Biography

Lettice Aggar, also Letticia (the name was spelled "Lettice Aggar" in Great Migration Begins which profiled at least two of her sons)[1] ) Since those sons are included in our Puritan Great Migration Project, we are using Anderson's spelling as "correct."

The name is spelled variously in user-generated online data bases.

Origin

Lettice's birth place is uncertain. According to BrÃderbund Software, Inc., she was born in 1577 at Nazeing, Essex, England?[2]

Her parents are unknown.

Marriage and Children

Lettice married on 30 October 1598 at St. John Baptist, Widford, Hertfordshire, England, to Bennett Eliot (Spelled "Bennett Eliot" by Anderson).[3]

Children of Lettice and Bennett ("Eliot" spelling used by Anderson):[4]

  1. Philip Eliot
  2. Sarah Eliot d 1673
  3. Jacob Eliot d 1651
  4. John Eliot d 1690
  5. Lydia Eliot d before 1676
  6. Francis Eliot d 1697
  7. Mary Eliot

Death and Legacy

Lettice died 16 March 1619/20 at Nazeing, Essex, England.[4][3] This appears to have been only five days after the birth of her last child, Mary, and so was perhaps the result of complications in that birth (added by Stoddard Martin Jr, 14 v 20). She was buried at Church of All Saints at Nazeing.[3]

Have you found any evidence for the father being Francis vs Robert? Thanks, Becky

Just a spelling note -- Nazeing in Essex is spelled with an "e."

Aggar-8 and Aggar-6 appear to represent the same person because: I think they are the same person
posted by Barry Meadows
I believe that Aggar-6 and Aggar-8 are the same person. The birth and death dates are similar, and I have seen her name spelled both ways in different sources.
posted by Kris (Hodgins) Kreiner
Aggar-8 and Aggar-6 appear to be the same person because the dates are the same or similar, and Letteye is the spelling given in other sources for Lettice.

Aggar-8 and Alger-35 appear to represent the same person because: put into unmerged state by mistake
posted by Robin Lee
Alger-35 and Aggar-8 are not ready to be merged because: Not enough information
Lettice Aggar-8 At least two of her children are featured in Anderson's Great Migration Begins, and the spelling "Aggar" is used. So Aggar-8 has the "correct" spelling.

Thanks!

Aggar-7 and Alger-35 appear to represent the same person because: This looks like the same person. Name variation. Perhaps someone with more familiarity with this family can determine the correct birth and death dates? Please review for merge. Thank you.
