Elizabeth was born the daughter of George and Martha Wooden McNaught in Ireland about 1787. After the death of her father in about 1789, the family immigrated to America with members of her mother's family, the Wooden's. For a time they lived in Pennsylvania near extended family members of the McNaught's. They then moved to Kentucky, near Louisville, before moving across the state line into Clark County, IN.

It was there she met and married Joseph Bartholomew on July 30, 1811. Joseph was widowed and had a large young family from his previous marriage to Christiana Pickenpaugh Bartholomew.

Elizabeth and Joseph added ten more children to the family before her death in 1824, the result of injuries having "fallen from her horse" (information from online Wikipedia.com search Joseph Bartholomew).

The children from this marriage include:

GEORGE MCNAUGHT 1812-1885
NANCY 1814-1899
JOSEPH M 1815-
ANGELIA 1816-1900
LUCINDA 1817-1820
MINERVA 1818-
JAMES CURRIE 1819-1895
WILLIAM MILTON 1821-1903
ISAAC 1822-26
PERMELIA 1823-23

The Bartholomew family farm cemetery is now known as the McCormick Cemetery. At last...Finally, in a letter from John A. H. Owens of Charlestown written in March 1905, makes reference to visiting the old Bartholomew Family Cemetery. He said it was located on the General's property within a small grove of trees. There Joseph's second wife, Elizabeth McNaught, was buried next to his first wife, Christiana Pickenpaugh. Christiana died about 1810, probably from complications relating to childbirth, and Elizabeth, from complications following a broken leg sustained in a fall from a horse while riding between Springville and Charlestown in 1824. According to the letter, "there is a woodland of primitive growth near the center of which is an ancient burying ground enclosed by a stone wall and iron gate, now falling to decay. The old Bartholomew homestead is now the home of John F. McCulloch." There is also reason to believe that three of the General's sons and two of his daughters are also buried there.

Several sources refer to Bartholomew's homestead as being located on the Pleasant Run tributary of Silver Creek.
