Notes:

BIRTH: No birth rec found. Elizabeth is identified as the 12-yr-old dau of George Bunker of Topfield, deceased, in his inv of estate, 29 May 1658 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:267-68 [FHL #974.45 P2p]).
MAR: No mar rec found. Thomas Look's wife Elizabeth consented to a deed of gift to son Samuel, 7 Aug 1718 (Dukes Co. Deeds, 3:338-39 [FHL #911712]). On 22 Dec 1681 Thomas Look of Nantucket acknowledged receipt of land he received from his "father-in-law" Richard Swain (Nantucket Co. Deeds, 1:2:56 [FHL #906232]). Richard Swain had no dau Elizabeth, but Richard married Jane, widow of George Bunker, of Topsfield in 1658, whose eldest dau was Elizabeth. Hence, it appears that Thomas Look married Elizabeth, dau of George Bunker and stepdaughter of Richard Swain.
DEATH: No death rec found. Elizabeth is not mentioned in the will of her husband Thomas Look of Tisbury, 4 Dec 1725, proved 1st Tuesday of Jan 1725/6, Dukes Co. Probate, 2:3-5 (FHL #911747).

Some researchers identify her with an Elizabeth Godfrey who married a George Bunker at Maulden, Beds, 5 May 1644. See Henry L. Bunker, BUNKER FAMILY HISTORY (Bunker Family Association, 1984), 80 (FHL #929.273 B884b). The leap from Elizabeth to Jane is not explained, however.
