Who was Eliza Moore? She married William Thompson in Dallas County, Ia. 12 August 1858. William had married in 1840 in Knox County, Ohio, lived in Porter Co., Indiana in 1850 and in 1855 took a land grant in Dallas County, IA. The family is shown on the 1856 Iowa State Census. Family story says his first wife died in 1857-8. The only Eliza Moore listed in the 1856 census in Dallas Co. has a husband Nathan and that couple was still together in 1860. No family story has come down about Eliza Moore Thompson's origins. She was born in Ohio in 1833 and told the census taker in 1880 and 1900 her parents were born New York. She died 08 Sept. 1901 and is buried in East Linn Cemetery. I have not found an obit or death record but plan to drive out to that area on a nice day and visit the libraries in Adel, Redfield, and Dallas Center to see what might be there. Any ideas appreiated.
