Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Walley-13

Elizabeth is mentioned in Gustavus A. Hinckley's transcription of Barnstable Town Records.[1][2] "Thomas, the other son of Rev. Mr. Walley was a merchant in Barnstable and prominent citizen. He married Hannah Bacon of Nath(1) Bacon Esq and had Thomas who died without issue; Hannah, who married first William Stone 1868 and second James Leonard; and Elizabeth who married Edward Adams 1692."

The date and place of her marriage is given as 19 May 1692 at Bristol, Rhode Island[3] as documented by William Montgomery Clemens in American Marriage Records Before 1699.[4][5]
