Buried in the garden of her old homestead, located on east side Georgia Hwy 90, 1.2 miles south of Pine Level Cemetery. (Watch for two standing cross ties acting as a break in the fencing).
Supposedely buried next to granddaughter and great grandchild, or possibly niece and great-niece, however no other graves are now visible.
According to all censuses, Elizabeth, as well as her parents, were born in South Carolina. Elizabeth, on May 8th in the year of 1798. Legend has it she may have been part Indian. She appears to have come to Georgia sometime after 1836 and prior to 1847, since one of her sons, John, was born in South Carolina in 1836 and one of her daughters, Martha, according to BYU archives, was wed to Perry Watson in Taylor County, Georgia, circa 1847.
The first mention of Elizabeth, that I have been able to find, is in the 1850 census, which shows her as living in Fort Perry district, which is located in north eastern Marion County. Georgia, a few miles west of her gravesite. Her age at that time was unreadable, but possibly 60, and living with her at that time were, her children William Hart, 19, Nancy Hart, 16, John Hart, 14, and Cebetha Hart, a female of 22 years of age and, at this time, an unknown relationship. Relationships of the individuals were not given in this census. All those listed were said to have been born in South Carolina. It is my belief that Cebetha was not an offspring of Elizabeth and was most probably a niece.
According to a report by the Department of Archives and History, Atlanta, in the year 1864, Elizabeth was listed in the "salt list", a list of "Families Supplied With Salt", as living in Taylor Co, and having a husband or son being in service between 1862 and 1864. This was probably her sons, Calvin or John, or both, who served in the Civil War.
The next mention of Elizabeth is found in the 1870 census, still in Ft. Perry. Here she is listed as being aged 72 and a housekeeper. At that time, she was living with a Forlista Hart, 32, and Theodosia, 11. All three having been born in South Carolina. It is my conjecture which must be proven, that Forlista, the spelling of which is in question, may have been the wife of Elizabeth's son John who was killed in the Civil War, Theodosia therefore, may have been their daughter and Elizabeth's granddaughter. Other sources have indicated to me that Theodosia moved back to South Carolina and married a Levie Givens and is buried in Mount Calvary Baptist Church Cemetery in Blackville, Barnwell County, South Carolina. See her memorial at www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=59381893.
Elizabeth died in 1875. Listed on the headstone is that she was born May 8, 1798, and died Oct 16, 1875.
