Biography

Work in progress - there is some conflation to work out

Elizabeth was born in about 1585. It is not yet clear who her parents were but she was almost certainly born in Englad.

When her Profile was created, her LNAB was set as Marvil. This is being researched and needs to be confirmed. An Elizabeth Marvill married an Edward How on 10 October 1632 in Watton At Stone, Hertford, England.^[1] More research is required to confirm this is the marriage of this Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, aged 50, arrived in 1635 in Massachusetts, New England, with her husband Edward Howe. They arrived on the Truelove.^[2] Five children arrived with the couple but it is unlikely they were Elizabeth's children as the couple, assuming the marriage in 1632 is correct, had only been married for two years and the youngest child was 6 years old.^[3][4] With them were;

• Jeremy 21 (c1614)?^[5]
• Sarah 12 (c1623)?^[6]
• Ephraim 9 (c1626)?^[7]
  • Ephraim Married Ann Hough in 1653 in New Haven.^[8]
• Isaac 7 (c1628)?
  • Isaac married .^[9]
• William 6 (c1629)?
