    • Eli, his wife and a daughter called Elizabeth, sailed aboard the ship "Benalla" for their new life in New South Wales. Daughter Elizabeth is a bit of a mystery as her age is given as 6 months and there doesn't appear to be any records of a birth that matches. Alice Louisa was the firstborn daughter but she would have been around 18 months of age at the time of their departure.
