History

Ellettsville was platted in 1837.^[5]^[6] In 1818 Edward Ellett, Sr, and his wife Eleanor settled in what is now known as Ellettsville with their four minor sons: David, Richard, Johnston and Barton. The first winter, they lived in a three-sided log cabin they built.^[7] Also settling that same year were their two eldest sons, William and Samuel, with their wives and families.^[8] Within a few years daughters Sarah, Phoebe, and Nancy would settle in the area with their husbands. Eventually, in 1826, their third eldest son Edward, Jr. also arrived in the town that would be named Ellettsville in 1837.^[9] Samuel Ellett built the first courthouse in 1820. It was completed ahead of schedule and at the cost of $400. By 1822, the first school opened and with Samuel Ellett's children attending.^[10]

When Indiana celebrated its sesquicentennial in 1987, a historical marker was placed to mark the grave of the town's founder, Edward Ellett, Sr.(c.1762-1833).^[10] Two of Edward Ellett's sons, Samuel and Edward Jr., fought for their country in The War of 1812.^[11] In turn, two of the founder's grandsons, James W. Ellett and John H. Ellett, volunteered and fought with the legendary 27th Indiana Volunteer Infantry.^[12]^[13] Both men fought at Gettysburg. James Ellett died in service of his county in 1864 in Alabama while his brother, John Ellett, was wounded at Chancellorsville but survived the War of Rebellion.^[14]^[13] James W. Ellett was interred in 1864 at the Ellett Family Cemetery located just off Red Hill Road to the northeast of town. The family tradition of loyal service to the U.S.A. was later followed by the founder's great great grandson, Dale Ellett, who volunteered to serve his county and died in WWII in 1945 fighting against Nazi Germany.^[15]
