• Suffix	^
  Birth	27 Sep 1816	NY   [1, 3, 4, 5]
  Gender	Female
  Census	1850	Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1]
  	She was living with her husband and family.
  Census	1860	Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [6]
  	She was living with her husband and family.
  Census	1870	Bellport, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [7]
  	In the 1870 census, a "Louisa" was enumerated in the normal position for the wife. In 1880, Eliza was again enumerated as Alfred's wife; and their joint gravestone contains Eliza's name with a death date of 1896. I therefore conclude that "Louisa" was an error by the enumerator, and it should have been Eliza. However, her age was recorded as 52 (b. 1818), which is not in complete agreement with Eliza's birth date of 1816.
