Elizabeth (Short) Van Hooser (1800 - bef. 1880)

Biography

Elizabeth was born around 1800. She married Isaac Van Hooser around 1820 and had at least 10 children with him.

She died after the 1870 census and before the 1880 census. Her husband is listed as a widower in the 1880 census. Elizabeth's findagrave profile shows a picture of her grandson's wife, not her. Her grandson was named Isaac, just like her husband, causing confusion. Her grandson was Isaac Sampson Van Hooser. Findagrave lists a death date in May of 1889, but does not state where it came from. This date is inconsistent with census records.
