Elizabeth and Elijah moved to Tuscarawas Township, Stark County, Ohio in 1811. They were one of the pioneer families of that area. They owned two properties, each containing 160 acres, one in Tuscarawas Township and the other in Canton Township, both in Stark County, Ohio.
Elizabeth was faced with the difficult job of raising five children alone in a frontier after her husband passed away in 1813, after the move to Ohio. As per page 810 of History of stark County, Ohio: The family were kept together by the mother who did as well by them as her slender means afforded. Her husband was a man possessing abilities above the average of men of his time--not only a man of education and refinement but an excellent financier.
