Biography

Elizabeth Alsop[1]

Elizabeth Alsop was the daughter of John Alsop, Gent., of Alsop-le-Dale and Mickleover, Derbyshire, and Temperance Gilbert and sister of Timothy, George, Anthony, John, Jane (married Jackson), Mary and Clere.[1][2] She was born in England, probably in Derby, but the date and place of her birth is unknown and is estimated.[3]
The date of her immigration to America is unknown, but on 5 February 1642/3, she joined the Milford Church (as Elizabeth Alsop).[1] In addition, the will of her brother, John Allsopp of Bonsall, Derby, dated 16 January 1643, proved 10 February 1646, names the following people: his mother, Temperance Hopkins; his eldest brother Anthony; sister Jane Jackson, wife of Roger; grandmother Mrs. Jane Allsopp; aunt Dorothy Hopkinson; his wife Mary Allsopp; and "my two brothers and sister now living in New England" [probably Timothy, George and Elizabeth].[4]
Elizabeth married twice. About 1643, in Milford, Connecticut, she married first Richard Baldwin, son of Sylvester Baldwin[1] and his wife Sarah Bryan.[5][6]
Children:
  1. Mary Baldwin, baptized 1643 (died young)[5]
  2. Elizabeth Baldwin, baptized 1644,[5] married Zachariah Burwell[1]
  3. Sylvanus Baldwin,[1] baptized 1646, married on 26 September 1671 to Mildred Prudden, daughter of Rev. P. Prudden[5] (Sylvanus died 1727)[7]
  4. Richard Baldwin, born in 1647 (died young)[5]
  5. Sarah Baldwin, married Samuel Riggs[1][8] of Derby 14 June 1667; Sarah was baptized in 1649[5]
  6. Temperance Baldwin, baptized 16 June 1651,[5] married Nathan Burwell[1] of Milford, 14 June 1673[5]
  7. Mary Baldwin, baptized 6 November 1653,[5] married (1) Isaac Nichols, (2) Daniel Comstock[1]
  8. Theophilus Baldwin,[1] born 26 April 1659,[5] married Elizabeth Campfield[5] (Theophilus died in 1698)[7]
  9. Zachariah Baldwin,[1] born 22 September 1660, married Mrs. Elizabeth Sanfield[5] (Zachariah died in 1722)[7]
  10. Martha Baldwin, born 1 April 1663,[5] married Samuel Nettleton[1] of Milford[5]
  11. Barnabus Baldwin,[1] born in 1665, "after his father's death"; married three times[5] (Barnabus died in 1741)[7]
Richard Baldwin died 23 July 1665.[1] His estate was presented at Hartford, Connecticut, on 23 September 1665. Richard and Elizabeth's eldest son [Sylvanus] received a double portion and their youngest child [Barnabas], who was born after Richard's death, was not mentioned.[6]
In November 1670, also in Milford, she married second Lieutenant William Fowler.[1]
Elizabeth died perhaps in May 1683.[5][9] She is buried in the old part of Milford Cemetery (no grave marker remains), Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut.[7] Her husband, William, died about the same time. He left a will dated 3 October 1682, proved June 1683, in which he names ten of his children by his first marriage.[10]

Research Notes

CONFLATION WARNING

There is another Elizabeth Alsop (abt.1614-1669), who married Rosseter and was possibly a sister of another Timothy and Josias. See will of the "other" Timothy, who married Martha and had daughters, Betty and Prudence (Elizabeth's brother Timothy married Elizabeth and had two sons who died without issue).[11]

Clue for Immigration

A 1635 immigration could possibly be found here (not available online): KING, CAROL TYLER. Our Second Boat Ship List. In Second Boat (Downeast Ancestry, Machias, ME), vol. 16:4 (Fall 1996), pp. 14-20.

Sister of Joseph?

Anderson notes that she may be the sister of Joseph Alsop, but that more research is needed.[12] Charles C. Baldwin indicates the same.[13]

Unsourced Children

The following children were listed in the profile without a source, and they are not shown by the sources cited. They were detached as children on 27 Nov 2020.

Royal and Magna Carta Ancestry

The line of her mother, Temperance Gilbert, goes back to King Edward I (Longshanks), King of England, Henry Plantagenet (King Henry III of England), Matilada Baldwin who married King William I (William the Conqueror) and their son, King Henry I of England (according to The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants...).[7]
She is a descendant of several Magna Carta Surety Barons, including the Bigods,[1] through her mother's ancestor Sir Richard FitzAlan. (See the Magna Carta Project section, below.)

I'm working my way up from descendants of Nathan and Temperance (Baldwin) Burwell and I was looking ahead here on a break.

Please delete the "(Temperance died 1674)", referencing Find-a-Grave, on the children's listing above; she had several children after that date and was surely living in Jan 1686/7, when we see:

Milford, New Haven, Connecticut, Land Records, 03:016. 11 Jan 1686/7 Elizabeth Fowler of Milford to "son in lawe Nathan Burwell & my Daughter Temperance his wife", half an acre of land in the "new lott" in Milford; given as part of her (Temperance) portion...

FindMyPast parish registers for Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England doesn't have any records for an Elizabeth Alsop. I only find 2 Elizabeth Alsops in the entirety of England born in the early 1600s to a John Alsop, and neither have the right name for the mother. I doubt there exists any record of her birth/baptism.

I believe the FAG citation comes from this collection (https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/2900/) in which there is an entry for an Elizabeth Fowler claiming she died July 28 age 65 - it does not give a year, but the issue is from 1856. I'm not familiar enough with this collection to say anything about its accuracy or what it even means.

Though looking at the entry immediately below Elizabeth Fowler would indicate that this David Nettleton of Killingworth died July 11 1856 (http://dunhamwilcox.net/ct/killing_deaths_1847-1856.htm), which would indicate this is indeed about the year 1856.

Why is FAG being used as the source for the arrival date? There's an immigration list on Ancestry that says 1635 - https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=pili354&indiv=try&h=4459408 - however I can't even find an indication of the existence of this list. Either way, FAG is not a valid source for the date of immigration.

FAG is a poor excuse to change a birth date. The first husbands birth was 1622. Fowler's, I suspect is an estimate. Dtr Mary bpt 1643 and Eliza was bpt 1644. So I'd say the 1622 date is probably a better estimate. Mark the DB error as false, hide forever reason estimated dates.

1622 birth year is triggering a database error - FindAGrave for her has birth in 1625 (but no sources there either).

If no source for either date, I would be inclined to change the date back to "about 1625", to match her 2nd husband's birth year.

Any objection?

Richardson's MCA (same page as preveious comment) gives her marriage to Fowler as "1 (or 15) Nov. 1670".

Ancestry's transcription of the Barbour Collection states 15 Nov 1670

Noland-165 Liz (Noland) Shifflett
source for change of birth year from 1625 to "certain 1622"? Her bio says that her first husband was born in 1622, her second in 1625. The only mention of a birth year for her is 1625.

Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry (Vol I, p 9 ALSOP) does not mention a birth year for her.
