Biography

Elizabeth Larkin was born on 5 (7) 1641 (5 September 1641), in Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Her parents were Edward and Joanna Larkin. They had arrived in Charlestown from England by 1638, and Elizabeth was their second child.^[1][2]

Elizabeth's father died on 15 November 1651,^[3] when Elizabeth was 10 years old. Prior to Edward's death Elizabeth's younger sister Hannah had been given to close friends of her parents, John and Joanna Penticost, who had no children of their own. By 1658 John Penticost was a widower, and he married Elizabeth's mother; it was the second marriage for each of them.^[4] Joanna and Elizabeth were thus reunited with Hannah, then age about 15.

Elizabeth married John Newton on 5 June 1666, in Charlestown.^[5][6]

John's parents were living in Marlborough, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, and Elizabeth and John moved there after they married. They had children, all born in Marlborough:^[7]

2. Samuel (23 Dec 1668), married his uncle Isaac Newton's widow Rebecca on 8 September 1688, but because of consanguineal law their marriage was terminated on 25 Aug 1690, before the birth of their second child. Samuel disappeared from Marlborough and was listed as "fell overboard and was drowned."

4. Elizabeth (3 Jan 1672/3), married Zachariah Eager
5. Thomas (27 or 29 Dec 1674), married Rebecca Ward
