Biography

Elizabeth was probably born about 1750. The Bandy Families website gives her birth as ca. 1762 (which would make her mother Elizabeth Cardwell, not Mahala Cummins), but then lists her first child as being born in 1764. They note, "if we have her children correct, she was born earlier."^[1]

Richard Bandy's 1795 will lists a daughter Eliza, widow of Aquilla Greer.^[2]

Elizabeth married Samuel Arrington on December 27, 1800 in Franklin County. She died in Franklin County after 1808.^[3]
