Biography
Eliza Unknown was born about 1817 in Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas.
Eliza Amelia Unknown married Benjamin Russell.
In 1847 Eliza sailed from the Bahama Islands to Key West, Monroe County, Florida, USA with her husband; three sons, William H. and Benjamin A. and John; and one daughter, Susan.
A second daughter, Elizabeth was born in Key West, Monroe County, Florida, USA in 1849. [1]
In the 1850 census she was called Eliza (short for Elizabeth), but in the 1860 Census the wife was called Sarah. Could this have been her middle name OR could the husband have remarried ?
She died in Key West, Monroe County, Florida, USA.
