Elizabeth Gorsuch is correctly represented by Gorsuch-157. I think that this profile might best be changed to "Unknown" and keep her relationships, although sources are lacking for her information (1607-1676, married 1659, to whom, and the children).
The Elizabeth Powell named in the will is for a woman born after 1638, so I intend to move that section to a comment on Gorsuch-157.
