Elizabeth Coolbaugh (William Coolbaugh , William Coolbaugh , Johannes Wilhelmus , Johannes ) was born on 21 Feb 1785 in Shawnee, Monroe, Pa. She was christened on 13 Sep 1785 in Reformed Dutch Church, Smithfield Twp., Monroe Co., Pa. She died on 7 Feb 1864 in Daggetts Mills,Tioga,Pa. Elizabeth married Norman Wells.

Note: there is a James Wells in 1790 in Upper Smithfield, Monroe Co, PA, where Elizabeth was christened. Where were they married? Since the children born in NY, and Norman was in NY in 1810, that seems likely.
