Biography

Elizabeth Shirland born 1577 in Ottery St. Mary, near Exeter in Devon, England. Documents show she was later married to Robert Adams and that she gave birth to an only son in Devon. The pirate stories are just that stories. The truth is in fact is she did exist and she is a genuine historical character, she stayed home fulfilling her family duties- there is no evidence she ever left.

Robert and Elizabeth (Sharlon); son of Richard and Margaret (Armager); son of Nicholas (or John) and Margaret. This Robert claimed to be 16th in line from John Ap Adam but there is no reference to this claim

Robert Adams was, according to uniform tradition, a native of Devonshire, England.

Robert and Elizabeth Adams had a son Robert, who is supposed,* but not certainly known, to be the Robert Adams who came to Ipswich, New England, in 1635, with his wife Eleanor.

According to Joshua Coffin and Burkes Commoners this could be a possibility.
