Elizabeth Partridge

Elizabeth, or Eliza, was the youngest of six children born to Levi Fairbanks and Molly Fuller of Medway, Wrentham, and Franklin, Mass. Her father died when she was three months old, and her mother was left to raise six minor children. Eliza became a missionary to the Choctaws in Mississippi. It was likely there that she was married on 28 March 1828 to Rev. William Hooper, also a missionary. Her husband died within six months of their marriage, on 8 September 1828. Elizabeth returned home to Franklin, MA in 1850, and soon married a man older than she by about 25 years, Asa Partridge, the son of Eleazer Partridge and Lois Rockwood. Eliza and Asa appear on the 1850 census for Franklin, Mass.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Oct 9 2018, 12:30:16 UTC
