<ref name="Rampersad">Ellison se biograaf, Rampersad, skryf: "Vir die grootste deel van sy lewe sou Ralph 1914 aanbied as die korrekte jaar", en Rampersad erken dat die 1920Verenigde V.S.A.State Sensusse sensus van 1920 Ellison as "ses jaar oud" lys. 'n OorblywendeNota nota uitvan sy moeder se hand wat gehou is agter 'n foto van Ellison "as 'n peuter, stel egter sy tyd en datum van geboorte vas as 1:30 a.m. op Saterdag, 1 Maart 1914. Maar 1 Maart het in 1913 op 'n Saterdag geval en nie in 1914 nie. Iemand het 1913 na 1914 verander nadat dit uitgevee is.". Meer bewyse kom uit Ellison se herinnering van sy vader se dood: Ellison "het altyd daarop aangedring dat hy drie jaar oud was toe die ergste tragedie van sy lewe gebeurplaasgevind het: Op 19 Julie 1916 toe sy vader na 'n operasie beswyk het."</ref><ref name="isbn-9780375408274"> Rampersad, Arnold (2007).
