Biography

Elizabeth Polston was born in Appalachia, in Kentucky.

Elizabeth was born about 1832. This is based on being 26 when she married 29 May 1858. Census records 1850 - 1880 have her estimated year ranging each year from 1831 through 1835. Her marriage record states she was born in Russell County, Kentucky. She died some time after the 1880 census was taken. Family lore says she was buried in Campground Cemetery, Hart County, Kentucky but there is no headstone.
