I have been trying to understand why it says Elizabeth is mentioned in Josiah's will written in 1743/44 but the link to Elizabeth says she died June 17, 1714. And, that she died in Yarmouth when it seem as if the family was already in East Greenwich. This seems to be consistent on other sites as well. What am I missing?
