Bio

Elizabeth is said to be the daughter of George Larrison and Catherine Lambert Larrison of Estill County, Kentucky. They had migrated there from Mercer County, New Jersey by the early 1800's and continued to be found in Estill, which does not match the thought that Elizabeth was born in Madison County, Kentucky. What we do know is that Elizabeth Larrison married David Stewart on May 31, 1807 in Madison County, Kentucky. He was said to be the son of Ezekiel B Stewart and Rachael Larrison Stewart, also of Estill County, Kentucky. *Marriage Records for Madison County, Kentucky Volume VI In the 1830 Federal Census we find David and family still in Madison County, Kentucky, but by 1840 they have relocated to Jackson County, Missouri. Of their offspring that we have found that migrated with them to Missouri, were Edith Leanna (Caleb Kerr), Elizabeth Treble (Alonzo Boone), James Anderson (Rebecca Chrisman), Susan D (Thomas Strode), John Samuel (Elizabeth Levica Boone). I'm sure there were others that haven't been proven out yet, and all of the inlaws brought other relatives as well. Evidently the government had encouraged Daniel Boone and family to gather many families and make the trek west with them to create new settlements. These were the early settlers that we honor that first battled Natives in the area, and then their own kind, even family in the Civil War, to settle that part of the country. The family of Thomas and Lydia Taylor were another group that were involved with these families, my direct ancestors, in addition to my many connections with the Boones. By the 1850 Federal Census Elizabeth has passed away, and on February 7th David married second wife Susan Hensley in Jackson County, Missouri. Because there is an elder female alongside him in the 1840 Census in Jackson County, I have put her in the burial ground next to where they lived, that all of the other family members that died throughout that time were buried, and where David himself was buried. So we estimate her death between 1840-1850. *by Lila Cole
