Elizabeth was born in 1815 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, daughter of John Orndorff and Elizabeth Peer. Eliza married Jesse Orndorff, son of Philip, in Allegany County, Maryland, in 1839 and in 1850 was living in Hardy County, just across the mountain from Shenandoah County. By 1860 they had moved to Green County, Ohio, and apparently moved on to Iowa shortly after that. Jesse died in Keokuk, Iowa, in 1865 and Eliza returned to Virginia with several of her younger children and married James W. Orndorff in Hardy County, in 1868. In 1870 they were living in Hampshire County, West Virginia, and by 1880 were back in Hardy. Eliza passed away in 1882.
