I think this is your lady and it shows her maiden name. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15212590/elizabeth-bacon

The FG memorial offers no source for its claim. The narrative above references "Torrey, p. 701: STANLEY, Timothy (1600-1648) & Elizabeth [MORRICE?], m/2 Andrew BACON; by Jan 1632/3; ?Hartford/Farmington?" Using AmericanAncestors, the citations used by Torrey are: Fellows (1940) 147; Warner-Harrington 620; Hartford Prob. 1:36, 119; Keeler-Wood 363, 365; Bassett-Preston 218, 273; Dunham-Boyd 123; Cole (1887)."

Each of these references need checking to find out what source or evidence each provides fir her supposed maiden name.

Kathy, I aso suggest you read the articles referenced under "Disputed Origins"

Jim V, you added a note that there is evidence her maiden name was Morrice with a link to Ancestry. Could you provide more info about the Ancestry source and what it says/includes? Many of us don't have access. Thanks.

Changing her surname to Unknown in a few days. Last chance to object.

Aldrich-908 Cheryl (Aldrich) Skordahl
Since there is no evidence for the surname "Morrice" for Elizabeth, I think it's time to change her LNAB to Unknown.

This is a PGM profile. Anderson in his Great Migration says her surname is unknown.

I added a source which quotes her epitaph on Morrice-2. Using the date of death from that (1678, and subtracting her years given in the epitaph (76), it appears she was born about 1602.

Morrice-2 and Morrice-19 are not ready to be merged because: Same person, slightly different dates.
