Elizabeth MAXWELL, was born in Maryland about 1757 and died in 1832 in Seneca Twp, Monroe County, Ohio. She married Randolph Death, Sr. (1752-1811) about 1777 and they were the proud parents of:
Sarah "Sally"/1778 (Mrs Elijah Stephen; 2) William Dement
William/1780 m. Susan Williams; 2) Eliza Huff
Nancy/1782 (Mrs John Brister)
Elizabeth/1784 (Mrs John Stephen)
Maxwell/24 May 1787 m. Tamar Hibbs
Randolph/22 Jul 1795 m. Elizabeth Baird
Elizabeth was an intelligent and well educated woman for her day. Her life was made up of unnumbered acts of kindness, deeds of charity, kind words and living counsels as written by William H. Dearth in his 1940 manuscript. He wrote " Golden treasures to the living are pleasant memories of those who have lived life full well, and in ripened years of advanced age have passed from the weak bonds of frail mortality and the scenes of their earthly labors to life immortal, and to the world of eternal blessedness . Such was the life and departure from earth of Elizabeth Death. She was quiet, gentle and patient, never neglecting a duty nor failing in an act of kindness, or lacking on any occasion in any courtesy of life."
In Maryland Colony where Elizabeth spent her childhood years were to be found many remains of both the Mound Builders and the Indians. Through the Death lands there was an Indian trail towards the west, while at the Bald Frier Rocks along the Deer Creek valley in Maryland an Indian tribe made their home.
After living in Fayette County, PA for over 30 years she migrated to Washington County, Ohio (now Monroe County, Ohio), joining her eldest son, William, and daughters, Nancy, Sarah and Elizabeth families. They settled in what is now Seneca Township, near the present village of Malaga about 1830 where she died in 1832.
On September 19, 1831 she wrote a letter to her children who remained in Pennsylvania saying that daughters Nancy Brister and Sally Dement had died. She asked that they come and take her back to Pennsylvania in a small wagon. Unfortunately she would die shortly after in 1832.
