=============================================================

In case you were wondering how Elizabeth could be born in VA when both of her parents were born and died in England? From her mother's profile: She (Isabel Page) came to Virginia with her brother Sir Francis Wyatt, who arrived as the new governor of the colony a few weeks before the massacre of 1622. She married Francis Page ca 1622 in Virginia. Some of their children were born in Virginia and some in England, so apparently they traveled between the colony and England regularly.
