Question: Was Eliza Jane Eells (1833-1900) born to William E. Eells (1805-1847) or Dr.Richard Eells (1800-1846)? If born to William, was she then adopted out to Dr. Eells? If so, why was it necessary for the adoption to take place? I am searching for the answer for my cousin whose grandmother was Eliza. Does anyone have this answer? Paul Gaylord
