.....Elizabeth Rose Banks married James Sims Doggett on August 20th, 1838 in Benton, Washington County, Arkansas. Her parents were Thomas Baxter Banks (1784- 1852) and Susannah Jarvis Banks (1788 - 1852). They had five children: Richard Vardaman Doggett (1839-1911), Leona Peralee Doggett (1841-1893) , William Jordon Doggett (1843-1905), Harvey McHendry Doggett (1846-1856) , and Susannah Cassander Doggett (1848-1864).
.....The death certificate of Elizabeth Doggett states that she died in the Santa Rosa County Hospital of Paralysis, (probably due to a stroke) and the remains were shipped to the town of Cordelia for internment. The name of the cemetery was not mentioned, but since her husband was buried in the Rockville Cemetery, it is assumed that this is where she would have been buried. Apparently the records of this internment were lost in a fire, ??? according to other researchers. My father, who did extensive research on my mother's Coats family, mentioned in several notes and letters of correspondence to other relatives that she was buried in the Rockville Cemetery.......NOW there seems to be some dispute about where she is buried....i have removed her from the cemetery where her husband is buried. her death certificate states that her body was shipped to the town of Cordelia. Also, as stated above, my father who did extensive research found her buried at the rocville cemetery.... so, this will remain a mystery for the time being. My own opinion, since she was not well liked by other members of her family, I doubt that they would have paid to have her interned elsewhere, and that my father's records may be correct. ( I know that there are some cemeteries, such as the Jewish Cemetery in Virginia City, Nevada have been able locate some graves using sophisticated ground scans and did indeed find one grave and one missing person that was unknown to any other records of the time. So, the mystery remains.....note from another researcher:
"I talked with Tere at Rockville Cemetery office. This person is NOT buried here at Rockville Cemetery. She doesn't show them at Suisun/Fairfield cemetery either".
....So, for the moment, i have removed her from the Rockville Cemetery.....maybe someday we will have a scan of the grave of Elizabeth's husband and find out if there is a second body there with him !!!..........
Elizabeth Rose Banks Doggett letter of 1892
Danville, California October 6, 1892.
My Dear Children: It has been some time since I got a letter from you, but I thought I would write to you today. Mrs. Williams is going to move off and I will not have any body to write for me. Ellen is married and gone and Adaline can’t see to write. Leoney and May were here to see me last Saturday. They said that they got a letter from Ella the evening before they came that stated Cecil was very sick and there was no hopes of his getting well. What is the matter with him? Ella didn’t say.
Leoney is better than she has been. I am pretty near bare-footed, I have not bought any shoes since I left there. They are all wore out although I haven’t walked any. I am not very well. It is all I can do to walk in and out of the house. I have no use of my right hand, hardly at all. I want you to send me a pair of shoes. I guess you had better send gaiters, these are too cold. Send no. 7 double E.
Adaline’s family is well, but Adaline is not well. She has had so much hard work to do. If I had any other home, I would not stay on her. If I get sick I will telegraph for you and if I die, I want you to come and bury me if you are not sick, but if you are, you can hire someone to come and bury me.
Grandma is well at times. She is well today. Write to me and tell me how Cecil is and come and see me when ever you can.
You mother, Elizabeth Doggett.
