One reason is Elizabeth's parents - Hetty & Philip - were married 12/7/1825, which would have made Elizabeth born before her parents were married. BUT I have not found Hetty & Philip's marriage on the Pendleton Co. marriage index. So.... My files show Philip's birth place as Paris, KY. Interested in any comments??? Beth
