Actually, this generation is a little more complicated than shown here.
Notice the birthdate of Elizabeth Stoughton is 1692 and her marriage date is
1698 - not very likely. Elizabeth Stoughton was actually Sgt. John's second
wife. His first wife, also an Elizabeth, he married in about 1698. They
had five children: John, Elizabeth, William (my ancestor), Eleazer, and
Ebenezer. Elizabeth #1 died and then John married Elizabeth Stoughton in
about 1722 and they had more children: Deliverance and possibly two more
children.
Good news for descendants of the children from Elizabeth Stoughton - she's
descended from a lot of the European royal families - going back to
Charlemange.
I had a happy few months thinking I was of royal descent until I did more
research and found out she was my ancestor's stepmother!
Linda,
This is news to me. I knew that Elizabeth (Stoughton) Mathers/Cady had a
previous marriage.......but this is the first that I have heard of a 2nd marriage
for Sgt. John. I know there are errors that say Elizabeth's maiden name was
Green.
Warm regards,
