Research Notes

There was a Data Doctor Hint 591: FindAGrave - Possible father for Eliza. Upon research, I found that Find a Grave and FamilySearch both have Stephen Elliott as the father of Eliza. Stephen's biography includes that he had a daughter, "Eliza Elliott 1835–1913 m. 1859 William Nelson Clift, 3 children."

There was a Data Doctor Hint 592: FindAGrave - Possible mother for Eliza. Upon investication, I found that Find a Grave and FamilySearch have Mary(Carroll) Elliot as the mother of Eliza. Mary's biography includes that he had a daughter, "Eliza Elliott 1835–1913 m. 1859 William Nelson Clift, 3 children."

FamilySearch Family Tree is showing 14 children for Stephen and Mary. The additional names in FamilyjSearch need to be investigated to see if they are truely their children.

Eliza is the only child of Stephen and Mary even though tdhere eight listed in their biographies. Eliza's siblings need to be connected or added to WikiTree.

FamilySearch shows a James Clift (1860 – 1861) 9K8S-L8P, as a third child that needs to be added or connected to/in WikiTree if he really is the son of Stephen and Mary.
