Elizabeth Cecil 
Elizabeth was born in Cecil Co or Prince George Co,MD. Elizabeth's father was Phillip Sessell Cissell and her mother was Elizabeth Sprigg Gittings. Her paternal grandparents were William Cecil and Mary Unknown. She had four brothers and two sisters, named John, William B., Joshua, Philip Gittings, Mary and Susannah. She had a half-sister named Elizabeth. She died after 1795 in Tazewell Co,VA.General Notes
Also Known As:<_AKA> Elizabeth /Cissell/
adopted by her father's brother JohnCecil because her father died when she was age 12?
I still stand on my position that Elizabeth Cecil who married Thomas Witten was the daughter of Phillip and Elizabeth (Gittings?) Cecil. We do not know if John Cecil and Elizabeth (Sollars)Cecil had a daughter. We have collected the names of their sons from wills, etc....but no daughter is named that I have found.
On the other hand, we doknow that Phillip Cecil had a daughter named
Elizabeth, who would have been about sixteen when he died. She is named in
his will and in estate papers. Philllip didn't leave much to his family
(nothing, in fact) and his widow must have struggled to keep things together.
It is quite possible that Elizabeth wentto live with her uncle, John Cecil
and wife Elizabeth Sollars. She and Samuel would have been first cousins.
If somebody has found more info on John Ceciland Elizabeth Sollars having a
daughter named Elizabeth, I'd really appreciate it! Anyway, I've been doing a
lot of work on other names lately, but I always come back to old William--the
father of so many of us! I would love to solve this mystery before I pass
on...but may have to wait to ask him in person!!;)

Hi all:
The above nails it about Elizabeth Cecil as the child of Phillip and Elizabeth
Gittings Cecil. John and Elizabeth Sollers Cecil did not (as far as we know)
ever live in the New Scotland Hundred. But Phillip Cecil's widow did! It is
still probable that Elizabeth Cecil went to live with her uncle after her
father's death in 1733.
