History. Before coming to America, Eliza was a glove maker living in Pershore, Worcestershire, England She was a widow with seven children when she heard the gospel. Immediately joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1841. She decided to cast her lot with the Saints in America. Two of her children had died, and the two oldest children chose to stay in England, but three children accompanied their brave mother as they crossed the great Atlantic Ocean, not knowing what lay ahead.

On the cold of January 1852, Eliza arrived in New Orleans, only to find mobs had driven the Saints from Nauvoo. Now Zion was fifteen hundred miles west, somewhere in the Mexican territory, across the prairie and Rocky Mountains.

Deep in thought, Eliza wrestled with how she, a woman alone with two children, and no knowledge, could make a trip of this nature. Should she give up and return to familiar English surroundings? Eliza knew she wanted the gospel in her family's lives. She had to keep trusting in the Lord to show her a way through her problems.

Making her way North, she arrived in ST. Louis, Missouri where many Saints were gathering to make the trek west. There she met Fredrick Rushton who had just lost his wife to cholera, leaving him with four children to look after. Since they were in similar circumstances, they married.

For three years Eliza and Fredrick stayed in St. Louis, raising the money needed to go west. During this time, Eliza became pregnant, and in time gave birth to Melvinia. But not all was well between Eliza and Fredrick, and before their trek west even began, she separated from him.

Despite their separation, Fredrick saw that Eliza, Melvinia, and her children were cared for on their journey west; and on their arrival in the Valley, Fredrick and Eliza divorced, and Fredrick never remarried again.

Eliza after divorcing Fredrick, was again on her own, but not for long. Daniel Wood, a friend, offered to care for her as the third, of what would be his ten wives. He built her a little house on a corner of his property in Woods Cross. Eliza was a meticulous homemaker, and an expert seamstress, making everything by hand. Here in this house, she lived out her days, sewing and selling fruit to her neighbors from the fruit trees that surrounded her small adobe home, on the Northwest corner of what is now 500 South and Highway 91 in Bountiful.

Though she had endured many hardships, Eliza still knew the Lord was mindful of her and her faithfulness. On one occasion Daniel gave her a beautiful patriarchal blessing, and among other treasured things, she was told by the Lord, "Thy posterity shall be numerous as the sand on the sea shore, and not one of them shall be lost" (Bair, Nell, Eliza). A wonderful promise for her posterity lies waiting to be claimed. She died November 1881 in Woods Cross and is buried in Daniel Wood's private cemetery, located on Highway 91 just north of where her house stood.

Melvinia, Eliza and Fredrick's only daughter, attended Daniel Wood's private school with all Daniel's offspring and other neighborhood children. As Melvinia matured she caught the eye of a young man, named Daniel Moss, whose mother was Daniel Wood's oldest daughter. His father was a young man, John Moss, also from England.
