His wife was Mary E. and he had a son, Daniel b. ca. 1867. I believe Mary E was the first wife of my gg grandfather, Edward W. Wood. Ed and Mary were in Taney Co MO in 1860 with their sons Columbus Burl, b.1862 and John, b. 1859. Burl is living with Eli and Mary in 1870 in Stoddard Co, and with Edward and his second wife, Amanda, in Carroll Co AR in 1880. Edward and Amanda return to Taney Co MO ca. 1881. This is quite a mystery and any help in solving it is greatly appreciated!
