was appointed guardian of Elizabeth's under-age siblings (who were orphaned in 1829) Ezra and his growing family moved to a house on the southwest corner of Cabot and Federal Streets on what was known as Ellis Square by 1850.
The City of Beverly decided to widen Cabot Street in 1900, and took the front yard and even the steps off the house, but Ezra's daughters, now living in the house by themselves, had no intention to move. After years in that state, it was only after Melanie died in 1924 that Ella moved out and the house was, according to the family, torn down.
Ezra was a Beverly's selectmen for the years 1832 through 1835. For two years he was a candidate to represent the town in the county legislature.
He is said to have donated land for building a parsonage, and his will indicates that he retained part-ownership of at least that house. This was very likely for the Washington Street Congregational Church. He was one of three men who oversaw the construction of the church building in 1836-1837. Ezra was also a director of the Bank of Beverly.

28085. Lyman Haskell Ellingwood
Nothing is known of Lyman's early life. From the Beverly vital records it's apparent that he was to be called Samuel, surely after his grandfather Haskell, but "Lyman" Haskell was ultimately chosen.
Lyman's considerable involvement in the Civil War will eventually be outlined on this page based on field reports. He was dishonorably discharged from the army for what was supposedly a deceitful claim that he needed to attend to his sick father.
The rest of Lyman's life continued to be poorly represented in public records. In 1867 his father willed him one sixth of his house and land at Federal and Cabot Streets in Beverly. He only appears in one census as an adult in 1910 and several New York City directories.
The New York Times reported his death in a brief notice and that, as a surrogate matter, he left his townhouse at 144 W. 80th St. to Gertrude A. Dubois. The 1910 census lists her as born in Louisiana and Lyman's servant. In the 1880s she appears on several ship passenger lists from London to New York as an attendant to Charlotte Draper, wife of Dr. John C. Draper. Father and son named John Draper were on the science faculty at New York University, and the elder John was a pioneer in photography. Lyman also traveled with the Drapers on these transatlantic voyages. John, Jr.'s, widow lived with Lyman for a time in his townhouse, which explains Gertrude's appearance there after her death. Leaving her his townhouse seems odd, but deed records may reveal that the Drapers, who had no children, had left the house to Lyman, and upon his death, to Gertrude. Lyman and Gertrude are buried in the Draper plot at Woodlawn Cemetery in Bronx, NY. Lyman's great-niece Virginia (Ellingwood) Carpenter referred to some of the pieces of silver in the family as being from the Drapers. No clue has been found to explain this significant connection.
Lyman's death certificate says that he died of "broncho pneumonia, acute articular rheumatism" and "endocarditis" at his townhouse and that he was a "broker." The census calls him a commission merchant. He was likely a broker for commercial goods of some sort. In 1900 he can be found writing to the U. S. Army, Ordinance Department, as Treasurer of the Dittmar Powder & Chemical Company, 309 Broadway.
Adding to Lyman's mystique is his will. It was excerpted in local papers because of its damning statements about his sisters and brother Edward. He gave them each a dollar and said that was all they deserved for taking sides against him and not being in contact with him for about 30 years. No details are given, leaving us to wonder what happened. It may have been over Lyman's dishonorable discharge, but why 20 or so years later? He said he didn't know if Edward was still alive, and this may have been true for all of the remaining family. He hasn't been found in a single record after the 1850 census. Family tradition says that he turned up from time to time to ask for money - the proverbial black sheep.
An article posted at the "Beverly Citizen" website in 2005 discusses some lore surrounding the Ellingwood sisters. The author says that their lives nearly stopped in time during the Civil War, foregoing such things as repairs to the house and buying new clothes in favor of pining for a lost brother. Lyman is said to have been the brother, but if there was pining, it was undoubtedly for Edward. The sisters may very well have been eccentric, but to what degree their characterization in the article is true won't ever be known. There is a photograph of them with their mother, none of whom look like they were happy to oblige. They were not wearing Civil War era dresses, but one of the sisters had a medal pinned to her. It is an odd picture.
