F, b. 20 January 1774, d. 18 June 1820
- Relationship
- 3rd great-grandaunt of John Kennedy BROWN Jr.
Elizabeth BURT, daughter of Joseph BURT and Elizabeth (?), was born on 20 January 1774 in Halifax County, North Carolina.1,2,3
Her father died in August 1788 in Halifax County, North Carolina, when Elizabeth was 14. Elizabeth would have been about 14 years old.
Elizabeth BURT was named an heir in the will of Joseph BURT dated 20 June 1788 in Halifax County, North Carolina. "I give and bequeath to my beloved Daughter Elizabeth Burt one negro girl named Hannah to be delivered to her when she comes to the age of Eighteen Years old or sooner if she marries, and also one sorrel mare..."4,5,6
She was probably one of the 3 females listed in the household of her mother, Elizabeth (?), in the 1790 Federal Census of Halifax County, North Carolina.7
Elizabeth married Stephen MARSHALL, son of David MARSHALL and Mary Hodge DAVIS, circa 1793 in Halifax County, North Carolina.
She was probably one of the 2 females over age 45 listed in the household of her husband, Stephen MARSHALL, in the 1810 Federal Census of Warren County, Georgia.
Elizabeth BURT witnessed the sale of land from her mother, Elizabeth BURT, to Thomas A. COLEMAN on 1 May 1812 in Halifax County, North Carolina. This sale of the land inherited from her husband, Joseph Burt, involved all of their childen excepting Joseph, Jr. and Stephen, who was deceased.8 The residence of Elizabeth Burt was not given in the above deed, but was probably in either Warren or Putnam County, Georgia, where many of her children had moved. An Elizabeth Burt of Warren County was listed in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery registration, receiving a prize on the second draw. The 1820 Putnam County census enumeration of James Burt's household included a female over 45 years of age; perhaps this was Elizabeth living with her son and his family.
Elizabeth BURT died on 18 June 1820 in Putnam County, Georgia, at age 46. She died on complications from child birth only three days after only three of giving birth to her youngest child.9
Elizabeth's obituary was printed on 27 June 1820 in the Georgia Journal newspaper, published in Milledgeville, Georgia. The article read: "Sympathy and obligation induce this brief and humble notice of the death, on the 18th Inst. of Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall, late wife of Captain Stephen Marshall, of Putnam County... She left a husband and ten children, the youngest of which is only eight days old."10
She was probably the female over age 45 listed in the household of her husband, Stephen MARSHALL, in the 1820 Federal Census of Warrenton, Warren County, North Carolina.
She was probably the female age 50 to 60 listed in the household of her husband, Stephen MARSHALL, in the 1830 Federal Census of Capt. Humphrey Drury's District, Putnam County, Georgia.
