Biography

Available Records

A 1912 article in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register contains transcriptions of records show that administration of the goods of a Richard Rolfe, late of Hamptworth in Downton parish, was granted to Elizabeth Rolfe, relict of the deceased on August 28, 1567.[1] As discussed in the profile for Richard Rolfe, the author of the 1912 plausibly suggested that the Richard Rolfe referenced in this record was the same Richard Rolfe who was the son of Henry Rolfe.[2]

A 1912 NEGHR article contains a record of the 1598 will of a Richard Rolfe, which includes bequests to his father-in-law William Sanders and his brother William Sanders.[3] The author of the article plausibly suggested that this Richard Rolfe was the son of the Richard Rolfe whose estate was administered in 1567 and that the references to the the Sanders showed that Elizabeth who was granted administration of that estate remarried to a man named William Sanders and had a son by him, also named William Sanders.[2]

This profile is based on those records and propositions.

Parentage; Date and Place of Birth

The parentage of William Sanders, second husband of Elizabeth (Unknown) Rolfe, is unknown. Based on Elizabeth's estimated date of birth about 1645, William may have been born about 1643. His place of birth is unknown, but he was also probably born someplace in Wiltshire.

Marriages and Children

William married Elizabeth (Unknown) Rolfe sometime after first husband's death in 1567.[4] Their date of marriage is uncertain, but they were probably born within a few years after her first husband's death, say, 1569. Elizabeth and William had the following child (and perhaps others):

  1. William Sanders, b. perhaps about 1570

Death

William's date of death is unknown. He is mentioned in the 1598 will of his stepson, RIchard Rolfe, so it is clear that he died sometime after that date.
