Daughter of Andrew Mehaffey, Esq. and Elizabeth H. McPherson of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
The slate table monument at Mount Auburn Cemetery lists a birth year of 1837 for Elizabeth Law Mehaffey; however, as her parents were married on 05 September 1837 she was undoubtedly born in 1838. I am accepting a birth year of 1838.
I believe that Elizabeth L. Mehaffey Howe was originally buried, in the same plot with Albion Parris Howe, at Forest Hills Cemetery, 95 Forest Hills Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts. They were both re-interred, at Mount Auburn Cemetery, on 12 November 1923.
Elizabeth Law Mehaffey married Albion Parris Howe on 17 February 1859 in New York City, New York, USA.
