Elizabeth was the daughter of Capt. William Amy and Lydia Rosebrook.

Before 1848 she married Franklin H. Keyes, son of John Keyes and Lucia Hubbard. (She was still Elizabeth Amy when she handled her father's probate after he died in May 1845; then they had an infant daughter who died at birth in Jan 1849).

Their children were an unnamed infant daughter, Caroline F, and Annie F.

In 1850 they were living in Maidstone, VT with Lydia Amy (Elizabeth's mother), Lucia Keyes (Frank's mother), and daughter Caroline. They can't be found in 1860, but Elizabeth's mother died in 1855 and by 1863 they were living in Watertown, MA when Frank registered for the Civil War draft. They lived in Watertown until their deaths.

Elizabeth was predeceased by her father in May 1845; her mother in Jan 1855; an infant daughter in Jan 1849; and daughter Caroline in Jun 1850 at 11 weeks old.

Age: 69yrs 10mos 11dys

Cause of Death: Pneumonia

Note:
In 1880 Annie F. was living with them, listed as daughter, born about 1867 in Nova Scotia (father born in NH, mother in VT). But she wasn't with them in the 1870 census and I haven't found her after that yet. Was the census wrong or was she possibly adopted?
