Elizabeth Stonemetz was the daughter of Johann Nicklaus Steinmetz "Stonemetz" and wife Catharina - both were immigrants from Prussia (now Germany).
Around 1760, she married to Aaron Biddle, Jr., in Upper Penn's Neck (now Carneys Point) Township, Salem County, Province of New Jersey.
Her husband is registered as a patriot of the American Revolution with SAR (National Society, Sons of the American Revolution), under membership number 33739. The SAR application reads, in part:
"Captain Aaron Biddle, on the eve of the Revolutionary War, seeing danger was imminent, organized a company of soldiers. Having no ready money to equip them, he leased his property in Salem County, New Jersey, and with the money he obtained from this source, he clothed and fed his troops until the government was able to take care of them... the family and servants of said Aaron Biddle, during the war, had on several occasions to sleep in the swamps near his home because of the fear of the British who knew that Captain Biddle had a large supply of grain in his barn which he had raised for the American army. His company served in Col. Samuel Dick's battalion of Salem County militia."
