I am looking for someone who may know about an Eliza Risher. She was born to a white father and a slave mother. She however, passed for white.
She was born abt. the year 1844 in Mississippi. I know no more than that. She is in Graham Township, Jefferson County Indiana ( on census) attending college. She passed herself off as white on the census. She later married a white man and became a school teacher.
