Elizabeth M. Newell was likely born in Warren County, North Carolina. Her father Edward was enumerated there in 1810 and then moved the family to Colbert County, Alabama, where his son Edward Drumgoole Newell attended LaGrange College. The family then moved to Montgomery County, Tennessee. Elizabeth was identified in the Will of her uncle William Newell in 1844 in Montgomery County as Elizabeth Sweeny, formerly Elizabeth Newell, "now of Texas."
Elizabeth's first husband was William B. Sweeney and in 1834 they came to Texas, where her husband fought in the famous battle of San Jacinto. Three years later he was waylaid and killed in ambush by some person or persons unknown, and his murder was never avenged by man. They had two children, Thomas M. Sweeney, now deceased, and Mrs. Elnora Mitchell of Richmond. After the death of Mr. Sweeney the widow lived for some few years with his people and later met and married Joseph Anderson in Texas, to which state the father had come from Virginia as a young man in about 1840.
