Elizabeth is my 5th Great-Grandmother, I am through her 9th child and 4th daughter Eliza Pratt Bishop. She was born 26 July 1782 in Cheshire, New Hampshire, a year before the Revolutionary War was finished, which means if I can prove her father or grandfathers served in the war I can join the Daughters of the American Revolution. Elizabeth married Nehemiah Pratt Sr in 1801 in Ripley, Chautauqua, New York and they had 11 children with 3 dying young. Her children were born in Vermont, New York, and Pennsylvania and her daughter Eliza was married in 1841 in Laporte, Indiana. Elizabeth is in the 1860 Census living with her daughter Eliza's family in Fillmore, Utah and died on 23 January 1867 also in Fillmore, Utah. According to FamilySearch she was baptized in 1968, but when the family was in Indiana is when some of her children and their spouses joined the church, so sometime between 1840ish and 1860 Elizabeth would have been baptized and followed the rest of the Saints to the Utah Territory.
