She married George Tombaugh, son of Jacob Tombaugh and (___) Redd.
The inscription on her headstone follows: "Died February the 9th day, A.D. 1832, aged 73 years, 11 months."
"She was small in size but of quick movements, and she had one quality needed in a pioneer's wife--courage. It is related that on one occasion wolves attacked their calves. George objected to taking the chance of chasing the wolves off, but Elizabeth supplied herself with burning torches and scared the wolves away, so they got neither calves nor Elizabeth." (Tombaugh Family History, Reno Tombaugh)
Go your way to the land of the Ancestors,
where they wait for you with open arms, there on the edge between this world and the next.
See; there they stand.
Ancestral spirits, welcome this one
to the place where we all must go.
