Biography

Isabella was the eldest child of William Elliott and Polly Major. She first married to William H. Culbertson and he was father to her children and a casualty of the Civil War.[1] Isabella again married to Richard Hightower in 1877.[2] She was listed as head of household, and a widow, in the 1880 census and Richard Hightower was residing in the household of his son-in-law and also listed as widowed.[3][4] Isabella passed away in 1903. She was last residing next to her brother William Sylvester Elliot in the Kenton County, Kentucky household of son William Culbertson in 1900. The birth date listed was October of 1822 but her grave stone indicated she was 82 years old in 1903.[5] The birth year 1821 is indicated by her age in previous census records, aligns with the August 1820 marriage of her parents, and their next born child in May of 1823.
