I have been trying to determine the parents of Elizabeth Bancroft described
below:
Seeking information on Elizabeth Bancroft Eldred, d Dec 20, 1842 and is
buried in Tinker Cemetery, Nelson Twp. She was married in Portage Co to Lyman
Eldred of Bedford, OH on Jan 27, 1825. Her age at death, 37 yrs. places heer
year of birth as 1805. Her first child, Nelson Eldred, was born in 1836.
She is buried in what appears to be a Bancroft plot next to the headstone of
Rudolphus Bancroft, son of John Bancroft, also buried nearby. I have not
been able to establish the relationship, if any, to John Bancroft and his
sons.
Elizabeth is my gggrandmother. I would appreciate any suggestions for
further local research or any connection with Bancroft family descendants.

I have checked obituaries and not found hers. I note that you list Bancroft
as an ancestral name. Do you have any info on Elizabeth?
