Description	:	The above birth date is a combination of the YOB inscribed on Elizabeth's gravestone and her 1900 census birth date (December 1841). The date was 15 December 1842 when her memorial was transferred to cowfordlady, with her birthplace as Cedar Co., Nebraska, but that place didn't agree with Elizabeth's censuses, and that date had no source.

Read More	The above birth date is a combination of the YOB inscribed on Elizabeth's gravestone and her 1900 census birth date (December 1841). The date was 15 December 1842 when her memorial was transferred to cowfordlady, with her birthplace as Cedar Co., Nebraska, but that place didn't agree with Elizabeth's censuses, and that date had no source. Her parents are unknown, but it's been proved that she was NOT the daughter of Jeptha Rush and Susannah Stonebraker. She appeared to be an orphan in the 1850 and 1860 censuses, as she was living with the family of Thomas R. Barker (a prominent citizen of Jasper and Newton counties in Indiana). It's possible that she was related to Thomas's wife -- he married Mary Jane Myers in 1841 in Fountain Co., Indiana, so it might not be just a coincidence that Owen T. Rush married Frances Ann Myers in the same county in 1839. However, it's likely that only DNA can prove who was Elizabeth's father, because family trees claim that Owen's wife died in January 1840 in childbirth when their son William was born, and that he remarried in Illinois or Missouri, then moved to Texas and died there in 1889. Elizabeth married Henry Mallatt in Newton Co., Indiana in 1861, and to their union were born five known children: Anna Marie, William H, James R., Jennie L., and Francis "Frank". The three oldest were under age 7 when Henry and Elizabeth decided to move to Cedar Co., Nebraska in 1868, an arduous trek of 580+ miles, even without young children!! Oxen pulled their covered wagon(s), and they traveled with newlyweds John and Josephine (Matson) Barker -- John was a son of the above Thomas and Mary Barker. They were joined in Iowa by the William Sullivan family (he and wife Catherine were born in Ireland; son James was born in Wisconsin circa 1868). It took 10 weeks for the Mallatt and Barker families to reach their destination, and the three families settled on land near each other -- in the 1870 census, Henry's household was next to John's. Elizabeth was about age 32 when Henry died in 1875 (he was age 35-36). She remained his widow for over 40 years, and raised their four youngest children by herself, no doubt with help from kind-hearted neighbors. John Barker died in 1874, leaving behind Josephine and their two young sons (she remarried in 1876). Elizabeth is noted in publications as one of the pioneer settlers of Cedar Co. A few years before her death, she sold to son William the 160 acres of farm land near the Waucapona school that she had lived on for 50+ years, and lived in Cedar Co, with son James for the rest of her life.
