Biography

This profile represents the "An Ellice" who married Edward Colver.

A previous version of this profile claimed, without source, that Ann Ellis Colver was the daughter of John Ellis and Ann Benjamin and born or baptized 1 Jul 1619 at Skipton, Yorkshire, England. Lacking support for these origins, the parents have been detached.

While there was an Anne, d/o John Ellis, baptized 6 July 1619 at Holy Trinity, Skipton, Yorkshire (West Riding),^[1] there are at least a dozen Ann Ellises recorded b. 1618-1619. How do we know this is the Ann Ellis who m. Edward Colver?

As "An Ellice," she married Edward Colver (aka Culver) 19 September 1638 in Dedham, Massachusetts Bay Colony.^[2]

Ann and Edward's marriage is the second one in the Dedham Church records (First Baptist Church of Dedham) The Rev. John Allin presided.

She died 4 December 1678 in Groton, New London, Connecticut.^{[citation needed]}

Ann is buried with Edward in the Wightman Burying Ground in Groton, MA.^[3]
