A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Eliza Smith Herring
Gleanings of Virginia History and some other sources (which might have taken their information from there) say she was born in 1800. Hardesty's Encyclopedia says she was born on 17 Sep 1796 (see the notes for nephew George Chrisman). Find A Grave (listing for Eliza S Herring) says she was born in 1790. There is a picture of her gravestone, but I can't read it. A birth year of 1790 is not reasonable since her mother would only have been about 13 then and Eliza wasn't even her first child. I am going with the date from Hardesty. Hardesty gives her first name as Elizabeth, by the way.
According to the Parks manuscript, most of the family died in a cholera epidemic in 1832 or ’33. Find A Grave (listing for Eliza S Herring) says she died on 20 Jul 1830.
Gleanings of Virginia History says that she died unmarried.
