I have seen Eleanor's middle initial given as "A.", but this is not well attested. She seems not to have used an initial when signing her name. I believe that her birth date in Greenwood town records is given as 5 Sept. 1829, but you might want to confirm this. The other info you've given matches mine.

What is your source for her birth as 19 Sep 1829? I thought the Greenwood Town Record of Births gave it as 5 Dec 1829. Needs to be checked. The 1900 census of Woodstock gives her birth as Sep 1829 (no precise day). What you are doing is very admirable. She certainly deserves it and more. A great woman!
