Information on a compilation by Robert Fletcher states Elizabeth was born about 1788. The compilation by Beverly Aytes-Bowhall says Elizabeth was born April 14, 1794.1 
Marriage*6 May 1819 She married David Hite (or Hight) on 6 May 1819 at Fairfield Co., Ohio, Todd Reeves' web site states Elizabeth and David were married May 1, 1819 in Loudon Co., VA. Karen Feisel's perusal of Fairfield Co. marriage records revealed a marriage date of May 6, 1819. Perhaps the LICENSE was purchased on May 1, 1819. The original record was cited to be in Fairfield Co. Probate Court Marriage Book 1803-1835, Section B.1

Death*13 October 1853 She died on 13 October 1853 at Wyandotte Co., Ohio, at age 57.1 
Burial* She was buried at Masedonia Cemetery, Antrim Twnshp, Wyandotte Co., Ohio, Info on Ancestry.com, supplied by DeLong researchers such as John Baldwin, Carla Nash and Todd Reeves states that Elizabeth was buried in the Macedonia Cemetery, Wyandot Co., OH. Karen Feisel has checked cemetery listings for Wyandot Co., OH and found that Elizabeth and her husband David Hite are in fact buried at the Masedonia Cemetery (note spelling) in Antrim Twp. The cemetery listing shows that Elizabeth died Oct. 13, 1853 at age 57 years 6 months 21 days. Karen also has a photo of the cemetery, taken from the internet.
     In addition, the census records are revealing. In the 1830 federal census for Grand Prairie Island Twp., Marion Co., OH, Elizabeth "Hite" was listed as head of household, with one male age 10 but under 14 (this would be son Stephen), two females under age five (these would be Cecelia and Elizabeth), two females age five but under 10 (these would be Anna and Magdalena), and one female age 30 but under 40 (this would be Elizabeth the mother). This township is immediately south of Antrim Twp., Wyandot Co., OH where Elizabeth is buried. The 1840 federal census for Grand Prairie Twp., Marion Co., OH, shows Elizabeth "Hyett" as head of household, with no males in the home, but two females age 10 but under 15 (this would be Cecelia and Elizabeth), two females age 15 but under 20 (this would be Anna and Magdalena).1
