Eliza B. Risen, was my GreatGrandmother. I have spoke with one of her Granddaughters (daughter of Melvin Townsend) this year and was told Eliza was married 3 times, once to a Brandenburg and to 2 different Townsends.I've found the first Townsend (George Washington) and the Brandenburg (Scott) but I haven't been able to find the second Townsend or what happened to her after the 1910 census. This side of the family didn't talk much about their family.I also talked with a distant cousin in Kentucky and she told me that George Washington Townsend ran off with Eliza's sister, Mary Jane Risen, and went out west.Eliza filed for and was granted a divorce from George. George and Mary Jane returned not long before George died.Mary Jane is listed in the 1900 census living with her father.She has 2 children with the last name Risen, do not know who the father is (would they be George's?). This is what I have on the Risen family.
