Elizabeth had a brother , William Matthews, who was a Presbyterian preacher and wed his sister Elizabteth to Adam Poe. Place of birth also listed as "Northwest Coast, Irleand". Elizabeth's first husband, William Cochran, died on the Ohio River while she was pregnant. This would have been 1774-75. This child was Rebecca, who eventually married John Hook. Her maiden name is also listed as Mathew. Some say birth year is 1756. Elizabeth came to America when she was 12 years old.
