Birth* circa 1790 North Carolina, USA, Birth date is estimated based on Georgia and Alabama census information. To believe this birth date you have to accept that Elizabeth's age is understated by a year or two in later censuses. Location seems solid based on census data.1,5,6 
Marr Bond* 24 December 1805 Daniel Murphy; Duplin County, North Carolina, USA, It's only a guess that this marriage bond is for the 1850 Dale County Alabama Elizabeth and Daniel. However, no other North Carolina marriage bonds have been uncovered in the right time frame that match. It's very possible that this is an incorrect association.

Birth* circa 1877 Alabama, USA1 
(Witness) Census 3 June 1880 John N. Murphy, AL Henry Co Census 1880; ED#84, Beat#9, Census pg 5, hh#15, Abbeville, Henry County, Alabama, USA, "J. N. Murphy", head, male age 47, farm laborer, born in Alabama, both parents born in Georgia;
"Martha Murphy", wife age 40, housekeeper, born in Alabama, both parents born in Georgia;
"Lenora Murphy", daughter age 15, born in Alabama, both parents born in Georgia;
"Quincy Murphy", son age 11, born in Alabama, father born in Alabama, mother born in Georgia;
"Lula Murphy", daughter age 3, born in Alabama, father born in Alabama, mother born in Georgia.

The census taker apparently got months employed wrong, he listed almost everyone on this and immediately adjacent pages as unemployed 12 months out of year. On a later page he struck out a page full of 12 month entries, leaving no entries.

The census taker appears to have got some of the birth places wrong, need to check another census to confirm.1
