Elizabeth was born the daughter of Colonel Edward Barnwell and Mary Hutson Wigg. She married Jan 18, 1816, her cousin, Nathaniel Barnwell and had one child, Mary Wigg Barnwell. In 1823, she married Arthur Gordon Rose and had two children, Arthur Barnwell Rose and Amelia Laura Rose. She died in New York after a long illness.
"OBITUARY.---Died on the 15th inst. in New York, of Consumption, Mrs. ELIZABETH W. ROSE consort of Arthur G. Rose of this city. There is scarcely an instance where the decease of any person in private life, has diffused a greater sorrow, in a large circle of acquaintances, than in the case of this most amiable and beloved lady. In the circle of her general acquaintance, she was beloved and valued, but only those who have enjoyed the blessing of her intimacy and confidence can duly appreciate her excellence. How many poor and aged, young and helpless, have in this dispensation of providence, been deprived of a most generous and sympathizing friend, how many sick and bed ridden are fated now and forever more, to forego the blessings of her charity and christian exhortations; which she incubated, not only by theory, but by practice. If ever there was any upon this earth, who have been adjudged a resting place in Heaven, this lady must be ranked among them. Would to God, I were able to describe her virtues, as forcibly as I feel them worthy. Mothers would hold her up an example to their Children, Husband, to their Wives, and the Christian to the World. She has left a husband and three Children to mourn her irreparable loss, besides a large number of almost doating friends.
Death came cloth'd in garments celestial and bright,
And a smile that portrayed him an Angel of light,
Her soul did he summon, it quit its abode
And nestled and lay in the bosom of God. n."
