Note: This is a cenotaph; her actual burial location has not been determined.

Betsey was married to William Arnold about 1818, and appears with him and children on the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1875 censuses in North Kingstown, RI. She was widowed and living with her son, Henry G. Arnold in 1880. She was still living in 1884 when mentioned in the obituary of her sister-in-law, Betsey (Arnold) Mawney.

The Arnold Memorial, p 134, gives Elizabeth's death as 15 Jan 1880 at her son Joshua's in East Greenwich, aged above 90. Since she was alive in 1884, and died aged above 90, the death year was given erroneously, and likely should read 1890.
