    ... 84. Eliza Greenleaf, b. 17 Jan., 1798; m. 8 Dec., 1825, Joseph Gilbert Waters, esq., son of Capt. Joseph and Mary (Dean) Waters, b. 5 July, 1796; d. 12 Jul 1878. They had Joseph Linton, Penn Townsend, Edward Stanley, Henry Fitz Gilbert and Charles Richardson, all now living except Penn T. Waters. Of these sons one only has married, viz., Edward S. Waters, civil engineer, who by wife Marietta, daughter of the Hon. Lyman Barney of Cranston, R.I., has one son, Penn Townsend Waters, b. 20 Jan., 1868, who thus still keeps alive a name that has been borne continuously by a Penn Townsend or a Penn Townsend Waters since 20 Dec., 1651. Mrs. Eliza G. Waters, the venerable grandmother of this lad, is still living in full health and vigor.
