Also, I removed her marriage to Jonathan Prater, born 1730. Highly unlikely she married a man 62 years her junior.
edit: I checked her "father," John Bgger's profile. If the summary of his will is complete, it looks like this John Bigger did not have a daughter named Elizabeth. Considering this and the uncertainty as to her maiden name mentioned in her profile and her husband's, I will mark her connection to these parents uncertain. The profile managers should consider whether she should be disconnected. Thanks!
