Elizabeth Stockett Plummer (Stockett-7) is listed as the wife of Thomas Plummer and the daughter of Thomas Stockett III (Stockett-9) and Mary Wells Stockett Yate (Wells-1267).
Elizabeth's birthdate is estimated as 1646. But her father Thomas Stockett's birth year of 1635 is well documented, and her mother Mary Wells' is estimated as 1633 (I have seen it later on other sources) - I truly doubt that her parents were no more than 11 and 13 at the time of her birth. Also, Elizabeth's siblings are all shown to have birth dates in the 1660's, which makes more sense if the parents' birth dates are correct.
My first thought was that there was an error in Elizabeth's birth date, but I don't think that can be the case, either. Her WikiTree profile lists a number of children with all kinds of birthdates. My own research uncovered five children listed in her husband Thomas Plummer/Ploumer's Will from 1694 - Thomas, Margaret, Mary, Susanna, and Elizabeth. All but Elizabeth were adults and the three other girls were married by 1794, so their birth dates are generally estimated as starting around 1668 and going through the mid 1670's. If Elizabeth were actually a decade younger, making it possible for her to be the offspring of her supposed parents, she wouldn't be old enough to be the mother of her own children.
It's clear that Elizabeth's WikiTree profile has some errors, but when I went to other sources, I can't find an answer either. Everything I find says she is the wife of Thomas Plummer, but none of the dates add up.
Does anyone else think it's possible that Thomas Plummer's wife was a different Elizabeth, and not Elizabeth Stockett? Or maybe Elizabeth Stockett was married to Thomas Plummer, Jr, son of Thomas Plummer and Elizabeth mnu?
This one has me utterly confused and I don't have the skills and experience to sort it out. I'm also fairly new here and not sure how all of the collaboration and different projects work on scenarios like this. Any guidance would be helpful!
