| Elizabeth (Godfrey) Bunker is a part of Massachusetts history. Join: Massachusetts Project Discuss: massachusetts |
This person is probably not Jane Bunker, widow of George Bunker. That person appears to be George's second wife.
Elizabeth's parents are not known; therefore, her date of birth is unknown. There was an Elizabeth, daughter of John Godfrey, baptized 5 Aug 1627 in Toddington, Bedford, England. And there was an Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth (Mead) Godfrey, baptized March 6, 1631 in Cardington, Bedford, England. Toddington is only a couple miles from Tingrith where her husband was born . . .
Elizabeth married George Bunker on May 5, 1644 at Malden Parish in Bedfordshire England.
At the time of George's death in 1658 in Massachusetts, his will named his widow "Jane Bunker". There is no record of any marriage between George Bunker and "Jane" either in England or America nor documentation of Elizabeth's death. It is unknown if "Elizabeth" and "Jane" are the same woman, or if Elizabeth died and George remarried.
It is presumed that "Elizabeth" was the mother of George's first two children, born in England:
She may or may not have been the mother of George's three children born in America:
The death date of 31 Dec 1662 belongs to Jane and is not Elizabeth's information unless Elizabeth and Jane are the same person.
It has been pointed out that the above record from 1886 incorrectly mixed up George's first and second wives.
