Elizabeth 'Betsy' Finch is presumed to have been born in Warren County, Ga. Her parents are William Finch and Nancy Myrick Finch. She married David P Dove on Aug 21, 1803 in Warren County, Ga. David was 31 years old and Elizabeth was about 17 years old.

Warren County marriage records suggest that she had at least two sisters. Celia Finch married Ephraim Ivy on Feb 9, 1801 and Patsy Finch married Thomas Hale on June 25, 1806. Betsy and her sister Patsy are mentioned in John Middleton Myrick's will dated May 12, 1803, which was their maternal grandfather.

Elizabeth and David migrated further east to Abbeville County, SC around 1810 and eventually settled in the Belton Area of Anderson County, SC that is now referred to as Saylors' Crossroads.

Elizabeth and David had fifteen children and they raised them in South Carolina. After Elizabeth and David died, most of their children moved to Madison County, Ga before the Civil War around 1845. Elizabeth is the Mother of most "Doves" living in Northeast GA and Western SC, in essence our "Eve".

Elizabeth and David are believed to be buried in Anderson, SC in Mount Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery. Above birth and death dates are approximate.
