Nottingham was originally situated in Chester County, Pennsylvania. In 1769, after the ratification of the Mason Dixon Line, it became part of Cecil County, Maryland. Three generations of this family were clock and instrument makers working in Nottingham. Ellis apprenticed to his father, and he worked with his brothers in the shop. He established the firm of Ellis Chandlee & Brothers, in 1790, shortly before his father's death. The firm was dissolved in 1797 when the youngest brother, John Chandlee, left the firm. Ellis and his brother Isaac worked together from approximately 1792 to 1804.
The case attributed to the shop of Jacob Brown, c. 1795.
