History:

For several years prior to 1869, Elizabeth Beswick owned a tract of land in Washington County, Kentucky, on which she resided with her two sons, George and Philip, and daughter, Phoebe. Her two sons, at the outbreak of the Civil War, went into the Confederate Army. Her neighbors were loyal to the Federal side and because of the prejudice then existing in her neighborhood, she removed to Mercer County near her brother, Isaac Smick. At the close of the war, her son, George, returned to find the home dismantled and the mother banished; his brother, Philip, had been captured and died in prison.
