Elizabeth was born in Aberdeen c. 1707. Her family were wealthy and she received a good education which almost certainly included art, music, and languages.

Elizabeth married her second cousin, Alexander Blackwell who, at that time, was training to be a doctor. The couple moved to London, where Alexander abandoned his medical career and instead set up as a printer.
