Perhaps the obits of the children would mention that detail if the death certificate doesn't. But then it all depends on the informants knowledge and that gets lost with the passing of time. By looking at *all* the records for all the children and every possible one that Elizabeth could be in you may come across the maiden name or a clue to it. How about those neighbors in the censuses? Anyone also born in PA? It is not unheard of to trace the neighbors as you would your own family in the theory that they came together from the same place and may be related or may even BE your family. It is another technique when up against the proverbial brick wall.
