She was born at San Salvador Plantation in Pendleton District, South Carolina, now site of Clemson University.
She attended Rev. Abiel Bolles' female academy in Charleston and there met his younger brother, Eber Bolles, who was a graduate of Brown University.
They married in Franklin Co., Georgia, 23 MAY 1816, and moved to Cahawba, Alabama. He was an attorney and represented Dallas County in the state legislature. After her husband's death, Mrs. Bolles moved to Mobile. She was a widow at 31 with three small children, but she was quite a wealthy woman and never remarried.
In 1855 she made a deed of gift to her daughter Mary of the vacant lot adjoining Mary's new home at 910 Government Street; the Roberts moved into the new house in October 1854. The gift lot was where the east wing was constructed in 1905; from 1855 until 1905, the family paid taxes on one house on two lots, but in 1905 two houses on two lots, and thereafter back to one house and two lots. The 1860 census shows Elizabeth Bolles in the Roberts household. The Bolles family history (1865) stated that she made her home with her daughter Elizabeth Bolles Douglas, 1005 Government Street. Evidently she alternated residing between the two. Thought to have died at 910, where funeral services were conducted.
Her two daughters died in Mobile, but her only son Charles Eber Bolles moved to Texas.
Thought to be buried either in Row 7, Lot 124 (Douglas plot) or Row 20, Lot 31 (Taylor plot).
