There are several ways Eliza last name was spelt! The few records show it to be Say or Saye. Her parents were Robert & M. E. Say as it was listed on the 1870 Census. I don't know if they could read or write so the spelling was probably who ever wrote it for them. Eliza marriage records show her last name as Saye. No record showed her last name to be Saife. Eliza was Jeff Duke first wife . She passed away 4 months after marriage to Jeff. I don't have a death record so we don't know if she was ill or miscarried a baby. I think the dates we have for her Uncle Clyde found when he researched in the early 1980.
