Abt 1846 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Mary Louisia Elliott  [1, 2]
  Born	Abt 1846	Clarke County, Mississippi   [1, 2]
  Gender	Female
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Middle name also shown as Lavicia. Pat Welch (patwelch63@hotmail.com) thinks that it is possible Lavina/Lavisa Elliott married William Collins, and can be found with her husband and children in the census enumerations she transcribed below. Based on the names, naming patterns, and geographic locations, this seems likely. However, the main stumbling block to this theory is that if this is the same Lavisa Elliott, then as of the 1850 Clarke County, Mississippi census, Lavina/Lavisa is enumerated in two households, both as a four year old living with her parents, and as a 19 year old newlywed listed with William Collins, both listings in Clarke County. Perhaps there were errors on either or both census listings, or the Lavisa Elliott that married William Collins was an older sibling or cousin of this Lavina Elliott. Other researchers instead show she married Stephen Thomas Gilbert, and that they had a large family.
