Elizabeth was born about 1834. She is the daughter of Moses Mathews and Elizabeth Foster.
In 1870 she is listed as living with her sister Mary and brother-in-law George Robert Callis, along with her son George.[1] This is after her first husband died, and probably how she met her second spouse, Richard Callis.
