Thank you! I did know that Eliza had a brother,Theodore,I didn't know of Thomas & Lewis,but you're right,and there also seems to be another brother,Peter & a sister named Elnora(found those when I cross checked on Family Search,after I recieved your reply)
You see,Eliza has kind of a "twisted spot" in my family tree.She first married Willis Taylor on July 7,1895 in Cadillac,Wexford County.Willis was my GRANDMAS Grt Uncle,they lived in Cherry Grove,Wexford Co,and Eliza worked & took care of Willis' Mom Malissa (my GGGGrandma) in Aug of 1904 Eliza filed for a divorce in Cadillac,stating that Willis was "prone to strong drink,and a mean drunk,the final strw being he came home drunk,accused her of being unfaithful with a neighbor,puled a revolver on her and shot past her head,that divorce was final on Dec 12,1904.The neighbor she was accused of being unfaithful with was thier next door neighbor,John Robinson!! John was my Grandpas-Grandpa!!!! Whose wife,Della,had went "crazy" after the birth of their last child,(maybe postpartum?) anyways,she wouldn't take care of the kids or house,and John put her in the hospital in Traverse City,and divorced her,he also had Eliza coming in and caring for the kids & house!! John & Dellas divorce was also finalized on Dec 12,1904.....but the court had taken the 3 youngest kids from John,and he couldn't get them back until he remarried.........didn't take him long!!
I'm not sure just what happened,but this I know,Eliza will always hold a special place in not only my heart,but my family tree,because she married into both my Moms lines!! Lori
