| Notes: From the ages given on the
census, Eliza was apparently born before the marriage of Howell LEWIS and
Rebecca FOSTER. However, all of her children are named in Howell LEWIS'
probate records (Jasper Co, IL) as his grandchildren and heirs-at-law. So,
she may have been a child of Howell by a previous marriage or perhaps
adopted. On the 1870 census, Allen TAYLOR is living with the children and a
new wife in Spencer Twp, Jennings Co, IN, so it is assumed that Eliza has died. |
