Notes for Elizabeth Edgerton:
The Edgerton family immigrated to Canada from Ireland. All of them died of Cholera en route except for Elizabeth. She didn't remember her parents' names or the names of her brothers or sisters. She though she had been about ten years old at the time of their emigration. Sailing vessels took a long time on the Atlantic voyage, and disease killed many en route. George Hymers near Oddessa, Ontario, Canada, raised Elizabeth. He was the father of Alexander Hymers who married Catherine Laughlin.
