DEATH

Her death is listed under "Lilley".

|
NAME DEBATE
|
Her identity as Elizabeth PRATT is based on a second Torrey entry for
Adam & Elizabeth which reads:
"HAWKES, Gershom (Adam HAWKES) & Elizabeth [PRATT]?,
dau Richard; Charlestown (probate of Richard Pratt (ms)
doubtful)".
However, as you can see, this is listed as "doubtful". No other
record survives which identifies her parentage. I have listed her under
"Pratt" strictly for expediency.

|
LEGAL MENTION
|
On 8 April 1695, Elizabeth was appointed guardian to her son, John.
On 2 June 1707, John (being over 14) chose his uncle John Hawkes of
Lynn, Essex co., MA as guardian.

MARRIAGE #1
|
Circa 1689 when Elizabeth was 21, she first married
Adam HAWKES (1664), son of
John HAWKES (1633) and
Sarah CUSHMAN
in Lynn, Essex co., MA. Torrey's entry is:
"Hawks, Adam (-1694) (Gershom HAWKS)".
