Elizabeth Marshall was the daughter of Roger Marshall, Gent., of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, by Katherine Mitton.[1][2][3] Her date and place of birth are unknown and are estimated.
Elizabeth married at St. Chad's, Shrewsbury, Shropshire 29 August 1618 to Thomas Lewis,[4] Gent., of St Chad's, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, son of Andrew Lewis by Mary Herring.[1][2][3] They had two sons and five daughters, all baptized at St. Chad's, Shrewsbury:
Mary, wife of Rev. Richard Gibson,[1] was baptized 28 June 1619[3]
Susanna,[1] baptized 2 November 1620, no further record[3]

Andrew, second of name,[1] baptized 25 March 1628, no further record[3]
In 1628, Thomas immigrated to Saco (in what is now Maine) and returned to England at some point before 1631.[3] In 1629 the Plymouth Company granted to Thomas Lewis and Capt. Richard Bonython a tract of thirty two square miles on the eastern bank of the Saco River,[1] "commonly called or known by the name of Swanckadocke".[3] Thomas returned to Saco by 28 June 1631[3] and his wife and three daughters joined him there in 1637.[1][2]
Thomas died before 1640,[1] between 7 May 1637 (lawsuit) and 28 April 1640 (called deceased in court record).[3] Elizabeth died before 8 October 1640[1] (partition of her estate).[3]
