Elizabeth was the first wife of Benjamin Franklin Lear (1809-1898).
Her father was George Stair (originally Stoehr) (1777-1849) and there is some question as to who her mother was. If Elizabeth (Starner) Stair's birthdate of 1790 is accurate, she would have been only 15 or 16 when Elizabeth (Stair) Lear was born, so it may be that Elizabeth (Stair) Lear's mother was an unknown previous wife.

Inscription
ELIZA.
Wife of
BENJ. LEAR.
Died Jan. 11, 1868.
Aged 60 years & 15 d.
How many were the silent prayers
My Mother offered up for me,
How many were the bitter cares,
She felt when none but God could see
Well she is gone and now in heaven,
She sings his praise who died for her,
And to her hand a harp is given
And she's a heavenly worshipper.
O let me think of all she said
And all the kind advice she gave:
And let me do it now she's dead,
And sleeping in her lowly grave.
