Biography

Eliza was born in in England about 1809. She married Ham Brown (abt.1807-abt.1897) in December, 1831 and together it's believed they had nine children: Edgar Elliott, Ephrim Morgan, Agnes Simmons, Temperance Simmons (Brown) Hill (1840-1909), Charlton Simmons, Lavinia Rachel, Lydia Mary (Brown) Dove (abt.1845-abt.1908), Reuben Ham, and Francis Jacob.

Their first six children were born in England and immigrated to America, on the ship Douglas, with their parents, arriving in New York City in May 1845. At the time of their departure Eliza was expecting Lydia, who is believed to have been born on the voyage to America (birth location New York).

By 1850 the family is found in Indiana and in Iowa in 1860. Ham dies in 1877, and Eliza is last found in the 1880 US Federal Census with son Rueben in Kansas. Eliza dies in 1893 in Hallstead, Harvey County, Kansas and is buried at the Hallstead Cemetery.
