Elizabeth Godwin was born to John Benjamin "Barnaby" Godwin and Wilkinora Wilkinson Godwin, in 1748 in Nansemond County Virginia (now known as Suffolk County). She married John Milner in 1765 in Nansemond County. They moved to Georgia, probaby from North Carolina. They had 9 children. Elizabeth lies in an unmarked grave in the Milner Cemetery near Milner Brook on what was their family farm received as land grant. I am descended from their son Pitt Milner. There is a very interesting family story recorded in a book entitled 'Those Southern Milners' by Virginia Hershey Sharpe you may want to find at a local library. It is out of print but I've seen it in several libraries.∼Married John Milner. She was born in Abingdon, Washington
