Background
Biography
Elizabeth Tilley was baptized at St. Mary's Church, Henlow, Bedfordshire, England on 30 Aug 1607, the daughter of John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) Rogers.[1] She came with her parents aboard The Mayflower in the fall of 1620.[2] Her family was part of Gov. Carver's "household" during the first winter. Gov. Carver and Elizabeth's parents died during the first winter and it is believed John Howland (Carver's "servant"/assistant) is assumed to have been chosen as the head of this group.[3] Elizabeth married John Howland circa 1623. It is believed they were the fifth marriage in the new colony (after the marriage of William Bradford on 14 Aug 1623 and before the end of the year [25 Mar 1623/4] as they were presumably a couple for the 1623 Land division).
The family eventually moved to Rocky Nook (now Kingston) where her husband died in Feb 1672/3. Elizabeth is assumed to have lived with her children shortly thereafter (as their home in Rocky Nook was said to have been burnt down shortly after John's death). It is known Elizabeth spent the last years of her life with her daughter, Lydia, and Lydia's husband, James Brown. They lived in "Swansey" (Swansea, now East Providence, RI) where Elizabeth made her will on 17 Dec 1686 and died on 21 Dec 1687.
