The names of Celia Elizabeth's parents are unknown because her family was killed by Indians during the Indian Wars in Florida. A unit of Georgia soldiers found the burned homestead. While they were buring the dead they heard a baby crying. They finally found the baby in a cradle with the name "Elizabeth" carved into the cradle hidden in a myrtle thicket. The soldiers took her with them. When back in Georgia the soldier Holder took her home and raised her. Later the Holder family moved to Alachua County, Florida.
