She was born Elizabeth Blue, Blew or Bilyeu and was married to Hiram Bush about 1838.

Obituary: "Death of Mrs. Hiram Bush. Elizabeth, wife of Mr. Hiram Bush, of No. 126 Catharine street, died last evening. She had been sick for about five months, but grew rapidly worse yesterday. Mrs. Bush, whose maiden name was Blue, was born near Bound Brook on the 6th day of October, 1817. She was of a large family of brothers and sisters, of whom three brothers and a sister survive. Twelve years ago she removed to Elizabeth, and since then a son and daughter have died. The latter was the wife of Mr. Peter J. Demarest. Mrs. Bush leaves two daughters. On removing here she united by certificate with St. James' M. E. Church, and attended services there so long as health and strength permitted. She was quite a sufferer, and awaited her last hours with Christian fortitude and patience. Her husband is employed in a wholesale house in Newark. After funeral services on Monday afternoon, the remains will be conveyed to Bound Brook. [Elizabeth Daily Journal, Friday, July 25, 1884.]
