Elizabeth was born in 1666 at Barnstable, daughter of Nicholas Bonham Hannah Fuller.[1] She married Edward Slater 9 Jan 1685 in Piscataway, New Jersey[2] and they had the following children, born in Piscataway, NJ:[1]
Edward Slater had married 1st Mary (Unknown) by whom he had son Edward in May 17 1683. Inventory of the estate of Edward of "Piscataque" was taken 11 Feb 1702/3 by Thomas Grub and George Drake. Administration was granted 29 May 1704 to widow Elizabeth.[1]
She married 2nd John Drake Sr. who died in Essex County, New Jersey between 7 April 1740 and 29 September 1741. There is no evidence that they had any children.[1]
On 21 Dec 1715 Elizabeth Drake "late wife of Edward Slater," acknowledged that she and her deceased husband had witnessed a deed by Thomas Higgins of Piscataway on 26 Jan 1682/3.[1]
There does not appear to be a recorded date of death nor a will for Elizabeth Drake. We know she was alive in Piscataway, New Jersey in 1715 and died prior to when her second husband, John Drake, wrote his will 7 April 1740.
