According to depositions located in the Papers of the Continental Congress, M247 roll 66 vol III pg [29?], Elizabeth was either 15 or 18 at the date of the deposition, 3/22/1777.It was hard to read the film at the very top where they had inserted her age.I will check that out again later, probably next week.
Her sister Sarah was, again hard to read, eight years old at the same time.
The deposition was in relation their being raped and kidnapped by British soldiers while at the house of Edmund Palmer the previous December.Palmer's daughter and I believe his niece were also victimized.
Once I have time, I will make copies, scan them and post at my site.
Best of wishes,
Billy Markland
