Biography
Elizabeth Sevier Clark[1][2] was born on 20 July 1787[3] in Pickens County, South Carolina, United States[4]. She is the daughter of Major William Henderson Clark[5][6][7] and Elizabeth Hawkins Sevier[8][9][10].
Elizabeth Sevier Clark was the granddaughter of John Sevier Sr. (1745-1815), the first Governor of Tennessee, and his first wife, Sarah Jane (Hawkins) Sevier (1746-aft.1780)[11].
Elizabeth married John Elston (1775-1853)[12].
Elizabeth Sevier Clark Elston died on 11 November 1845.[13] She was buried in the Elston Family Cemetery in Oxford, Calhoun County, Alabama, United States.[14] While the cemetery in which Elizabeth is buried is in present-day Calhoun County, Alabama, at the time that she died and was buried, that area was Benton County; Alabama and Calhoun County had yet to be formed.
