The Elizabeth (if her surname was Lewis) cannot be the same one who married Thomas Henderson. Those two were having children together in SC at least until 1790 when my ggg grandmother, Mary Henderson, was born. That convinces me that she is not the same one who married Bennett Henderson in 1771 after she married Thomas in 1767 in South Carolina. Thomas married her "out of unity" with his Quaker beliefs. Still he was allowed to remain in the group. I wonder if she might have died after Mary was born. In the 1800 census there is no woman of an age to be the mother in the family. There was one female of age 10-15 which could have been Mary..
