Research Notes

• There is a Betsy DeLong living in New York in 1870^[7] but if she died in Iowa - what was she doing in New York, not with family?

• Birth date - per Find a Grave - Elizabeth's death date is not verified. It has been passed around by family genealogists - but there is no documented proof to support the date.
