Ellinwood, Ralph {I2368} (b. 1607, d. 1673)
Note: The site of ralph Ellinwood's first home has not been determined, but the following facts raise the question as to whether or not he ever resided in Salem proper. The land grant of December 1637, mentioned earlier was "marsh and meadow land." The previous year, ferry service had been established from Massey's Cove just easterly from the foot of Conant Street, Salem, to Bass River on the north shore; first at salt house Point, later at the head of the river. In 1649 the north end of the ferry was again changed to a landing near the present Essex bridge. In April, 1641, Ralph Elwood is named in connection with the fence that leads to Ipswich.

Stone states that "a settlement by an Ellingwood (probably Ralph) was made on Fox's or Ellingwood's Point. The flats from the old ferry-way to the Point were granted by Salem to one of the Ellingwood's in compensation for supporting a pauper by the name of Lambert. The deed of this land is extebt' The biography of
Frank Ellinwood quotes the grant:

ye 11th month of 1659, where by he, the said Ellinwood
is to have all the waste land that is common from the
East side of his lot, to the Point, and so round before the
river, so far as his land goeth; with all the marsh or creek
therein. And further he hath Liberty to fence on the east
side of his lot down to low water marke.

Salem records for June 22, 1653, state that 'Ralph Elwood of Salem, planter, sold
one acre near Ipswich ferry to Francis Skerry" who operated the ferry at that time.

Ralph's name appears among the 50 signers "Wee whose names are vnder written to the brethren & sisters belonging to Bass River..."who petitioned for a
separate church on the north shore April 23, 1667. It again appears among the 52 signers of the Convenant & Confessions of faith of the new/Beverly/church, September 20, 1667.

The following year beverly became an independent town, Perley's map of the houses and land holdings, shows Ralph's land as comprising the entire point west of the present Ellingwood Court, Beverly, his home at what is now the junction of Congress and Porter Streets.

His will, dated jan 07, 1673, was proved May 03, 1674, so that death came when he was in his 66th or 67th year. We do not know whether he was penniless when he landed in salem or not, certainly he was far from wealthy as his name never
occurs among the leaders of the community. There is no record of his having held public office- he never achieved the distiction of "Mr.", the designation of a gentleman. On the other hand he had served within nine years of his arrival, he owned cattle (which could not have been to plentiful), 29 years after the first white man landed in New England, and at his death left a sizeable estate.

Ralph was probably buried in the "Ancient Burying Ground" adjacent to the church on cabet Street which was set aside for the purpose by the town of Beverly in 1672. No records of the exact site are known.
