[She was named Elizabeth Stevens in several deeds and later Elizabeth Bligh. Only two men in Boston had a wife named Stevens: Nicholas and Erasmus Stevens. Erasmus left several heirs with his wife Elizabeth and as the above deed makes clear she left no heirs and therefore could not be wife of Erasmus Stevens. She had one daughter recorded with Nicholas in 1669 and Nicholas died in 1670 per Suffolk Probate; She married second Abraham Bligh/Blish who surived her].
