Betsey was the third of nine known children born to Edward Crossett and Elizabeth Cady of Shutesbury, Mass. and Duxbury, Vermont.

She was married to Reuben Clark, and two marriage records have been found for them: one in Shelburne, Mass. on 8 April 1802 and the other in Shutesbury, Mass. on 18 April 1802.

There were many contemporary Reuben Clarks, making it difficult to determine which pertains to the husband of Betsey. He likely died at an early age.

One record that almost certainly pertains to Betsey is the 1870 census for Duxbury where she is 89 years old and living in the household of Edwin C. Crossett, 53, and Cornelia Crossett, 49. A Joseph Clark, born about 1808, whose tombstone is next to Betsey's, is likely a son of hers.
