Eliza SAINTMYERS

Generation: 1

Eliza SAINTMYERS was born Bef. 1810, PA or VA; died 01 Sep 1893, Frederick Co., VA; was buried Old Stone Church Cemetery, Green Spring.

Notes:

This Eliza 'Saintmyers' (per the marriage record) is presumed to be the daughter of John and Catherine for the following reasons: 1) The Census Records for both 1810 and 1820 reflect a heretofore unidentified daughter, born to them before 1810; 2) The 1860 census has Eliza born c.1818, the 1870 census has her born c.1817; the 1880 census has her born c.1806, and her headstone has her born 1811-12; and 3) Frederick County, where she married and was buried, was a stone's throw away from Browntown, in (then) Shenandoah Co., where John and Catherine long resided. Apart from the (not uncommon) multiple birth-year indications, here are no facts known to us which conflict with this conclusion, and no other families which could even remotely be considered to be her family of origin.

Eliza married Samuel N. MCDONALD 28 Jun 1834, Frederick Co., VA. [Group Sheet]
