Elizabeth S. (Neel) Lancaster
1811-1881 |
Elizabeth S. (Neel) Lancaster is my 5th great grandmother. She was born 22 Mar 1911
[1] in Kentucky to James Neel and Polly Martin. She married Ellis Wilson Lancaster on 10 Jun 1831 in Shelby County, Kentucky. Ellis and Elizabeth had 8 children. The family moved to Kaufman County, Texas sometime between 1850 and 1860. There is not a lot to know about Elizabeth except through her probate record. Ellis had died sometime in 1866 and she died Jul 30, 1881. The total of the estate was $344.82.
[2] Each heir received either $49.26 or a portion thereof (some of her children had died and the grandchildren were to receive a shared portion).
Elizabeth is buried in Rockwall Memorial Cemetery
[3]. Here is the link to the
Find-a-Grave page for her tombstone.
