She was mentioned in her father, James Booker's will^[3] "I give and bequeath unto my dearly beloved Daughter Betsey Womack one negro girl by the name of Gracy." Her husband is also mentioned by name. "I give unto Richard Huckabee, Buck Lanair, Barnaby Thomas, Young Jones, Rorie Wommack and Thomas Rollins Ten Dollars Each." See The Will of James Booker for the complete text and transcribed probates.

Slaves

After her husband's death, Elizabeth continued to maintain their farm and was listed as the owner of slaves on the 1850^[4] and 1860^[5] United States Census (Slave Schedule). In 1850, they're listed as a 50 year old woman, a 20 year old man and a 5 year old boy. In 1860, they're listed as a 50 year old woman, a 26 year old man and a 15 year old boy. In all likelihood, these are the same people with poorly recorded dates of birth.
