Born: June 15, 1812, Tavistock, Devonshire, England.

Died: 1873, Plymouth, England.

Daughter of Rev. W. Rooker (for nearly half a century the Congregational minister at Tavistock), Elizabeth led a young men and women’s class in the vestry of her father’s chapel on Sunday evenings; it was named the “Willing Class” because the students came “willingly.” From 1840 to 1844, she wrote several hymns for this class, some of which came into use through various collections, including the Baptist Psalms and Hymns in 1858. Some years later, 18 of these hymns were collected and printed by one her old scholars as Willing Class Hymns.

Elizabeth married T. Edgecombe Parson in 1844.
