I believe that Eliza Braiton is Margaret Elizabeth Brereton.  Her mother was convict Eliza Brinton.  I have found many spellings including Braiton, Brinton, Breaton, Brereton, Brierton.  Eliza Brinton married Patrick Prenty/Prunty/Printy and his name is a witness on the marriage of Margaret Elizabeth Brereton to James Ellis Howard.  They had three children, two survived.
