  • Notes: 

  • There are two entries for Elizabeth's grave at Findagrave.com for West Tisbury Village Cemetery and Chilmark Cemetery. The photo of the gravestone in the Chilmark entry is an altered copy of the photo from the West Tisbury entry. Since the original photo is attached to the West Tisbury entry, that is what we have used for the location of her grave.

    Some sources list Elizabeth's maiden name as Perkins. This is believed to be incorrect.
