Journal Sister of William Douglas Hall (which sister unknown probably Sarah A)), "Leaves from a Woman's Private Journal," Between 1880 - 1894, p 10: "Miss Elisabeth Forth a descendent of Scottish parents. She was short, dark and very industrious. He was her third husband. "
"I was my grandmother's pet in that one visit when I was six years old. She had a son, William Douglas, by her first husband, but he went away young and was never heard of. She had also a son, James Bolkin, by her second husband; he lived to be old man after traveling the world over. My dear grandmother died of consumption in 1858, I think."
From History of Macoupin County Illinois, Hon. Charles A. Walker, Vol I, Chicago: SJ Clarke Publishing, 1911, Vol II, p 204: Elisabeth Fourth is of German descent.
