NOTE: The George Byrd identified as her father is a conflated profile of a person who does not exist. See George Byrd for the most likely candidate as to parentage.
Elizabeth was born in 1777.[1] She is the daughter of George Byrd and Annie Hutson. [2]
Some sources have mother's full name as Margaret Ann Hutson, also spelled Hudson in some sources.
Elizabeth's children and some other information for her is on husband Archibald's profile. I have one source that has her death date as 4 April 1844, and Dolly Parton is the 5th great granddaughter of Elizabeth. [3]
