Biography

Elizabeth Stroud was born in 1630. She married (1) Robert Chamberlain in Englandcitation needed, and had 4 children (Robert, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Jean).^[1] Her first husband died and in 1664 she married (2) Francis Hickman, with whom she had 4 children (Joseph, Benjamin, Mary, and Hannah).^[1][2]

Gilbert Cope has Elizabeth (Stroud) Hickman aka Chamberlain, with her 4 children and 2nd husband Francis Hickman, emigrating from England before 1685 (same year Francis Hickman died),^[1] which would mean Elizabeth and Francis emigrated from England with all 8 children or at least most of them.

Gilbert Cope also shows Sarah (daughter from her first marriage) marrying Richard Arnold 2mth 19, 1681 near Burlington New Jersey,^[1] which would suggest that this family emigrated before 1681.

She passed away in 1698.
