    In the 1850 and 1860 census, Elizabeth (also known as Eliza) is enumerated with her second hudband, J H Elliott.  She is reported as 30 years old in 1850, 40 years old in 1860, and their oldest chidl is 7/17 years old, meaning born about 1843.  That would mean they amrried about 1842, which is the year reported for the death of her first husband, Jonathan Henson, father of Mary Isabella Henson.

    In 1870, they are still in the same location, but the name of the county was changed for a short period after the Civil War, and it is now Davis County.  This census reports Elizabeth's birth place as Kentucky.

    In 1880, Elizabeth is a widow and is reported under what may be her maiden name, Barcroft.  Her daughter Mary Isabella and her second husband, Benjamin Franklin Smith, are living in the household.  Since she is widowed the name Barcroft looks like it could be a second married name of Eliza.  But most genealogies report her maiden name was Barcroft, as the Pfaff genealogy above.

    I have not found a specific record of her maiden name, or of her with her parents.  She may have gone back to using her maiden name after the death of her second husband, James Elliott.  A couple of genealogies report her name as Elizabeth Hambrick Barcroft.  But this is an error.  Hambrick was James' mother's maiden name.  James died in 1876.

    Elizabeth's memorial on Find a Grave reports that Barcroft is her maiden name and rep[ortsd both her parents' names.
