Due to the fact that Eleanor's oldest daughter had Robertson for a middle name, I am was sure that Eleanor's maiden name was Robertson. This was later proven to be true by marriage recordsand court documents.
Janthy's name was found on a paper listing her date of death. This paper was in the family Bible of John Lewis, her second husband.
In the same Bible was a paper which had a small braid of Eleanor's hair and listed her death date.
