Elizabeth is a descendant of Hugh Roe. Hugh's descendants are detailed, after a fashion, in the Frank C. Roe book. [1]
The family lived in for a time in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Colony and then moved to Suffield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Suffield eventually became part of the State of Connecticut. Suffield is now known as Suffield, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA. [2]
In 1692 the Massachusetts Bay Colony was incorporated into the Province of Massachusetts Bay, of which parts eventually evolved into the State of Massachusetts (more or less).
Saybrook, New London County, Colony of Connecticut is now known as Deep River, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA [3]
When researching on any original records, consider these name changes over time. Some of the transcribed or interpreted data uses modern names instead of the event-contemporaneous names. This profile follows the Wikitree guidance for location names. [4]
There was a Hugh Roe (d: 5 Aug 1689) married to Abigail Unknown, a 2nd wife.
They lived in several locations within the Massachusetts Bay Colony, had 4 children from their union, one of which was Elizabeth Roe.
i. Samuel b. 14 Jan 1656 Weymouth
ii. Abigail b. ca 1660
iii. Peter b. ca 1662
iv. Elizabeth b. 1664
When Hugh died, his estate was divided between son Peter and daughters; son Samuel had previously died.
Don't know if will mentions 3 previous daughters from first wife. Will was filed in North Hampton, Hampshire County, Province of Massachusetts Bay.
Elizabeth would have been about 25 years old at this time in 1689. The will might indicate if she was married.
At the time of his death, Hugh was a landholder in Suffield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Elizabeth is listed as mother of two children in the Suffield Historical Society listing for Hugh Roe family. [5]
1665 [1]
Frank Roe's file lists a spouse of Elizabeth as Thomas Merrill (m:1685, Suffield), but also details that no marriage record has been found. [1]
