Also in 1835, Hannah NILES married Abram NOYES in Wheelock VT.  Abram was born in VT 6/21/1793 and died in Detroit MI 6/17/1842.  Hannah then married John WOOD December 1, 1842.  Need any information on these marriages as well if that's possible.

Also, Eliza was in the 1870 Census for Vernon Co, WI along with her four sons, minus her husband, Harrison ELLIS.  We think he may have died in the Civil War.
I found in my search someone who may be my gggrandfather, in IGI Record which reported:  a Harrison ELLES, born 03 Jan 1817, Walden Twp., Caledonia County, VT, Father: John ELLES, Mother: Jaminia.
I also found this census record: John ELLIS in the 1820 Fed Census for Walden, Caledonia, VT
Does anyone know of ELLES or ELLIS family who lived in Walden or surrounding area?
I also found a Harrison ELLIS in Monroe, Washington, VT in the 1840 Census with a woman that could be Eliza and my Harrision ELLIS may have relocated in this new place.
