Eliza was the daughter of Andrew Thompson, a Scottish immigrant and revolutionary solder and Elizabeth Young a Connecticut native. She married Amos Mansfield in 1825 and they were the parents of three children: Jane Elizabeth Mansfield Tanner (1825-1903); Albert Mansfield (1828-1905) and Louisa Mansfield Smith (1830-1874).
Mrs. Eliza Mansfield, wife of Rev. Amos Mansfield, and daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth Thompson, of DeWitt, Onondaga County, N.Y., died of apoplexy in Rutland, Tioga County PA., on December 5, 1864. Sister M. was born September 20, 1801, in DeWitt, formerly Manlius, Onondaga County, N.Y.. She was converted and joined the M.E. Church when only sixteen years of age, it is thought, under the labors of Zenas Jones. In 1825 she was married to Amos Mansfield, who became quite widely known as an active and talented Methodist preacher. Our departed sister, ever since her conversion, was numbered as one of God's faithful children, "Holding fast the the profession of faith, without wavering", and was always known as a consistent christian. The voyage of her life was not altogether over a quiet sea, but amid the storm and the breakers , she felt the power of the Master's presence, whose unseen hand we doubt not has guided her safely to the port of everlasting rest. Her last sickness was brief. About a year since, she recived a shock of paralysis that prostrated her for a time, from which she had measurably recovered. On Thursday, Dec. 1, while returning from a visit to a near neighbors, she received the fatal shock that soon loosened the silver cord, broke the golden bowl at life's cistern and gave the happy spirit freedom to return to the God who gave it. She leaves an aged husband, one son and two daughters all married, a large circle of grandchildren and relatives to mourn their great loss, and cherish, the memory of a now saluted mother.
