Notes:

Steuben County history names Eleanor as Eleanor Dow, born Tompkins Co.,NY. Newspaper marriage notice of Eleanor Dow and Joel Russell at Tompkins Co. Clerks office shows Eleanor "of Hector". The only Dow from that area for decades was one Hon. John Dow. John Dow stated in a autobiography that he married twice and had two children, both from his first wife. The children were Polly who married John Dunham and Lucy who married Greeley Davis. The mother of these two daughters would have been to old to be the mother of Eleanor. County histories state Roswell Shephard of Reading Center, married one of John Dow's daughters and resided in Reading Center. The daughter couldn't have been John's natural daughter, but an adopted daughter from his second wife Temperance Leek, who is shown as living in Hector in the 1820 census. In the 1865 census she is living with her son-in-law Roswell Shephard and daughter Anna Maria. The census indicates she had a total of 5(five) children. In Anna Maria Shephard's death cert., her parents are listed as Daniel Leek and Temperance Corwith. Back to Eleanor, as her name is given as Eleanor Dow, much like her sister, Anna Maria Dow, Eleanor Dow is in fact Eleanor Leek, daughter of Daniel and Temperance Leek. One additional note, in the 1855 Census, Eleanor is shown as being born in New Jersey, versus Tompkins Co.,NY as stated by the history. I would have to believe the Census record more because she was most likely present when the census taker came around. The history was written almost thirty years after her death and was given to the author by Joel Russell, who would believe she was born in Tompkins Co., because that is where she was from when he met her.
