Elizabeth Wood was a widow at the time of her marriage to William Bradway. She was incorrectly identified by Shourds as a daughter of Christopher White, but he had no daughter Elizabeth, and his son Christopher was born after her marriage to William Bradway.
Who were her first husband and parents?Given she was a widow in 1687 when she was married, DOB is estimated as before 1667 (age 20 at time of marriage).
"In 1687 William Bradway married Elizabeth Wood, a widow. Their daughter Sarah married Mr. Wright (SCGD 1: 285; 1st Cong 1: 196-197; Hinshaw 2: 56)."[1]
Married: about 26 JUL 1687 in Salem, Salem County, New Jersey[2] at the Salem Friends Monthly Meeting.[3]
According to Corrections to Shourds, the children of William Bradway and Elizabeth (Unknown?) (Wood) Bradway were:
The last recorded child of Elizabeth was born in 1700. William Bradway married his second wife in 1703. Elizabeth must have died between 1700 and 1703.

Maybe you can find her husband ??? Wood, who must have died before her second marriage on 26 JUL 1687. His death was probably at least six months before that date, because the Quakers frowned on a hasty remarriage for a widow or widower.
Good Hunting:)
