Notes

One reference mentions Elizabeth as "Widow Rembert" and says she went to Mississippi in 1776.

Elizabeth moved to Mississippi after Joseph’s death. Elizabeth’s will is in Bundle 101, package 16.

I think that this Elizabeth is the daughter of Sherwood James, who is listed as her brother. Look at Sherwood and you see a daughter named Elizabeth who is married to Joseph Singleton. jkh
