Pension application dated 10 Sep 1897 gave her age as 74, or 1820.She received her last $8 pension check 4 Sep 1900 and paper in file gives death date as 20 Oct 1900. Robins' application also gives her maiden name as Betsy Amos.
Elizabeth was named as Elizabeth McCoy in her father's will. Mordecai Amos stated that she had already received her full share of his estate in money and made no further provision for her in his will.
Birth dates of children from the bible. Entries in the bible were made later, as the bible was published in 1873. Hard to read some numbers, so used most likely interpretation. Note that years for Joseph, Mordecai and Harriet were written in, crossed out and new numbers written in.
