Hiya Jess, Thanks for your response! I had thought of that, but trying to figure out who yet another Elizabeth is overwhelming because I have been chasing the Elizabeth in the 1861 and all later censuses for ages! If they are two different Elizabeth's though, then the second one could have been married to a Holley...but I can find nothing on the net about a Holley that married an Elizabeth, nor can I find a James Barton married to an Elizabeth Holley. :( Thanks again!
