Lizzie was actually born and died in New Salem.
Parents:
Bowling Green (1786 - 1842)
Nancy Potter Green (1793 - 1867)
Lizzie was married to John Nathaniel Abell, the son of the Green's next door neighbors Bennett and Elizabeth Abell on December 2, 1845. Soon thereafter her new husband left for California leaving Lizzie with his parents. It's not clear why John Abell left for California. Gold wasn't discovered until January 24, 1848, after Lizzie's death. California was still a Republic when John left. Lizzie moved back in with her mother Nancy Potter Green(1793-1867)after a while.
After Lizzie's early death Nancy Green sued John Abell for the cost of Lizzie's burial among other things. John was still in California. She won a judgment of $318.00, a substantial sum at the time.
Lizzie Greene was probably buried in the same country cemetery where her parents and others like Ann Rutledge were originally buried then later moved to Oakland Cemetery. Her body either didn't get moved and she still lies in what became a cow pasture, or she was moved to Oakland Cemetery and her grave went unmarked. Since her new name was Abell not Green, her relationship to her parents may have been unclear.
