ELIZABETH THOMAS was the daughter of Martin Thomas and Ursula Muller. Said a contemporary, at the time of her decease: "During her long and eventful life she was highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was an eye-witness of many interesting scenes, not only in frontier times, at a period when the red man was occasionally to be seen revisiting his old hunting grounds, but during the struggle for liberty-the war of the Revolution." She was indeed a remarkable woman, and. the incidents of her life were such as few persons have experienced. To her the writer of this record is indebted much, for she was to him more than a mother. She was faithful and loving to him in his orphanage, and her memory is respected and honored as few mothers could be. She was a devoted Christian, and her good deeds are the heritage of her descendants.
