Wife of John Kneebone, mother of George, William, John born in England, Henry,Thomas, and James. Born in Galena, Ill. I recently had Elizabeth's photo dated by a fellow ancestry member, Betty Shubert/ Hollywood Costume designer/Author of "Out-of-Style", Elizabeth is wearing a bird-cage shaped hoop skirt of the 1850's (from 1853-1866 after which the hoops changed to a triangle shape), her hairstyle seems a personal attempt to adapt a fashionable hairstyle of 1856-1858. It is centered parted, drawn to the back, with a tiny coronet braid ending in drop-down curls. Still researching her life. Born from parents George Rowe and Elizabeth "Betsy" Roberts, George was a copper miner, he and Elizabeth had 7 children, all born in Camborne, John Roberts Rowe, Elizabeth (Rowe) Kneebone, George Rowe, James W. Rowe, Jane (Rowe) Gribble, Mary Ann (Rowe) Thomas, and William Rowe.
