  The Freedman's Mississii Marriage index for Natchez calls her Eliza Ann. Her and her husband Hezekiah, reported that they were 21 years old. She would have been much younger than reported.

  [S16] Census Data - Ancestry.com, Ancestry.com, (Ancestry.com) (Reliability: 3). 07/18/2007: Discovered an 1870 Census with the Billings Family. Census taker wrote, Hez. for short and wrote Elsie and Ailsey. - R. Finley Sr. 1900 Census Info In the 1900 census, Elsie is listed as L.C. It's likely, the census taker misunderstood the name and wrote what he phonetically heard. - R. Finley Sr. UPDATE: 10/29/2006 I just found an 1880 census that has some interesting stuff. There was a Hezekiah Jr and a Johnson Billings! Also, Elsie is indeed her name. The census taker in 1900 must have been out to lunch. They also listed a niece (age 12).. a Catherine Jones -- R. Finley Sr. There is another Robert Billings that was born in 1887 with wife and child located on the the 1910 census, but this Robert is 19 years younger than Charles Billings. I doubt this is relevant but kept jest in case. - R.
