"Elijah and Sarah (Maclin) Robertson were married presumably where he and her parents resided in the part of North Carolina which is now Tennessee. They all resided in the settlement on the Watauga River in present East Tennessee. He did not remove to the Cumberland River settlement, now Nashville, until 1783. Their daughter, Elizabeth, presumably their oldest child, was born 12 March 1783. It is assumed that they were married about 1782. They were probably married at the Watauga settlement. Records show that Sarah (Maclin) Robertson's father, William Maclin, was in Nashville in 1783."
