Person:Elizabeth Browne (21)

After John’s death, Elizabeth remarried Robert Hinsdale, but it didn’t work out and she soon moved home. They were cited for living apart and there was a court dispute over the matter that was not yet resolved by his death in 1675.^[6]

Two children died young.

4.   Opinion [Theory from Lane, above].

   "Elizabeth was referred as “kinswomen Elizabeth Hawks of Hadley” in Nathaniel Ward’s will. Nathaniel was the son of Edward Ward of Little Wrathing, Suffolk. Edward's will of 9 Jan 1620 names his wife Judith, kids Nathaniel, Edward, Lydia, Mary, Rebecca, and Susan. Susan was the widow of Robert Browne. Her 22 Mar 1626 will refers to her mother Judith, sisters Rebecca Ward and Mary Cutting and “Elizabeth Browne, daughter of my brother-in-law William Browne” The missing sister here is Lydia, who married William."
   
   However, see rebuttal below this is not correct.

5.   Rebuttal.

   Elizabeth _____ has been covered extensively and in every peer reviewed source she is Elizabeth ______ not Elizabeth Brown. See the Great Migration 2:2:346 for Robert Dibble where Anderson states his son Thomas Dibble married Elizabeth _____ link. See the Great Migration sketch 2:3:257-61 for John Hawkes link where Anderson states his wife was Elizabeth ______. Next read carefully the following two articles:

   This statement above "The missing sister here is Lydia, who married William [Browne]" is not correct. The family has been studied extensively. Edward Ward of Little Wratting, Suffolk, England married Judith Lukyn. They had nine children of which the baptism and / or marriages have been found for many. Lydia Ward baptized 4 Nov 1593 in Little Wratting, Suffolk, married on 30 Aug 1620 in St, Stephen, Ipswich, Suffolk, England William Markham who was buried 8 JUL 1624 in Woolverstone, Suffolk. Their son William Markham bp 3 MAY 1621 in Woolverstone, Suffolk immigrated to New England and is an ancestor of an american president. Lydia did not marry anyone named Browne. Susan Ward did indeed marry Robert Browne and they lived in Ipswich, Suffolk. When she referred to her brother in-law she was referring to her husband's brother not her sister's husband.
