One death record says she died 10 May 1885 but her great granddaughter Girtie says that she was alive when Girtie's son Nathan was born in 1921. Girtie mother told her that Elizabeth lived to 103 and still had all her teeth.
In the book History of Decatur County, Indiana, it states that "Elizabeth's father was William Robbins, a Revolutionary soldier, who served for several years in the Revolutionary army. He enlisted as a private in October 1777, under Capt. James Clark and re-enlisted on September 22, 1778. He enlisted once more in 1781, being at that time a resident of North Carolina." This information was given by John G. Guthrie, grandson of William Robbins.
