1624 - Aft 1692 (~ 68 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Elizabeth FREEMAN was christened on 11 Apr 1624 in Parish of Billingshurst, co. Sussex, England; died after 24 June 1692. Notes:
Name:
Elizabeth (Freeman) Ellis was baptized in the parish of Billingshurst, co. Sussex, England, 11 April 1624, the fourth of the six children of Edmond and Bennet (Hodsoll) Freeman. She died probably in Rochester after 24 June 1692 - we suspect that the actual date of her death may have been not long before 20 April 1714, when her son William Ellis recorded a number of deeds bearing various dates, which suggests the probability that they were recorded in connection with the settlement of his mother's estate. She evidently died intestate, having already distributed her property among her children. There is no probate of her estate.
She must have possessed great strength of character as well as a good physical constitution. At the time of her husband's death she was fifty-three years old. Her three daughters and probably the eldest son Mordecai were then already married, as we believe. The five surviving unmarried sons ranged in age from about twelve to twenty. Perhaps all but the youngest were apprenticed and did not live at home. It may well be that she went to keep house for her father since her stepmother had died in the previous year. In any case, with the help of her eldest son, she promptly assumed responsibility for the administration of her late stepson's (?) estate.
