Donna,
Here's another possibility for the elusive Eliza?

1870 US CENSUS INDIANA Marion co. Indianapolis 2nd Ward
Series M593 Roll338 Page 65
2 February 1870
COLGAN, Henry 56 m w overseer on farm Kentucky
COLGAN, Frances 56 f w keeps house Kentucky
COLGAN, Henrie(tte) 26 f w schoolteacher Illinois
COLGAN, Mary 24 f w schoolteacher Illinois
COLGAN, Judson 16 m w at school Illinois

next page but this data would be included in the same household above:
CANNELL, Eliza 28 f w schoolteacher NewYork (2 tick marks in columns for "Parents of Foreign Birth)
SMITH, Martha 20 f w cook Kentucky
SMITH, Erasmus 22 m w blacksmith Kentucky

Note: Discrepancies: last name, age However, 2 pluses birthplace and the fact that "Parents of Foreign Birth" columns were checked. Someone other than herself may have given the information to census taker. I checked the COLGAN family in 1860 and then again in 1880, Eliza doesn't appear with the family in either of those censuses.
