Also known as Elizabeth Holbrook McKillip. Elizabeth was born around 1785 and died after 1870. She was the daughter of James and Barbara Fair Holbrook of North Carolina. Her father, James Holbrook, is a proven Revolutionary War Patriot recognized by the Sons of the American Revolution.

Hugh McKillip and Elizabeth Holbrook were married on August 13, 1803 in Stokes County, North Carolina.

Fred McCaleb (1916-2011), a descendant and McCaleb family historian, believed that Hugh White and Elizabeth Holbrook McKillip/McCaleb were most likely buried in unmarked graves in Whitehead Cemetery on the hill above the Berea Church of Christ in Fayette County, Alabama.

A history written about the Berea Church of Christ states the following: "A few yards from the present building [Berea Church of Christ], on a hilltop overlooking the Sipsey River, lies Hugh White and Elizabeth Holbrook McCaleb keeping watch on their beloved Berea."

Children:
1. Virginia Jane/Jane M. McCaleb, m. Robert Logan
NOTE: Marriage record from 1822 clearly states name as Jane M. McCaleb.
2. John A. McCaleb, m. Mary Ann Hackworth
NOTE: John A. McCaleb's grave marker and cemetery survey records have his last name spelled McCalab. Cemetery survey records indicate he lived 1798 ? 1886 with a question mark. Grave marker indicates he lived 1798 - 1880. It is believed, and census records indicate, that he most likely lived 1805 - 1886.
3. Lavinia McCaleb
NOTE: A Lavinia McCaid married David Gibson on November 14, 1822 in Morgan County, Alabama. David R. Gibson shows up in US census reports in Lawrence County, Alabama. In the 1850 and 1860 US census reports he is married to Eliza born in 1807. She could possibly be and evidence supports that she might be Eliza McCord, not Lavinia McCaleb. Records show David Gibson only married once.
