Research Notes

1. N.B. the work by Browning is considered "fake genealogy" and should be treated with healthy skepticism.
2. Looked on FamilySearch for LNAB 1/2022
3. Searched Ancestry for LNAB. No source found. I proposed a merge to solve the LNAB problem of the misspelled word. Merge into Unknown-298718 fixes it. 4/2/2022
4. Elizabeth was born about 1700. She passed away after 1758. This statement came in from a merged profile action. It can possibly be removed.
5. Mentioned in her husband, Alexander Killpatrick's, will as his wife.
