Beulah Chittenden^1,2

#1033, (1764 - 1824)

Beulah Chittenden was born on 15 May 1764 in Salisbury, Connecticut.^3,4
Beulah married first Capt. Elijah George Galusha, son of Jacob Galusha and Lydia Huntington.⁵
Beulah married second Matthew Lyon in Aug 1784 in Vermont.^6,7,8
She died on 6 Feb 1824 in Little Rock, Arkansas, at age 59. While several sources show her death in 1821, based on the date on her tombstone, I believe that the final digit of the year, eroded by weather, was original a "4" and is now mis-read as a "1."^9,10,11
She was buried in Riverview Cemetery, Eddyville, Caldwell Co., Kentucky.¹²
