Note

"Elizabeth Short, the daughter of William Short and wife Eliazab
eth, was borncirca 1767 in North Carolina. She married Eli Mul
lins in Pike County,Kentucky on 3 October 1824. Elizabeth was o
ver twenty one and did not need parental permission for her marr
iage. This rules out the mis information that she was the daugh
ter of William's second wife Polly Birchfield. The exact deat
hdate of her mother is not known, but it is known that Willia
m married a second time between 1805-1810. The age on her marri
age record indicated that shewas too old to be a child of the s
econd marriage. Hopefully, this put thiscontroversy to rest al
so. (One thing for certain, people from West Virginiahave comm
on sense and can do simple arithmetic!)
