Biography
Elizabeth has been something of a dead end. Clearly she existed and married Joseph Wesson, but no other information is available.
In the 1810 census, there is a record of Robert Nicholson living in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. This is quite near Brunswick, where Joseph Wesson lived. Perhaps this could have been Elizabeth's father.
