Family Tree History & Research

Our Scottish 3rd Great Grandmother
Yesterday was the birthday of our 3rd Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Campbell Moyes Smith....
She would have been 184 years old.
Elizabeth was the 1st Scottish ancestor that I discovered while researching our mother's family tree.
Her history is documented fairly well thanks to a biography of Wisconsin families that I came across while doing research on this line.
Elizabeth immigrated to America from the British Isles with her family when she was only 7 years old!
Elizabeth was born in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland on July 20, 1834
Her parents (our 4th Great Grandparents) were John Moyes and Elizabeth Rogers Moyes.
She was one of six children.
One of her other siblings, Margeret, was born on the same day as she was, thus she was a Twin.
She married Edward Young Smith on December 2, 1853, in Brookfield, Wisconsin. They had nine children during their marriage. She died on February 22, 1923, at the age of 88.
