the claim that she was Coleman/Kuhlman is absolute false. It turned
out that it was name of her daughter in law, Elizabeth, wife of
Philip Walker, b. 1766 in Hagerstown.

I have copy of that book. Entire book had been entered into this
12,000 plus database. Lot of blanks. Many with no dates or places.

And here's something more - at the reunion the question was asked
of anyone if anyone had found the true maiden name of Elizabeth
last June. Were you there? My friend sure did.

Add Coleman/Kuhlman to the list of surnames found not to be
Elizabeth's.
