I have found an entry in my notes for Elizabeth Borders Cantrell which
reads as follows
"Death: Have undocumented note saying there is more info on her in letter
from the Historical Society of Randolph Co. IN, by Tucker 61 years old
buried in Steubenville Cemetery."
Following is the information I currently have on her. Would anyone have
access to that information who would be willing to check and see if there is
additional information to what I have?
BIRTH: Headstone reads "Elizabeth, wife of Zebulon, died July 2 1872, Aged
61 years. (read by Murray Cantrall)
2/5/2000 email from William Steve Borders - Texborders(a)aol.com - said he had
just published book "The Borders Families" wanted info. on
Elizabeth. He felt she was probably a member of either George J. Borders
1763 of PA & Rebecca Fred 176"X" or Jacob Borders 1764 PA and wife unknown.
Wanted marriages of Matilda and Hanna Borders.
1844, July 24 Rebecca Borders and Zebulon Cantrall, along with his wife
Elizabeth, sell 80 acres of Greene Co, OH land to Peter Borders. (This
according to Murray Cantrell--he also stated "I did not find a record of
Zebulon and Elizabeth's purchase of this land so I assume it is the land she
received in the will." Murray Cantrell's notes pg. 9 in his letter to Peggy
Schaefer Also stated "Many years ago my father wrote me a note to tell me he
had visited on e of his cousins and that cousin had a paper which said
Elizabeth had some Greene Co. OH land willed to her on July 5, 1830."
