  Some genealogies report that her middle name was Lena.  A daughter named Lena is linked to Glenn and Martha Jane on their Find a Grave memorials.  But so is Eleanor.  Further, that Lena's birth place is reported as Towns County.  There is no indication that Glenn and Martha lived in Towns County.  The birthday of the Lena in Towns County is reported to be in 1973, while the ages reproted for Eleanor in the censuses makes her birth about 1869.  This matches the burial memorial for Eleanor L Cowart Taylor.
