Elizabeth was born in c1460 the daughter of John Eland.
That the Elands held property in Lincolnshire at an early date we learn from the mention in pedigrees of the family ofThomas Eland, of Raithby, near Louth, who in 1362 inherited his paternal estates of Carlinghow and Brighouse, Yorkshire. And in the Will of Thomas Eland, of Carlinghow and Brighouse, the then head of the family, who died in 1444, he appoints John Eland, of Raithby, his executor. This John Eland may possibly have been the same who died in 1463, and whose slab is in Baumber Church. The Raithby property must at some subsequent period have reverted to the Elands of Carlinghow and Brighouse, and only passed out of the family on the death of Robert Eland, of Carlinghow and Brighouse, as we find by the following: "Inquisition P.M. held at Spillesby, Lincolnshire, 14 Henry VIII, of Robert Eland, Esq. (Lands at Raithby, etc.) The Jury say that Robert Eland died 20th September, 13th Henry VIIl, and that the lands held by the said Robert Eland were inherited by Elizabeth Sandon, wife of William Sandon, and Johanna Lyndsey, wife of Robert Lyndsey, as heirs of the aforesaid Robert, daughters of Elizabeth Fulnetby, formerly wife of John Fulnetby, aunt of the aforesaid Robert Eland, Esq., and that William Tyrwhit, Miles j William Mirfield, Miles; John Savile, Miles; and John Fulnetby, were seized of land for the use the said Robert and Elizabeth his wife, remainder to the heirs of Robert Eland, Knight."[1]
