I can't say whether it fits or not - we only discovered the Eliza Jenkins connection in 2003, and my husband's family had been looking for years. I do know that I remember seeing 2 women named Eliza Jenkins on the 1880 census for Carroll County. If I turn up anything that pertains to Eliza and a man named Washington, I'll be sure to run a post on it, but to date I haven't seen anything.
The Eliza J. Jenkins we have in our family seems to have dropped off the map shortly after the birth of my husband's grandfather and his brother/s (we think they were born between 1882-1886). One of the descendants of a younger step-sibling says there was a report in the family that this wife may have gone insane or something, but we can't find any record of her - or even of her father and brothers and sisters - after 1800. It seems likely that something strange happened to her because neither of the known children were raised by their father. They were raised by other families and allowed contact with their father. We still can't find any trace of the brother named Charlie Robertson.
We are hoping to locate someone who knows of a small family cemetery that is situated in the east or north east portion of the township, that hasn't been reported to the Carroll county historical society's cemetery list, containing the names of Jenkins family members. So far, we have had no luck.
