Eli Whitney's stepmother was Elizabeth Fay. After the death of Whitney's mother, Mary Whitney, when he was a child, his father remarried Elizabeth Fay, who played a role in Eli's upbringing. Elizabeth supported Whitney's education and encouraged his interest in inventing, which ultimately led to his development of the cotton gin.
