"He was about the wealthiest man in Clark County in his day, and the litigation over his will is one of the causes celebre in the court records of Kentucky. Henry Clay, a short time before his death, made his last speech before a jury in this case. Joel Quisenberry's daughter Joyce married Hon. Harrison Thomson, who subsequently represented Clark county for several terms in both the Senate and the Lower House of the Kentucky Legislature. Joel Quisenberry had numerous other children, among whom were Roger, John, James and Thomas Jefferson, all now deceased. His grandsone, Dr. Silas Evans, is the superintendent of the High Oaks Sanitarium in Lexington, KY."

Elizabeth is buried in the Joel Quisenberry Graveyard, in Flanagan, Clark County, Kentucky.
