Peggy thanks for your reply - in the intervening 3 years since my original post I found where the land was and the family that it went to. Interestingly enough it went to an Ankeny family, who had one of their sons go to FL and start a village "Ankona" on the SE coast of FL, about 5 miles from where I grew up. Couldn't get the connection to why Eliza sold the property to the Ankeny's but... Eliza didn't really even know where her husband died... poor dear.
Thanks for your help.
