She and George Kelley were married by Moses Crume, a Methodist Clergyman.

From a story by Hazel Reid Gennett: "Great-Grandmother Kelley whom they say was as broad as she was long, had been bed-ridden for eight or nine years, never having walked during that time (why, no one seems to know). She was of course, a terrible care to her family and Great-grandfather was a loss as to how to carry her to Sullivan County. He finally packed all the bedding on top of some furniture in one wagon and then placed Great-grandmother on a large feather bed on top. All went well until they came to a bad road with a chuck-hole in it. The wagon wheel slid into the hole, upsetting Great-grandmother into the ditch. She was so indignant and upset, and out of sorts that she glared at Great-grandfather, then picked herself up and went stomping off down the road on two perfectly good sound legs."

Elizabeth received a War of 1812 pension dated Feb. 27th, 1872 at $8 a month. Elizabeth Kelley marked an "X" to sign her application. She listed her residence in 1871 as P.O. Sullivan. She also signed the 1833 deed with a "+."

She married George Kelley (89) (A108).
