Lizzy was probably born in MO. She should have been enumerated on the 1850 census (census day was June 1, 1850), but since the census taker went by at the end of August, 2 months after her death, she wasn't mentioned, nor was she enumerated on the 1850 Mortality Schedules.
In a letter, from her father, William H. Bedford, to his brother Alex (2nd page only exists; undated):
"I must close by telling you you have one of the the prettiest, smartest and most interesting relations here you ever saw. It is your niece Lizzy."
Her death announcement from "The Adventure," St. Joseph, MO, June 28, 1850, p. 3:
BEDFORD--In this town, on the 27th inst., Elizabeth, infant daughter of William H. and Mary E. Bedford, aged 15 months. (Thank you Randy Brown for the obituary).
She is most likely buried at Mount Mora before it became an official cemetery in 1851. This is speculation, of course.
