Elizabeth's mother, Sarah Jane Hawkins, was all of fifteen years old when she married John Sevier. Elizabeth was one of two of John's daughters who also married at fifteen. What would you have me do? Rewrite history? Please forgive my contentiousness, but this is at least two profiles cited for inconsistencies, due to age. I grow weary. We don't all mature at the same rate. Some of us were biologically 'ready' at an age that would curl your hair. People, particularly women, didn't live as long back then. As it was Elizabeth died at age twenty-two. Her father and stepmother went on to raise her four children.
