4851 LKH note:
Illinois deaths and stillbirths index lists her parents, Frank Demoss and Rosiebell Blankinship, and her husband Hardy Norris.
I have not yet found documentation for her marriage or any further information about Hardy Norrris.
Her death certificate only lists Danville, Illinois as place of burial but does not specify which cemetery. I have not yet found any record of her burial on Find a Grave either under any combination of the the names of Hallie, Alberta, Demoss, or Norris. 
Demoss, Hallie Alberta (I866)
 
4852 LKH Note:
In the 1850 US census the household of Charles and Sarah Hall appear to include children that Charles had with a previous wife, plus two children: Lucretia Connor, age 7, and Nancy J. Connor, age 5, that appear to be children that Sarah had with a previous husband. That would make Sarah's surname of Conner is from her previous husband. I have not yet found documentation of her maiden name.

4855 LKH note:

Eli Gebhart's death certificate gives Bretheran Cemetery, Hagerstown, Indiana as location of burial. There is a church now known as Brick Church Cemetery that was formerly known as Creek Church of the Brethren Cemetery that has other members of a Gebhart family buried there including Lewis Gebhart who's dates match as possibly his father. Also his mother Nancy (Rinhart) Gebhart's death certificate gives her place of burial as the German Baptist Cemetery, Hagerstown which is yet another name for this same cemetery.
 
Gebhart, Eli (I3631)
 
4856 LKH note:

Find a Grave for the father has included a summary of his will. Three sons and four daughters are named.

Our Elizabeth is not named.
He died in 1776. Our Elizabeth's first child was born in 1778, so potentially she could have still been part of her parent's household in 1776.
 
Hood, Elizabeth (I4483)
 
4857 LKH note:

Marriage record of Mary Mitchel [Mary McKay] to Marshall Seely in 1899 gives the names of parents are Wm. McKay and Margaret McKay.

Civil War Pension index shows record of Marshall Seely (Co.B, 120 Ind. Inf) filing for invalid pension on 14 June 1882 and Mary Stucky filing as widow on 17 Sept 1926.

 
McCay, Mary Elizabeth (I2069)

About Rice Milner and Sarah Oder.

Rice Milner is named as Eliza Ann Milner's father on her marriage record.

I have no documentation for their birth dates, but several family trees on Ancestry agree on those dates.

The same group of family trees agree that Eliza's mother was Sarah Oder. The same trees list three children for Rice and Sarah, but do not include Eliza.

I have found documentation to confirm Rice and Sarah are the parents of Lucinda, but have not found any documentation to link James or William to them.

The three children listed on many Ancestry family trees.
1. James Milton Milender, b.1816
m. 8 Nov 1844 to Cynthia Ann Hoskins in Vermilion Co., IL

2. Lucinda Milender
b. Sep 1818
d.24 Dec 1904
m. 10 May 1837 Richard Fletcher in Marion Co., IN

3. William Bradford Milender
b.1 Aug 1833
d. 15 Feb 1909, Indianapolis, Marion Co., IN
m. 14 May 1848 to Charlotte Coffin in Marion Co, IN
