Life History

Notes

• The family name of people that seem to be Elizabeth's parents appearsin wills as Person.  Some genealogies spell the name Parsons.
  
  John T. Palmer had her place of death as Greenville, Granville, NorthCarolina.  This is not correct, since Greenville is in Pitt County.Thus it is not clear whether this person meant to say Greenville city(with Pitt County) or Granville County.  He has the death place forEliabeth's husband as Greenville County, South Carolina in 1790, andhers as possibly Granville County, North Carolina.,  Perhaps he meantGreenville, Greenville County, SOUTH Carolina for Elizabeth?
  
  Another source says Greenville County, South Carolina, like herhusband, so I am taking this option.  Since John had the town asGreenville, I am interpreting this to indicate that he meantGreenville, Greenville, South Carolina.
