Biography
- Elizabeth was born in 1803. She was the daughter of William Shaw and Sarah Bozarth. She passed away before 1880.
- Elizabeth married Robert WHITFIELD/WHITFILL. He is a brother to the Martin B WHITFILL who married her sister, Rebecca SHAW.
Notes
- Discovered this missing daughter of William SHAW and Sarah BOZORTH 20 Mar 2018 through DNA research. I have three separate matches to Elizabeth's descendants. When I got to her son, Thomas Jefferson WHITFIELD, her name was found on his death certificate. This confirmed what the DNA was telling me.
