I do not have the 1850 census record for Elizabeth. Try the Pike County census at one place the family was mentioned as living in Pike County. If this is the right Elizabeth maybe some of these names and families will help in your search. Please let me know if this might be right Elizabeth. Will help in any way I can. Betty
