Elizabeth may or may not have had a former spouse, but my guess is she did and that she either married very young the first time or is fibbing about her age now (as widows are very much inclined to do).

The two teen-agers may be Elizabeth's children from a former marriage, which may also mean Elizabeth is lying about her age.  Listed next to David MOREHART
