Marriage Notes:
Name listed as MEDCALF, ELIZABETH on the Illinois Marriage Register of Logan County.
----------------------------------------
The 1870 census shows Elizabeth and daughter, Cora, as "visitors" at the home of M. M. & Elizabeth Merriman. I am not sure of the relationship. I can not find her husband, Alfred, in the 1870 census.
