     Eliza Archange Ford was born circa 1791.
Eliza Archange Ford married Maj Edward Pinnock Wallen, son of Matthew Wallen and Sarah Pinnock?, on 3 September 1806 in Spanish Town, St Catherine parish, Jamaica. In St Catherine's parish churchA son, James Smith Wallen was born in 1807 when she was barely sixteen. After she produced a male heir he presumably left her alone for the next ten years as he had plentiful alternatives in his slave women as the birth dates of their mulatto and quadroon children suggest. Ten years later the boy would be less dependent on his mother and in EP Wallen's will in 1821 made in England says that the lad has for "sometime past" been "given up to the care and protection of my said brother (in-law) and sister" in Jamaica whose estate the boy was to inherit. It is possible therefore that he went to live with his aunt and uncle when he was ten or so when his parents considered leaving Jamaica.
EPW had three children by Eliza, two of them born in Jamaica, though his will of 15 January 1821 mentions only his son James Smith Wallen and his daughter Caroline, his wife then being pregnant with his youngest daughter, Elizabeth Mary Wallen (conceived of course when he had no slave women available) and born in Reading in mid-1821.
     Eliza died before 7 April 1835 in Exeter, Devon. Edward Crawford wrote: The widow and her two daughters lived in Exeter where she died in 1835 followed by Elizabeth Mary in 1837 who perished of consumption as a girl of sixteen. She left no will but the estate was put in Administration and that mentions the grandmother, Isabella Hill, (1772-1837), widow of Major Hill who was living with them, "lawful grandmother and lawfully assigned guardian" of the two girls. She in turn died of consumption in December 1837, while the boy had gone to Canada earlier in about 1834. For Caroline Wallen this loss of all her close relatives in two short years must have been dreadfully traumatic and may have done grave psychological damage.
