A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Elizabeth Graves
My Southern Family has a couple of vesrions of this, but it says that Elizabeth moved to Green Co., KY, with her son, John, and his wife in 1810, when she was 90 years old.
Her gravestone says Elizabeth Sandidge, born Feb. 14, 1720, died Jan 6, 1826 (from York manuscript).
Elizabeth Sandidge's will, from the York manuscript:
