THE CASEBIERS: ELIZABETH(5) 1782-1860
Born in Hampshire, now Hardy Co., Virginia (now WV), Elizabeth was the oldest daughter and fourth child of Jonathan and Chloe Atchison Chenoweth. She came as a teenager with her parents to Kentucky where, at the age of 21, she married David Casebier, son of William Casebier and Catherine Crissey, originally from Pennsylvania. Several years later her sister, Delilah, would marry David's brother, Frederick. Though nothing is known of the family of Delilah and Frederick, the 10 children of David and Elizabeth form a very large family of descendants. David and Elizabeth liven in Muhlenberg County until at least 1813, when they sold 268 acres on Pond Creek. As the family grew, they moved to Indiana, then Iowa and Illinois. David died in Iowa at the age of 63, Elizabeth outlived him by 19 years dying in Kansas at the age of 78. Their family would spread out to Texas, the West Coast, and even Canada.
