        Nowlin-Stone Genealogy says she died in 30.June.1835 in Marshall Co TN, which is incorrect. She was part of a Court Case adjudicated in December 1839 ["Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of Tennessee"; West Hughes Humphreys; pages 66-740]
        "The Devin Family" says Elizabeth is the daughter of Edward and Mary Wade Nowlin of Virginia; page 37. However, on page 2, a quote from the will of Bryan Ward Nowlin says Elizabeth is his daughter.
