Elizabeth was the daughter of James W. (Wesley?) Langley and Judith Mattox Langley, of Union/Ouachita Co., Arkansas; granddaughter of Elisha Langley and Jane Shepherd. She married 1. John Graham on Nov. 12, 1840 Union Co., Ark. Their children were William, Bolen and Lucinda, who died as infants and were buried in Plymouth, Van Buren Co., Iowa, Jasper Newton Graham (b 1847 Iowa d in Ark.) and John Wesley Graham ( b 1851 Ark. d in LA).
After John's death, she and Jasper lived with her Uncle Samuel Langley in Van Buren Co. IA. Elizabeth married 2. Robinson Malcolm "Bob" Willett on March 12, 1852 in Union Co. Their children were Samantha Rebecca Willett, William Henry Willett, James Robert Willett, Benjamin Franklin Willett, Jesse Willett, Elbert Anders Willett and Leon "Lee" Willett.
Elizabeth was found dead one morning by her son, John Wesley Graham, on a knoll under a big tree. She became ill while walking through a trail from his home to hers the day before. Elizabeth layed down and met her Maker. A man got word to her husband, Bob, a fine man, who was on the Grand Jury in Arcadia, LA. The man rode along beside him on horseback but Bob wanted to go too fast and it would have killed the horse. The man had to hold him back. Bob thought she was at her son's home and her son thought she was at her home that night, which stormed. Elizabeth had hung her white apron and the ham her son's family had given her on tree limbs along the path to get the attention of her son, which he found on his way to work on the roads the next morning!
