Eliza's middle name Holt is her mother's mother's family name.
Eliza's first husband Samuel Butts was a Captain in General Floyd's army and was killed in battle with the Creek Indians in 1814. Butts County, Georgia was named after him.

The defunct site http://www.hauntedhouses.com/states/al/house2.htm said that the Lucas Tavern in the historic district was haunted by Eliza. But why would a tavernkeeper who died in 1843 appear dressed as a Victorian schoolteacher?

Louisville Messenger (Winston County, MIssissippi) 2 Sept 1843 Page 3
"Died: In this village on Saturday morning, the 26th ult. Mrs. Eliza H., consort of Walter B. Lucas, formerly of Alabama. We learn that the deceased had long suffered under the afflicting hand of disease, previous to her visit to our town, whither she had been brought some few weeks previous to her death by her disconsolate husband, in the hope from our healthy climate, of her being restored to health. But alas! her disease had gone too far. All efforts restorative proved unavailing and she bid adieu to earth, and has gone to that undiscovered country, from whence no traveler has yet returned."

   The Lucas Family
   
   The family is na? doubly of English descent. Washington Irving in his “Sketch
   Book” mentions two mural tablets in Westminster Abbey, viz:-- 1 to Charles Lucas & the
   other to Margaret Lucas! The abbey was at one time the burying place of English kings
   & it has become a national honor to be interred within its walls! Charles & Margaret
   Lucas to have merited & obtained mural tablet in Westminster, must have been persons of
   moment. The family although English have not been able to trace their ancestry or
   kinship to the said Charles & Margaret. Nor do they claim to be able to trace kinship to
   St. Lucas of Antioch the author of the Gospel according to St. Luke & of the Acts but
   they would deem it a higher honor to be like the beloved physician in character than to
   count their ancestry from kings.
   
   The first known in this country of that branch of the Lucas family with which is a
   connection is that there were 3 brothers of that name who came over from England,
   named respectively, William(?), John & Jonathan. William(?) settled in Ohio. The
   Robert Lucas, a descendant of Wm Penn (1781-1853) & who was governor of Ohio was
   born at Shepherdstown, Va & moved to Ohio in 1800. It is not known whether he is a
   relative of the family or not. John Lucas settled in Va and Jonathan Lucas settled in SC.
   
   The Lucas family of SC is numerous, wealthy & rank high socially. They belong
   to the Episcopal Church. The Pinckneys of SC trace their ancestry through one Eliza
   Lucas. She was a distinguished woman, being the first to introduce indigo into the state
   of SC. She probably introduced the silk worms there too. She had the silk spun from
   cocoons & woven into a dress which she wore at the Court of St. James, to which
   government her husband Thomas Pinckney was sent as a minister. This dress has been
   on exhibition at various expositions. A book has recently been published by relatives in
   Charleston, SC containing the facts as to the life & character of Eliza Lucas. [probably
   Eliza Pinckney, by Mrs. St. Julien Ravenel, 1896. Eliza Lucas was born 1722, in
   Antigua, West Indies. While still in her teens, she managed her father's three plantations
   in South Carolina when he was called to military duty in Antigua in 1739.]
   
   The foregoing information as to the names of the founders of the family in this
   country & their places of settlement was obtained by Miss Frances S. Davies from Walter
   B. Lucas, Sr., who was a son of William (?) Lucas of Ga & who married his first cousin
   Mrs. Eliza Butts, the grandmother of Miss Davies.
   
   Our branch of the "Lucas" family is descended from the before mentioned Jno
   Lucas of Virginia.
   
   There were 3 descendants of said Jno Lucas (not known whether more or not),
   who resided in Georgia, viz:—Henry Lucas, William (?) Lucas & John Lucas.
   
   The said Henry Lucas was a wealthy planter at Mt Meigs, Ala near Montgomery,
   having emigrated to that state from the state of Ga. He married a lady from Montgomery
   whose name is not known to the family. He died without children.
   
