| Notes |
- BIRTH: There is no proof that Elizabeth is the daughter of John and Edith Tilley. However, there is considerable circumstantial evidence. Investigation of all known Tilley families in New England during the period finds no other family into which Elizabeth could fit. Furthermore, after the death of John Tilley in Oct 1636, the widow Edith was granted land in Windsor, where she took up residence. See Windsor Deeds, 1:25, 30, 51, 53, 77, 112 (FHL #006188). Also see Henry R. Stiles, HISTORY AND GENEALOGIES OF ANCIENT WINDSOR, 2 vols. (Hartford, 1891-92; repr Somersworth, NH, 1976), 1:167 (FHL #974.62/W1 H2s). Windsor is within 20 miles of Springfield. Thomas Merrick, who was once a resident of Connecticut, was, at the time of his marriage, freighting goods from Springfield to Windsor for John Pynchon (Carl Bridenbaugh, ed, THE PYNCHON PAPERS, 2 vols. Publications of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts, vols. 60 and 61 [Boston, 1982], 2:23, 200 [BYU #F61.C71]). No other Tilley family was in close proximity to Springfield. Eady, the widow of John Tilley, was capable of bearing children, as she had a dau Abigail by her 2nd husband, Nicholas Camp. The date and place of birth of Elizabeth Tilley are approximations based on family chronology and history. See DORCHESTER TOWN RECORDS, 4th Report Boston Record Commissioners (Boston, 1883), 2, 11, 18, 26, 27, 30, 305, 322 (FHL #974.46/D1 N2d). Elizabeth is called the dau of John Tilley in Herbert E. Thayer, "Miscellaneous Genealocial Records" (card index, n.d.), alpabetically arranged, Springfield Public Library (FHL #185395).
