Misc. Notes
Elizabeth Henrietta Monroe was very beautiful. Harry must have been very proud of her.

I originally located her in the 1870 Census living with her father H.B. Shaphoff Jr., 17th Ward, Kings Co., NY. Page 59 and stamped 146. U.S. National Archives Microfilm: Roll 958, Page 146

Both Elizabeth H. (Henrietta?) and her daughter Elizabeth Henrietta are called “Lizzie”, even in the 1900 Census in San Francisco.
