Kind(eren):
Elizabeth Apperson, 12th child of William and Elizabeth Kerr Apperson, was born on the Apperson plantation in Surry County, North Carolina June 30, 1799. Our distant cousin, Mrs. John I. Shore, whose maiden name was Mattie Long, a descendant of Elizabeth Apperson, gave the writer in 1961, a history of the family. The writer was a guest at the time in the home of Cousin Mattie, a lovely lady, now deceased.
We have no stories of interest about the early girlhood of Elizabeth Apperson. It was probably the same as of any other young girl of that time whose only sister had died and who was brought up in a home with only brothers who may have teased her a bit. On February 17, 1815, when less than sixteen years of age, Elizabeth Apperson married Thomas Sprinkle, born on February 5, 1793, a son of George and Elizabeth Sprinkle, nearby neighbors. As told in the story of Thomas Apperson's family, Tom Sprinkle married the widow of Thomas after the death of Elizabeth Apperson Sprinkle. Elizabeth Apperson Sprinkle bore her husband twelve children. She died in Stokes County, North Carolina May 5, 1851, still in the prime of life. Upon the marriage of Thomas Sprinkle and Luvitha Vest Apperson, the children of both of them were very angry. Luvitha's son, Thomas Vest Apperson, was so incensed that he left North Carolina and the Sprinkle children were somewhat rude to her after Tom Sprinkle died. His death occurred at their home in Stokes County on November 17, 1866. He was buried by his first wife, Elizabeth Apperson, in the old Hunter Family Cemetery, near Pleasant Hill, North Carolina Baptist Church. A number of the Sprinkle family were buried in the graveyard of the Baptist Church, Pleasant Hill, North Carolina.
