Biography

Elizabeth (Alcock) Banks immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).

Elizabeth Alcock was born in 1629, in Mancetter, Warwickshire, England,[1] to John Alcock and Elizabeth Wrightman or Weightman.[2]

She married Richard Banks in 1655. They were the parents of at least 4 sons.

Children:

  1. Banks, John, b. Abt 1655, d. 1726 (Age ~ 71 years)
  2. Banks, Lt. Joseph, b. 1667, d. 29 Mar 1745 (Age 78 years)

Richard was killed at the York Raid of 1692 when Indian and French raided, killing 48 and capturing 70 others. There is no mention of his sons Samuel and Job after that date so they may have likewise perished. His widow and two remaining sons made an agreement on 22 April, 1696 for the division of his estate.

Elizabeth is mentioned in her father's will in 1675[3]

She died after 3 January 1699, in York, Province of Maine, British Colonial America, at the age of 70, and was buried in Roxbury, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.[4] [5]

  5. The birth info comes from this citation, but some caution should be taken, since there is little corroborating info to suggest that this profile is the same person. Charles Banks does note that her father arrived in York around 1643 or before. It is possible that he came from England with his family. Banks also says that Elizabeth survived her husband, Richard Banks by several years and gives a date (his?) of 1692. - Dr. Charles Banks, The Alcock Family of Maine, The New England historical and genealogical register, Vol xxxvi,1882, p. 400-401.
