Elizabeth HERBERT

1785 - 1864  (78 years)

• Name	Elizabeth HERBERT
  Birth	12 Dec 1785	Virginia   [1, 2]
  	The 1785 birth year noted for Elizabeth on the W.V.H. Williams family monument and supported [more or less] by the 1850 and 1860 censuses suggests that she is not the daughter of Peter and Margaret Sparrow Herbert. Peter & Margaret were born in 1769 and 1767, respectively, and were married in 1792.
  Gender	Female
  birth2 (conflicting)	1795  [3]
  	The Cedar Grove Cemetery burial register notes that Elizabeth was 69 years old at the time of her death in 1864, suggesting a birth year of 1795. The inclusion of Elizabeth's inscription on the Williams family monument and her continuing residence with Elizabeth G. Luke Herbert suggest that she was the daughter of Peter Herbert.
  Death	4 Jul 1864  [1]
  Burial	Portsmouth City, VA   [4]
  	Her body was interred in the W.V.H. Williams family plot at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Portsmouth, Virginia.
