Elizabeth was widow of Rev. John Oliver, a graduate of Harvard College 1645, first minister of Rumney Marsh (Chelsea) and daughter of John Newgate of Boston.

She was a woman of remarkable energy and usefulness and was long known and looked to as the mother of the village.

She was so in a peculiar sense for she not only left a numerous posterity herself, but was present and assisted at the birth of every child in town for nearly half a century. Forty-four descendants of Edward were in the Revolutionary War from Newton or near that place.
