Daughter of Colville Abercrombie, Sr. (1762-1838) and Mary Lindley (1764-1850).

Elizabeth married Holloway CAMPBELL (1794-1872) about 1817 in Laurens County, South Carolina.

About 1832 this family moved to Henry County, Georgia, following the lead of her siblings, with extended members of the ABERCROMBIE Family, that included CAMPBELL, NASH, SIMS and BABB families.

Eight children, but five to adulthood:

1.) infant son Campbell (1819-1819) who died at birth;

2.) Miles Holloway Campbell (1821-1888) who married his maternal-first-cousin-once-removed, Elizabeth Ruth Graden (1835-1919);

3.) Catherine Christina "Christie" Campbell (1824-1895) who never married;

4.) Elizabeth Ruth "Rutha" Campbell (1828-1910) who married her maternal-first-cousin, Nathaniel Nesbitt "Nathan" NASH (1825-1901);

5.) infant daughter Campbell (1830-1830) who died at birth;

6.) Nancy Ann Campbell (1834-1898) who married widower, Bartholomew James "B. J." WEEMS;

7.) infant daughter Campbell (1837-1837) who died at birth; and

8.) Joseph George Campbell (1849-1927) who married his maternal-first-cousin-once-removed, Amanda Leola "Mandy" Avery (1848-1922).

Elizabeth's sisters Hannah Harriett (Abercrombie) NASH (1786-1840)(marked only by field stones, next to her husband)(Memorial# 89671093); Rebecca Ann (Abercrombie) BABB (1790-1876)(Memorial# 110885613); and brother Colville Abercrombie, Jr. (1793-1838)(Memorial# 31563291) are buried at the Babb Community Cemetery.

It is confirmed that Elizabeth and her husband Holloway are buried in their family cemetery here, but due to unidentifiable markers, the correct one is not known. This memorial page is dedicated in her honor until the true location is found.
