Individual Notes

She died in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York, before 26 September 1692, the date her heirs signed an agreement accepting the division of her property.
Proof of Elizabeth’s parentage is found in the probate records of her parents.

Her mother, Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland, also named her as Elizabeth Dickinson and gave her one pair of sheets, one pair of pillowbeeres and a chest.884, p 13
