Life

Elizabeth Paulina Sewell was born in Georgia on 30 May 1842, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 The federal census of 1850 listed Elizabeth P. Sewell in the household of Marian Sewell, which the tree places in Madison County, Georgia, and that of 1860 listed an "Elizabeth J Sewell" in the household of Marion Sewell in Coweta County.2 On 1 March 1866 she married Alban William Willingham, a son of Alban W. Willingham and Bedia Herring, in a Georgia record indexed under the name "Albon Wellingham".3 In 1870 she was recorded as Elizabeth P. Willingham in her husband's household in Polk County, Georgia.4 An 1870 census entry for an Elizabeth Sewell, still in Marion Sewell's household, is also attached to her profile and gives the tree a second residence for that year.5 Inference Since she was married and living in Polk County by 1870, that entry is more likely another member of the Sewell family than a second enumeration of her; its age and place would decide it.5 The tree names seven children born between 1867 and 1878.6 Widowed in June 1878, she was recorded as E. P. Willingham at Youngs, Polk County, in 1880.7 In 1900 the census listed "Lizzie Willingham" in the household of Oscar F. Casey in Militia District 1223, Youngs, a militia district being one of the divisions of a Georgia county used for elections and the census, and in 1910 she was in the household of her son Early E. Willingham at Youngs.8 She died in Polk County on 17 January 1928, as her Georgia death record shows, and is buried in the Lime Branch Cemetery there, according to the tree and a Find a Grave memorial to Elizabeth Paulina Sewell Willingham.9 The death records of her sons Ollie (1925) and Ira (1941) and the Social Security file of her daughter Irene name her as Elizabeth Sewell.10
