Eliza was the daughter of John William and Ruth Ann {Scott} Godfrey of Nova Scotia. John Godfrey was a ship's carpenter, whose career took him to Maine. Eliza married John T. Freeman on 25 November 1852 in Truro, Barnstable County, Massachusetts.
John and Eliza Freeman lived most of their lives together in Rockland, Maine, where John worked as a marine engineer and ship’s carpenter. They had five children, William Kellen, born in 1853, John Henry, born in 1858 and Anna B. Freeman, born in 1863. Anna died at the age of 18 months. The 1880 census shows the family consisting of William K, born 1853, a sailor, living at home, Louise A., born 1863 and Carrie B., age 12, born 1868. Louise married Ernest Gray at Rockland on December 27, 1883.
The birth record of William Kellen Freeman shows he was born at Truro, Cape Cod, Mass. on December 29, 1853 and his mother’s name is shown as Eliza Godfrey. It is unknown whether the family was living in Truro at that time.
In 1865, the family lived on Atlantic Street in Rockland. Later, John and his wife lived at 3 Linden Street, Rockland. John died in 1897 and his widow lived on in Rockland until her death on June 24, 1917 in Boston. It is unclear why she was working as a housekeeper for L. A. Gray in Boston at the time of her death at age 87. Also, it is not known whether L.A. Gray was related to Eliza's son-in-law, Ernest Gray, although that would seem rather likely. Eliza was buried alongside her husband at Jameson’s Point in Rockland, now known as Seaview Cemetery.
