Elizabeth migrated with her family from Essex Co., Vermont to Otsego Co., New York, to Tompkins Co., New York, to Bradford Co., Pennsylvania, where husband John died, circa 1841.
Elizabeth resided on her Bradford County farm through the early 1850s. Tax rolls indicate her property included 70 acres of land, 2 oxen, and 1 cow, valued at $197.
Elizabeth removed to Steuben Co., New York before the 1860 census where she was enumerated in the household of her granddaughter, Lucia BERRY Dey, at Caton.
Elizabeth removed to Ionia Co., Michigan before the 1870 census, where she is enumerated in the household of her daughter, Esther BERRY Russell.
Elizabeth died aged 97 years. Just imagine her life...hundreds of miles traveling through the frontier wilderness, establishing several homesteads, raising her 12 children and supporting her husband, throughout. Truly, an admirable achievement. She had some very interesting stories to tell, no doubt, and her audience would have listened with eyes wide open.
