Daughter of John and Mary Bertram. Elisabeth was born on the "Island of Jersey" according to the death certificate of her daughter Mary E. Sparhawk Whall.
There is some question about the spelling of her first name. The grave stones at St. Mary's spell it "Elisabeth" but various vital records spell it as "Elizabeth." This memorial employs "Elisabeth" since it is the spelling on the grave stone of her daughter, Anna Maria, who pre-deceased Elisabeth and Elisabeth presumably approved the spelling on the marker.
Elisabeth Bertram married Elisha D. Sparhawk in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts on August 31, 1823.
Cause of death: "Cancer of Breast 1 month" according to the Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts Vital Record of her death.
