(1820 - 3 Apr 1863)



Eleazar was listed as living with with his father and stepmother in the 1850 Census. Occupation: Cooper, as were his half-brothers' Harvey and Ira.

This does not seem to be this Eleazer, but it does not seem to be a common name. Perhaps the marriage didn't work out, or she died soon after.
