He advised her in recurring financial difficulties, wrote her regularly, persuaded her to move her family to Albemarle County in 1798, and appointed her only child, Hore Browse Trist, port collector for the lower Mississippi River in 1803, upon which she moved with him to New Orleans. Hore Browse Trist died in 1804, and Elizabeth Trist returned to Virginia in 1808, spending some of her remaining years as an itinerant houseguest at a variety of Albemarle County estates, including Monticello, where she died and was buried in an unmarked grave.
