She and Benjamin bore four children, Thomas, Elizabeth Jr., Catherine, and Susanna. Betty survived her husband by six years, succumbing to illness in their Concord home on March 21, 1760.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or trials:
“Being so wrong about her makes me wonder now how often I am utterly wrong about myself. And how wrong she might have been about her mother, how wrong he might have been about his father, how much of family life is a vast web of misunderstandings, a tinted and touched-up family portrait, an accurate representation of fact that leaves out only the essential truth.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Without trials and tribulations, no one can become a Buddha.”
—Chinese proverb.
