• Notes

  Elizabeth's last name is uncertain. It has been conjectured by some researchers to be Meere's as that is the surname of the man who took in Thomas's children when his wife died. However, since Mr. Meeres referred to her as his orphant girl and because Thomas Meeres and family were already living in Lower Norfolk Co., VA by 1640, Meeres' daughter would have been living in VA and MD for at least ten years before she emigrated with her husband in 1650. Obviously, she can't have been the daughter of Thomas Meeres. (C-2751) She and her husband Thomas Underwood are a DNA cousin match via myself and W.H. (earlhumphrey_1) at Ancestry.com.
