James appeared in court in 1806 on charges that he had beat Elizabeth. She probably left him at this time because she does not appear in his household in the 1810 census

Did she go back to her family? Who were they? She must have taken any of their children with her, because no children under the age of 10 appear in James household in 1810.

Would really appreciate any information on Elizabeth and her Bertine family.

Thanks,
Kate
