Biography
Elizabeth (Betty) Sisk was born 1775 in North Carolina, the daughter of Daniel Sisk and Rachel LNU. [1]
After the death of her father, her mother married Gabriel Loving. Elizabeth's stepfather Gabriel Loving was appointed by the Wilkes County, NC court as her guardian on 7-28-1784, along with her 3 minor siblings ; Gabriel, Nellie and Robert. See attached record. [1] [2]
Accompanied her brother Gabriel Sisk when he moved to Habersham County, Georgia.
Elizabeth died in 1844 in Habersham County, Georgia at the age of 69. She is buried in Amy's Creek Cemetery, Habersham County, Georgia, USA. "Court Records reference her as "Betty", a common nickname for Elizabeth. Year of death given as 1844." : [1]
Reported that Betty married A. P. Sisk, but this requires additional research. : [1]
Buried at Amy's Creek Cemetery, Habersham County, Georgia : [1]
Research
Need a Source for the maiden name of Ellender/Nelly (wife of John Clark mentioned in his estate papers).....
Elizabeth's brother Gabriel Sisk also married an Elizabeth who was nicknamed Betsey.... she died June 9, 1844, and is reported to also be buried in Amy's Creek Cemetery. It's likely the records for these two women have been confused.
Notes from Rootsweb tree to verify: John Clark Married: 8 Aug 1803 in Pendleton Co., SC This marriage date is from a statement Ellender made, after John died in estate settlement papers. Gilbert Clark also made a statement that he was there when they married. Still no mention of maiden name?

The book by Arthur J. Slaton, "The Slaton Family Ab Antiquitas", page 288, provides two entries regarding the children of Daniel Sisk.
The first entry was supplied by Wilmetta Burgess Seattle Washington (1965): "The children are named as Robert, Gabriel, Nellie and Emily Sisk. Many who have researched believe that Timothy and Andrew were also children of Daniel Sisk, but this merely supposition."
From Mrs. John Hall, Liberty, Missouri (1965) copied from DAR papers: Daniel Sisk's children 1. Robert Sisk, 2.Gabriel Sisk, 3. Emily Sisk, 4. Betty Sisk.
However, it appears that Wilmetta did not have access to the Court records, since she named the children incorrectly. Mrs. Hall shows 3 of the names listed in the original court order, but "Emily" is listed instead of "Nellie".
Also, note Don's records don't show specific sources, so refer to the actual court documents. Don was indeed passionate regarding his pursuit in documenting the Wilkey and associated families. At least he tried and he unfortunately was never able to incorporate the 100's of changes, with sources, which I sent him before his death. I did have a few phone conversations with him, regarding the family, prior to his death, and he indeed had some real stories to tell.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Update: Some claim John Clark married Elizabeth Sisk in 1803 in Pendleton S.C., this is where Elizabeth's brother Gabriel was living at the time and it's been said Ellizabeth followed her brother from North Carolina. Also, Gabriel's wife died in 1844 in Habersham Co, GA....and was also buried in Amy's Creek Cemetery.... so the death records for these two Elizabeth's might be confused.
