Biography

Elizabeth was born in 1843. She was the daughter of John Surratt and Mary Jenkins.

After her mothers death, Anna Surratt moved from the townhouse on H Street and lived with friends for a few years, ostracized from society. She married William Tonry, a government clerk. They lived in poverty for a while after he was dismissed from his job, but in time he became a professor of chemistry in Baltimore and the couple became somewhat wealthy. The strain of her mother's death left Anna mentally unbalanced, and she suffered from periods of extreme fear that bordered on insanity. She died in 1904. Isaac and Anna were buried on either side of their mother in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
