Elizabeth Murphy

(Abt 1813 - )




Elizabeth may have been here in 1860:
By 1860, Todd Co KY, Elizabeth Poindexter age 16 [who must surely be Marinda "B" from 1850] and Lawson Poindexter, age 10, were living with Wells Fowler, a silversmith who was age 70 and E. Fowler, age 48 [probably Elizabeth Murphy Poindexter]. Elizabeth & Lawson were both listed as born "TN" as was E. Fowler - they were simply dittoed from her place of birth.

By 1870, Elizabeth Murphy was again going by the name of Elizabeth Poindexter.
1870, Todd Co KY, Trenton Precinct:
Elizabeth Poindexter, age 58, b. TN. Maranda "B" age 26, b. KY, Richard H [? name hard to read] age 4, and William L. age 20.
My note: I would think the 4-year-old belongs to Maranda - her mother is too old and he was listed following her name - only the head of household had a surname written.
