    "In her will, dated 23 July 1677 and proved [blank] November 1677, 'Elisabeth Rose of Newhaven widow' bequeathed to 'my two sons John Potter & Sam[ue]ll Potter twenty shillings apiece'; to 'my son John Parker my house he lives in with all my land & meadow'; to 'my daughter Brookes twenty shillings'; to 'my daughter Hall my small Bible'; to 'my daughter Cooke my best suit of apparel'; to 'all my grandchildren twelve pence apiece'; residue to be 'equally divided between my three daughters Mary, Hope & Lydia'; 'my two sons John Potter & John Parker [to be] joint executors' [NHPR 1:1:176]. The inventory of the estate of 'Elizabeth Rose widow late of Newhaven deceased,' taken 2 August 1677, totalled £49 11s. 9d., with no real estate included [NHPR 1:1:1761."

  3. As late as 2009 (publication of Vol. VI of The Great Migration), the identification of this woman as Elizabeth Wood has apparently not been proven. The baptism of her first husband at Lewes, Sussex, makes a Chesham, Bucks origin for her unlikely.
