Elizabeth born 1679 the daughter of Jonathan Vickery and Elizabeth Hudson. She married Jonathan Collins January 27, 1704/05 in Eastham, Barnstable Co., MA; born August 20, 1682 in Eastham, Barnstable Co., MA.

During Queen Anne’s War (1702-1713), Elizabeth, aged 18, took passage on a fishing boat from Truro to Boston, perhaps to visit her grandparents in Hull. En route the vessel was taken by a French privateer, but Elizabeth was overlooked by the prize crew (four French sailors) when they boarded the vessel and steered it toward Nova Scotia. Caught in a gale, they were wrecked and forced to spend the winter on Sable Island, about 200 miles off Nova Scotia, until spring when the Royal Navy was able to rescue them. The french were taken as captives to Halifax, from which Elizabeth was sent home.287 (See Frederick S. Rich, Wellfleet, Truro and Cape Cod, 1884.)
