| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Elizabeth is identified in the agreement of heirs of her father, Thomas Rowlandson of Lancaster, 10 Sep 1658 (Alice E. Busiel, ed, Middlesex Co. Court Papers, box 1659-60, in Middlesex Co. Probate, Miscellaneous Records [transcript, 1917], 340-41 [FHL #385974]). See discussion below under marriage. Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR #1: No mar rec found. Agreement of heirs, above, shows that Richard Wells was one of the heirs of Thomas Rowlandson in 1658. On 20 Jun 1681, John Harris quitclaimed his interest in the estate of "Deacon [Richard] Wells," which he received by his marriage to widow Elizabeth Wells, to Joseph Rowlandson, son of the late Joseph Rowlandson (Old Norfolk Co. Deeds, 3:2:310 [FHL #873022]). The elder Joseph is a proved son of Thomas Rowlandson. On 10 Jan 1683/4 Joseph Rowlandson of Lancaster sold to Samuel Clough of Salisbury, 20 acres of land in Amesbury, which he received by the will of his aunt Elizabeth Wells, which land formerly belonged to his uncle Richard Wells (Ibid, 3:2:318). Hence, Elizabeth Rowlandson married (1) Richard Wells, (2) John Harris.
MAR #2: VITAL RECORDS OF ROWLEY, 2 vols. (Salem, MA, 1928-31), 1:308 (FHL #974.45/R1 V28v).
BUR: Ibid, 1:470. The unrecorded will of Elizabeth Wells, 26 Aug 1677, proved 11 Apr 1683 (written before her mar to John Harris) is available at the Essex County Probate Registry, Salem. A summary is provided in Charles Henry Pope, THE PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS (Boston, 1900; repr Baltimore, 1991), 486 (FHL #974.4 D2p).
