Eliza Myers

(1803 - 3 Nov 1884)

In the 1850 US Census, she is the head of household, so widowed. Birthplace was given as Pennsylvania. There were five children at home in 1850: Ann E, Mary Jane, Hester M, Margaret F, and Theodore. In the 1870 Census, she is living with William Moore and Anna, and Margaret van Winkle who is Eliza's younger daughter. There is also a girl Fanny Clark, age 19 living in the home -- no idea who that is. In the 1880 US Census, she is living with her daughter Anna and son-in-law William Moore Esler. Also living there is Anna Myers, age 79, born in Pennsylvania and described as an aunt to William Moore Esler. Is this Eliza's sister?
