"Eliza Rutledge, third child of William and Fanny Elliott Rutledge, was born in 1782. [Unsure! Robert was born 1782 - TR] In 1804, at the age of twenty-two, she married John Hawkins, of County Tyron, Ireland, who was ten years her senior. I can not find out with whom she came to this country, or at what date. She was married in New York City, and resided there for sixteen years, removing thence to Toronto, Canada West. They lived on a farm sixteen miles out of the village. She and her husband were Methodists. She died in 1859, aged seventy-seven years--a Christian life ended in a peaceful death."
