Her name is spelled Elisabeth in VR and census. Her birthdate as Nov. 15, 1813 to James and Susanna Freeman is recorded as Elisabeth Atwood Freeman on Fiche 5, "Massachusetts Vital Records: Wellfleet 1763-1890" 10 volumes on 23 microfiches, by Jay Mack Holbrook (boxed set in Wellfleet Public Library). Her age on grave marker matches this birthdate. She is sometimes confused with Elizabeth Freeman b. Provincetown Jan. 13, 1809 to Prince and Tryphena Freeman.

Her Sept 30, 1832 marriage to Abraham Atwood is recorded on p. 586, of Fiche 16 of the same Wellfleet VR set. She is a descendant of Mayflower passenger Thomas Rogers.

The Freeman Genealogy, which is listed under North American Family Histories in Ancestry, has incorrectly listed Elizabeth Atwood Freeman as married to Noah Young on p. 263. However on p. 260 it correctly lists [FAG #134088344] Betsey Atwood [Freeman], "Nov. 9, 1813; m. Noah Young, Dec. 4, 1838." Colonial Families of the USA, originally published 1912 and reprinted 1966, 1995 also has the same error on p. 287 of Elizabeth being married to Noah Young.
