That is a good one, Cousin Jim. I checked the 1820-1830-1840 census and
found no Neece's other than John and Hulda. It's possible that this
Elizabeth is a younger sister or an aunt to John (or even
sister-in-law), who came to Lincoln County after the 1820 census, but
that would have been eight years after John and Hulda arrived, at which
time Elizabeth would have been 3 years old. The Marsh family in Lincoln
county is well documented, so perhaps some Marshes will have a clue.

By the way, what book is "WFT?" Do you know how you came to add
Elizabeth to your data base? Where did you originally get it? Is the
birth date an estimate based on average age at marriage, or is there
some other basis for it? I don't have it in my database at all.
