Notes for Eliza Ann (Spouse 2)
Note there are 2 sons named John. One is John Thomas, age 1; the other is John, age 14.

The “Ann” in this 1860 census is Delilah Ann Ennis. She is the mother of Mary, Charles, and John T.

William is married to a different “Ann” in 1850; her maiden name is unknown. She was the mother of Wesley and John W. and must have died before 1860.

John, age 22, and Wesley, age 25, are in shown in Eliza Beach Ennis’ household in 1870, using the Ennis surname. I do not believe Eliza Beach Ennis was their mother; she is too young. Note the 1850 census below; “Ann” must be their mother.

Eliza Beach is married to G W (George William) Ennis in 1860 and Wesley and John are living with them. This also shows that Eliza is too young to be Wesley’s mother. Wesley, John, and Richard Beach are using their step-father’s surname.
