Elizabeth Featherstone Gaines Mauldin was born to Rev. Robert Gaines and Frances Featherstone Gaines in 1810. She was married to Tyre B. Mauldin and the mother to five children: Mary Susannah, William Patton, James Andrew, Francis Elizabeth, and Joseph Henry, who died in infancy.
Mrs. Jasper Doyle recalled her visits as a young girl to the Mauldin home, “About thirty yards west of the house, and almost on a level with it, was a spring of cool, crystal water, leading to which was a broad, white sandy walk, always kept neatly swept…We could see ‘Uncle Mauldin’, then an old man, tall but erect as a man of 25, busying himself about the mill; we could see ‘Aunt Mauldin’ with her plump rosy cheeks wreathed in smiles and dimples extending to us a hand of hearty welcome.”
Following the death of her husband in 1876, she and her daughter Susan moved to Anderson, SC to live with her daughter Francis Elizabeth Mauldin Carpenter. Tragically, her daughters preceded her in death; Susan in 1881 and Francis in 1883, both from tuberculosis. She remained in Anderson until her death in 1893. Her grave in Neal's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery is adjacent to those of her daughters and marked by a rough stone with no lettering.
