Biography

Elizabeth Lucas Jones was born in 1688^[1] or Aug, 1697^[2], in Middletown, Middlesex county, Connecticut, and died 20 Oct 1782(aged 93–94) in Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut.

"Although this person was likely interred in Guilford's original village cemetery (now the commons and public park in downtown Guilford), no surviving gravestone was known in 1818 when all gravestones at the Village Green, but not the people's remains, were dispersed to other town cemeteries."

"Elizabeth married Caleb Jones, January 19, 1724, Guilford, CT, following the death of his first wife. They had six known children: Aaron, Sibyl, Tryphena, Hannah, and William."

Research Notes

FindaGrave provided links to her husband:

Caleb Jones 1688–1754 (m. 1724)

and one child:

Sibyl Jones Hoadley 1729–1764^[3]

Online trees' list her parents as William Lucas Jr. & Elizabeth (Rowley) Lucas. They did have a daughter Elizabeth who was born in Middleton in Aug 1697. I have not found any documentation for FindaGrave's dob of 1688.

Elizabeth & Caleb' had a daughter Tryphena who married William Lucas IV, who was a grandson of William Lucas Jr. & Elizabeth (Rowley) Lucas.
