Eliza Jane
Smith
1846 – 1905
Daughter of Wyatt Smith & Euseba Fortenberry
Eliza married twice, first to David Jackson McClendon & later to John Norvel Fortenberry. Looking at census records, I have been able to find her with her parents and with her second husband but not with her first husband. Fortunately, the 1880 census shows children from both marriages.
