Notes for Eliza Conway SEVIER:
Texas Republican -- Marshall -- July 7, 1860
Died in Marshall, Texas, Mrs. Eliza C. McClellan at her son-in-law's, Mr.
C.E. Hynson, 26 June 1860. Deceased was born in Knoxville Co., TN, 15 Nov
1790. She was the youngest child of John Sevier who was the first
governor of her native state. She was the last member of her fathers
family.
For 31 years and 1 month she lived the widow of Major William McClellan.
At his death the care and responsability of raising and educating a young
and growing family devolved on her. She has left four daughters and one
son. They have been and still were the objects of her love and the
subjects of her constant prayers.
She suffered much for two years previous to her death, with inflammatory
rheumatism. Her affliction she bore with Christian fortitude and
patience. She frequently remarked "it's allright ... it was the work of
her heavenly father and if it was Gods will, that she should suffer it,
it was hers also." When lying on her bed, she would repeat many passages
of scripture. She died with these promises on her lips. They were in her
heart.
They should light over her brightest days, and illuminate her darkest.
She selected her funeral text: Job 19:25,26,27. She sleeps in Jesus,
sleeps to awake again. Amen. -- Knoxville and Nashville papers please
copy.

McClellan m: Richard Campbell Sevier Brown; Catherine Barbara McClellan
m: George C. Pickett; Martha Eliza McClellan m: John Gregg; Mary Jane
