[S1513] Portrait and Biographical Album, DeKalb County, Illinois, Chapman Brothers, (Chicago, Illinois: Chapman Brothers, 1885.), 241. (Reliability: 3), 31 Dec 2016.
Chauncey Ellwood, Mayor of Sycamore (1885). The portrait of this gentleman, which appears on the opposite page, is a most fitting accompaniment to the PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF DE KALB COUNTY, from the relations he sustains to its citizens and from the fact that he has been a resident within its borders for more than a quarter of a century. He has been a landholder at Sycamore since 1837, when he entered a claim to 80 acres of Government land, receiving his patent for the same dated the 10th day of July, 1844, and signed by the President, John Tyler. His residence is located on a portion of this land now included within the incorporated limits of Sycamore. The comparative condition of the now beautiful city with those primitive days may be estimated from the fact that, when Mr. Ellwood removed hither in 1858, a broad field of wheat fronted on what is now one of the main thoroughfares of Sycamore.
Mr. Ellwood was born Dec. 24, 1816, in Minden, Montgomery Co., N. Y., and is the son of Abraham and Sarah (Delong) Ellwood. The former was born Nov. 7, 1792, in Montgomery County, and was a farmer in the early years of his life ; a respected citizen, having filled various town offices in the town where he resided in New York State ; an active business man, having constructed several sections upon the New York Central Railroad and also upon the enlargement of the Erie Canal, and in the latter years of his life carried on the cooperage business. He died at Sycamore, whither he and wife removed in 1856, his demise occurring August 24, 1872. The mother died at Sycamore Jan. 18, She was born in Montgomery Co., N. Y., Feb. 23, 1795. Both parents belonged to hardy races, tenacious of life and of robust physical development, all of which characteristics are perpetuated in the present generation. The mediate ancestral stock had its origin in the sturdy, stalwart inhabitants that settled the valley of the Mohawk in the State of New
York. Of eleven children born to Abraham Ellwood and his wife ten survive. Nancy, the oldest child,
was married in Montgomery County, her native State, to Livingston D. Walrod, and removed to Sycamore
after the birth of her first child, Joseph, in the fall of 1836. Her second son, James W. Walrod, now deceased, was the first white boy born at Sycamore in 1838. Malinda is the widow of Joseph Sixbury,
and resides at the home of Mr. Ellwood, of this sketch, who is her immediate successor in the order
of birth. A sketch of herself and husband will appear upon another page in this volume. Eliza married
Aaron Barringer, and, after his death, became the wife of O. Bowman. She is now a widow and a
resident of Cherry Valley, Otsego County, N. Y. Chauncey, Reuben, Alonzo, Livingston, Hiram, James E. and Isaac L. were born in the order named. Chauncey, Reuben, Alonzo, James E., all reside at Sycamore, and are represented in this work. Livingston is a physician in Schenectady, N. Y. Hiram and Isaac L., both prominent business men at the city of De Kalb, are the subjects of biographical sketches in the ALBUM of this county. Alida, youngest child, married E. P. Young (deceased), the record of whose life may be found on another page.
