[Laura's note: According to my preliminary research, I believe I have the four married names correct, but am not 100% sure on the order of the last two. There are marriage records for an "Eleanor Chambers" marrying Edwin Hendrick in 1864, but later census records and her obituary are listed under the Chambers name so I don't know if she took that name back - or never took the Hendrick name in the first place. More research would be needed to clarify.]
