Work In Progress

Still sorting out whether this Elizabeth died or married Baynter. Or did Elizabeth Boucher, unmarried at time of her father's will, marry Baynter?

Biography

Elizabeth was born no earlier than 1635, and more likely 1636. John Vassar claimed headrights on himself, his wife, and one servant. He does not claim headrights on any of his children. All claimants would receive additional land for each child transported and would claim every one possible. This is strong evidence that none of the children were born before 1635. It is also very unlikely they immigrated at a later date. Although possible, if this were the case additional headrights would have been claimed by the parents, or the children themselves upon their maturity. At any rate, his will does mention Elizabeth as the eldest daughter, who is likely is old enough to be engaged. The will is dated 1650, so conservatively her year of birth is 1636.,

Death 1671 12 Feb Age: 46 Isle of Wight, Isle of Wight, Virginia
