Biography

Elisabetta Terranova is born around 1800 in Corleone, the daughter of Marco Terranova and Natalia di Giglia.

Elisabetta marries Vincenzo Grizzaffi, a farmer,on 14 August 1836. Her mother has died by this time.^[1]

Elisabetta and Vincenzo have at least six children together: Antonino (1838), two sons named Marco (1840 and 1842), Paola (1843), Salvatrice (1847), and Giuseppe (1852).

Antonino is born 23 March 1838 in his parents' home in via della Grazia, Corleone. According to the midwife, Francesca Paola De Luca, age 34, who lives in via S. Rosalia at this time, Elisabetta is 38 (b. 1800) and Vincenzo is 30 (b. 1808).

The first son named Marco is born and baptized on 25 June 1840, named after his maternal grandfather, as is traditional for the second born son. His godparents are Giuseppe and Biagia Grizzaffi, a married couple. He dies on 8 October 1841 at fifteen months of age.

The second son named Marco is born and baptized 22 February 1842, also named after his maternal grandfather. His godparents are Silvestre Colletto and Giuseppa, son and mother. He dies on 27 June, at three months of age.

When Paola is born 8 May 1843, her parents' home is in via della Favaretta. The same midwife, now living in S. Pietro, reports that Elisabetta is 35 (b. 1808) and Vincenzo is 37 (b. 1806). Paola's godparents are Angelo Trumbatore and Vincenza Buccheri, a married couple.

Salvatrice is born 17 September 1847 and baptized the next day. Her godparents are Saverio Mistritta and Cosma Addamo, a married couple.

The Church's death record for Salvator Grizzaffi infant daughter matches Salvatrice (b. 1847), the child of Vincenzo Grizzaffi and Elisabetta Terranova. She dies on 15 June 1850 at two years and nine months of age.

Giuseppe is born and baptized on 31 January 1852. His godparents are Bernardo Raja and Lucia Sciortino, a married couple.

Vincenzo dies at age 48 (b. 1805) on 2 August 1853. Elisabetta survives him. She does not remarry.

Paola marries three times: first to Antonino Sciortino, on 12 May 1861. By this time her father has died. Paolo next marries Carmelo Lanza, then Bernardo Nieli.

Giuseppe marries Liboria Palmeri on 24 November 1878.

Death of Elisabetta

Elisabetta dies at age 80 (b. 1800) on 17 May 1880.^[2]

Antonino marries twice, first to Maria Raja, then to Maria Buccheri. He has at least one child from each marriage. Antonino dies 29 November 1889 at age 51. The Church record of his death, dated 2 December, calls his mother Elisabetta Ferrara.

Giuseppe appears before the Corleone family council in the case of his niece, Elisabetta Grizzaffi's petition to marry in November, 1890. He is 37 at the time (b. 1853).
