Person:Elizabeth Unknown (5830)

Unknown Identity

In 2012, an Ahnentafel was published that stated Elizabeth's maiden name was Stone and that she was the daughter of a couple who were approximately the same age as her^[1]. No sources are given. Other journal articles from approximately the same time^[2][3] show no awareness of the discovery of Elizabeth's maiden name, suggesting that there is no basis for believing she was a Stone.

   32(2012):131.

   This list of ancestors includes:
   184 Mordecai Larcom c1629-1715 Isle of Wight; Beverly, MA
   185 Elizabeth Stone c1640-c1718 Salem & Beverly, MA
   370 Nathaniel Stone c1631-1718 Salem & Beverly, MA
   371 Remember Corning c1639- Salem & Beverly, MA
   
   implying that the maiden name of Mordecai's wife was Stone and that she was the daughter of a couple who were essentially her contemporaries. This is clearly incorrect, and no sources are given to explain how Elizabeth's maiden name was determined.
