Based on the age of her oldest child, Miles and Elizabeth were likely married 1840/41.

Research Notes
According to Giles/Franklin, Elizabeth was the daughter of Susanna Lamoreux and David Pringle, who married in 1783. Elizabeth was born in 1820, which is close to 40 years after that marriage.[4] There appears to be a missing generation. A David Pringle, age 56, appears in the 1850 census with Elizabeth (age 30). Assuming that this David is Elizabeth's father, it is more likely that he was a son of David and Susanna Lamoreux Pringle.
