DOB from cemetery record, no marker, no death info. It is more likely she died abt 1868 as there was a daughter age 2 in home of widower husband in 1870 census.

BIOGRAPHY IN PROGRESS:
Biological maiden name was reportedly Greenup
Dau of Samuel G Greenup and Martha Curnutt, who married Aug 113 835, Cole Co MO. Raised with surname Curnutt (story below)

Wife of William "Jackson" Farmer

DOD may be bet 1868 and 1870 census as she is not with William or their children in 1870.

-Joseph B. 1862/Miller Co MO.-1938 bur Calhoun Cem m: Mary Ann Eakens
-James Montgomery 1863/MO.-
-George Calvin 1865/Boone Co MO.-1938 bur Calhoun Cem., m: Mary Frances Little
Note: Many records show Elizabeth as mother of Sarah Levina, born 1868. For that to be true, either the death year for Elizabeth, or the birth year for Sarah, would have to be wrong.

George was born Sept 27 1865, if the death year for Elizabeth is correct, she may have died from complications with his birth.

1850 Cole MO: CURNUTT John/62, Martha/38, Sarah/18, Elizabeth/15, Washington/14, Mary/10, Noah/7, Sarah/6. Next door is CURNUTT George/23 and family, possibly son of John.

No death record found. Placed here with other Farmers in order to submit photo request, tho it seems unlikely she is here.

ALERT: There are two William Andrew Jackson Farmer individuals, one born abt 1825, the other 1843 (who lived his life in Cole Co MO). While it seems Elizabeth was the wife of WAJ born 1825, all family trees found show her as 1st wife of WAJ born 1843. Research ongoing. If Wm AJ Farmer/1825, it appears she is the second wife, and stepmother to Martha Margaret, Mary Elizabeth and Nancy Isabella. It should be noted that WmAJ/1943 indicated he was in his 1st marriage (to Caroline) in 1910 census

Both Elizabeth and WAJ/1843 are found in Cole Co in 1850 census with respective parent(s), Elizabeth is 15, Wm is 7. WAJ/1825 not found but may have been in Cole Co as his daughter, Martha was born there in 1852.

Elizabeth's mother, Martha, murdered Elizabeth's stepfather (Noah Casto Sr), reportedly an abusive husband, in 1843, and was jailed. Martha's life was covered in an episode of the TV show "Who Do You Think You Are". The Actress, Cynthia Nixon, was featured in this episode. (Note, Cynthia was a descendant of Elizabeth's sister, Mary).
No record has been found as to the father of Elizabeth and siblings Sarah, Washington and Mary, who were raised as Curnutt, their mother's maiden name. It is not known where Elizabeth abt 7 yrs and siblings lived when their mother went to jail. They were with her by the 1850 census, in home of their widower maternal grandfather. The memorial for Martha, linked here, has more details.
