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:
“I am content to live it all again,
And yet again, if it be life to pitch
Into the frog-spawn of a blind man’s ditch.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“On the whole, yes, I would rather be the Chief Justice of the United States, and a quieter life than that which becomes at the White House is more in keeping with the temperament, but when taken into consideration that I go into history as President, and my children and my children’s children are the better placed on account of that fact, I am inclined to think that to be President well compensates one for all the trials and criticisms he has to bear and undergo.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
