Cindy--you say that you know that Eliza married the Robert living with the Links.
How do you know that?It's certainly a possibility.Do you have any documentation?
I haven't been able to find that Robert anywhere in 1860, and Eliza and her Robert were married in 1861.
The Duke family Bible lists Robert as the youngest son born to Taylor and Dicey, in 1825.In 1850 he was living with his brother Washington Duke, and in 1860 he was living with his sister Malinda.
A Robert Duke married Elizabeth Gooch in 1858.The Gooches were near neighbors of Washington Duke.However, this couple is not to be found in any later census.It is my OPINION that Elizabeth Gooch died and that Robert moved in with his sister and then married Eliza later.
War records show that Robert Duke of Orange County deserted camp at Fredericksburg on Feb 27 1863.Eliza Bennett's petition of 1864 shows that he died in Orange County in May of 1863.
The Duke family accepted the son of Robert and Eliza as a relative, although they did not accept her other children, who were born after Robert died, although they took the name Duke.
If you have some proof that Eliza's Robert was the one living with the Links in 1850, I'd be very happy.
