Elizabeth _______ . The erroneous surname Lincoln is based on the fact that her husband Richard Tootill was witness to the will of Elizabeth Lyncoln in 1556 and that he soon married her. This is pure coincidence. Elizabeth Lyncoln died shortly about 1556. [1] The surname Southcott has also been proposed with no supporting evidence.
Richard Tootill of Woodford, was born say 1530. His will was made 1589 and proved 11 Mar 1590 at Peterborough and named seven children and his wife Elizabeth who was executrix along with their son Anthony. Their 7 children were: Symon, Anthony, Elizabeth, Ellen, Mary, Frances, and Thomas.[2][3]
Richard and Elizabeth were married about 1558. [4]
Based on her husband's birth, 1530, the estimated birth of Symon, 1560, Elizabeth may have been born 1535-1540 ish.

For example, the Bullock website you mention, states "Richard Tuttle ... a witness in 1556 to the will of Elizabeth Lyncoln, whom some say, he soon after married".
Unfortunately the website doesn't say where it got this information about the 1556 will, but it is almost certainly this probate entry in Phillimore's Calendar of Wills ... Proved in the Court of the Archdeacon of Northampton 1510 to 1652 on page 60 column 1. Since the will was probated in 1556/7, the testator must have been deceased by this time, so could not be Elizabeth the wife of Richard Tuttle who had children after this date.
