    "… Elizabeth (Harris) (Wheeler) (Nesbitt) de la Porte alias Poisson, born about 1656, who died in July 1725 at age 69. Elizabeth, apparently born in England, was almost certainly a daughter of the merchant Thomas Herris of London, Boston, Hartford, and Philadelphia by an unknown early wife [NGSQ, 80 (1992): 48-49] her stepmother, Rebecca (Sheafe?) (Willis) Herris, very likely was a sister-in-law of John2 Blackleach of Boston and Hartford. She had married first at Stratford, 29 May 1678, Samuel Wheeler; second, 16 September 1703, Mr. Hugh Nesbitt; and third, 20 November 1712, Mr. Edward Poisson, all merchants, with whom she had no children."
