  • Notes 
    • According to her son Eli, Elizabeth lived to be at least age 94 (when he wrote his book "Genealogy of a Part of the Wodell Family" p 67 -- Google Books).

      The death record at New Bedford names her as Elizabeth Wordell "Soule" and says she died of "old age" at age 94 y 9 mo.; her parents are identified as Nathaniel & Rebecca.

      In the Federal Census of 1870, "Elisabeth Wordell" is age 83, living and "keeping house" in Fall River, MA. She is with her son Eli, age 65, a farmer.
