Birth4 May 1809 Elizabeth Robinson was born on 4 May 1809 in Virginia.2 
  In Oct. 1821 Elizabeth's father purchased a tract of land on the north side of the Holston River in Washington County. The land had originally been surveyed for the Ebbing Spring church and encircled the graveyard where lie buried may of the earliest settlers of the county. When Mitchell Robinson wrote his will in 1847 he left the bulk of this land to Elizabeth's sister Jane who had remained single. Elizabeth received $1 and her son Mitchell received $4.3,1 
Marriage She married (?) Lloyd. 
Land-Sell27 May 1876 On 27 May 1876 Elizabeth sold her interest in the land left to her sister Jane in their father's will. Jane died without heirs or a will in which case the land reverted to her siblings. Elizabeth was noted to be residing in Mercer County, Illinois, when she executed the deed.4 

Research Comment:

I have not been able to locate Elizabeth on any census record on which she would be identified by name (1850, 1860, etc.). She apparently resided in Mercer Co., Illinois in the mid 1870s. Please contact me if you have located her or can provide additional information.
