Biography

Born about 1780 Washington, North Carolina, USA. [aka Jefferson Tennessee, multiple names for same location]

Her birth date is an estimate based on her father's will and the comparable age of her siblings. Note that she is listed in between her sister Sarah and her sister Jane. I infer that her father's will names them in their birth order, placing Elizabeth after Sarah and before Jane.

Item I give unto my daughters Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth Jane, Margaret & Ruth the Sum of six cents each to be raised out of my Estate Item I will that all the rest of my property be sold by my Executors after my decease of the money equally divided amongst all my Daughters.

In addition, a birth year of 1780 is similar to her husband - and in consistent with a marriage age of appx (more or less) of at least 21 years old.


1860 United States Federal Census[1] Name: Regiah Seaton [Keziah Seaton] Age: 67 Birth Year: abt 1793 Gender: Female Birth Place: North Carolina Home in 1860: District 8, Franklin, Tennessee Post Office: Estill Springs Dwelling Number: 1226 Family Number: 1206 Cannot Read, Write: Y Household Members: Name Age

  • George Seaton 75
  • Regiah Seaton 67 [Elizabeth / Keziah]
note that the census gives a different birth date - which is inconsistent with her marriage in 1804. (she would have been 10 years old ). It is assumed that the census is in error and her birth year is closer to 1780 - 1783.

Conflicting birth information on this profile. I queried both Family Search and Ancestry but was not able to resolve the issue.

Thank you for pointing this out. I made some changes and added my rationale for my assumptions.