   The said William (?) Lucas lived probably near Milledgeville, Ga. He had five
   sons & one daughter, viz:--
   (1) Walter B. Lucas who married Mrs. Eliza Lucas Butts, his cousin; the only child of
   this union who attained maturity being Walter B. Lucas, the husband of Mrs. Eliza
   Parke Lucas of Macon, Miss. He, the said Walter B. Lucas Sr. lived in Ga &
   probably moved with his wife to what was then the site of what is now known as the
   city of Montgomery. When several settlers met together to name the infant city, he
   suggested the name Montgomery after Genl. Montgomery of Revolutionary War fame which was
   adopted on his suggestion.
   (2) Beverly Lucas, (unmarried), who was waylaid, robbed & killed by Indians for his
   money.
   (3) Wm Lucas, who married and was the father of 3 children, viz:-- Troup?, Jno and
   Mary (Bonnert?). Mary was a beautiful & accomplished lady. ????? said of her that
   she was the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen except one viz:-- a countess
   whom he saw when he was in Europe on the mission of trying to obtain recognition
   of the Confederacy.
   (4) James Lucas
   (5) Jno Lucas
   (6) Rebecca (?) Lucas
   
   The remaining descendant of said Jno Lucas of Virginia was named Jno Lucas.
   
   It is known that the last mentioned Jno Lucas emigrated from Virginia with his wife
   Mary Simmons Lucas, together with their oldest daughter Maria Lucas (who
   afterwards married one Lee and after his death one Dyer), to Sparta, Hancock Co.,
   Ga. where he died & was buried. His widow Mary Lucas moved to Mt Meigs, Ala
   where other members of the family were living.
   
   The children of said Jno Lucas & his wife Mary are viz:--
   1. Maria (Lee) (Dyer)
   2. Eliza Holt (Butts) (Lucas)
   3. Louisa (Stovall), Augusta, Ga
   4. Caroline (Shelman) (Fuller?)
   5. Martha (Shelman)
   6. Catherine (King)
   7. Mary (Chambers) (Andrews)
   8. Rebecca Lucas (Died single)
   9. Wm Lucas, who had two children viz:-- Alfred Lucas & Ernestine? Lucas
   
   Eliza Holt Lucas (above) 1st married Samuel Butts on Nov 7th 1807 by whom she had
   following children, viz:--
   1. Jno Butts, who married ??? ????, who had 1 child (a daughter) now living in Atlanta
   Ga., Miss.?, named Mary Johnnie H???? (now married but to whom is not known)
   living in L?????, Miss
   2. Hull Jones Decatur Bainbridge Lawrence Butts who died unmarried & is buried at
   Lauderdale Springs, Miss
   3. Frances Samuel Butts, who married Jno Davies on Apr.6/26 at Sparta, Ga. Note:--
   Butts Co., Ga is named for Samuel Butts. He commanded a company in Genl Floyd’s
   army in the war with the Creek Indians & was killed at the Calabee [creek] (near
   Montgomery).
   
   Eliza Holt Butts after the death of Samuel Butts married Walter B Lucas on July 20,
   1818 (see bottom of page 52) [?]
   
   The aforesaid Jno Lucas who emigrated from Virginia to Sparta, Ga was noted for
   his piety & hospitality. Bishop W. M. Wightmann said of him that his name
   throughout the state of Ga was as precious ointment found? faith? –that he was ??? &
   loved by all. One of the yearly Methodist Conferences, says Mrs. Maria Dyer
   Wightmann (widow of Bishop W. M. Wightmann), probably in 1806 or 1808 was held in
   his house in Sparta, Ga. “Old Doctor” Loviell? Pierce, father of Bishop Pierce & who
   lived to see his ????? & who was well known throughout the US as a leading minister,
   was ordained elder in his house at said Conference. Most if not all of the Conference was
   entertained by this Jno Lucas who was a wealthy man. He was a leading Mason, the
   Masonic lodge being held in ??? upper rooms over his store ??? Sparta, Ga.
