Despite the fact that her tombstone says she died in 1840, Eleanor actually died before 1834. Documents in the estate papers of her father show that the Court ordered the administrators of her estate, W. Wallis and Dan Alexander, to settle with her guardian W. J. Wilson in August 1834. Included in these documents was the cost of the tombstone that she ordered for her father.
