The author identifies Elizabeth as the daughter of Joseph Cady and Elizabeth Hosmer, who was baptized June 19, 1719. However, the marriage record (as transcribed) doesn't identify her father, and her age at death is several years off from a 1719 birth year. It seems likely that the author has misidentified the Elizabeth Cady in this marriage.
