  3. The source for this date was originally One World Tree (no specific entry identified) which carries zero credibility. Wheeler says Elizabeth was the daughter of Benjamin Bailey and Deborah Howe. Wheeler is not very reliable, but the History of the Town of Berlin by Houghton says Benjamin moved from Marlborough to Berlin in 1722, and there is a Elizabeth Bailey, no parents named, bp. in Marlborough 26 Nov 1721, that seems likely to be the one in question?
