We have a bit of legend recorded by the old folks here in Texas in 1960, as follows:"Elizabeth (Eliza Jane) was the daughter of Mary Alice Hope and Edmond Middick (originally from England).Mary Alice was a nurse and married a Dr. Hope in Iowa and they were followers of Alexander Campell.Mary Alice and Edmond Middick settled in Robertson County, Texas, where he was buried.He was a blacksmith and woodcutter.Elizabeth was black headed and brown eyed.Her family, the Middicks, moved to Lee County, Illinois to raise horses.Her father died shortly after a heroic act of lifting the wheel of a wrecked train."
Please let me know if we have any kind of link.The Elizabeth mentioned above was born in 1859.
