Elizabeth Andrews

from https://minerdescent.com/2010/07/06/robert-andrews/

Elizabeth [__?__] was probably a widow with a young daughter Elizabeth when she married Robert. When Robert’s bachelor son Thomas died without a will in 1683, most of his nephews and nieces inherited by intestacy, but [our ancestor] Elizabeth ANDREWS Griffin Sherrat’s children were not included. Moreover, the court ordered distribution of the estate of Thomas Andrews to the children of his “only brother,” and to “the children now living who descended from the two sisters” [EQC 9:120].

It is, therefore, clear that Elizabeth was not a sibling of the whole blood to the rest. The question then is whether she was a daughter of Robert Andrews from a previous marriage, or a daughter of Elizabeth, wife of Robert Andrews, from a previous marriage. Because Robert Andrews did not name Elizabeth in his will, though she was still living, and because her mother and her husband were in court later for calling each other names, and because her children are not named as heirs to Thomas Andrews’s estate, we conclude that Elizabeth was more likely a daughter of Elizabeth [__?__] Andrews from a previous marriage than she was a daughter of Robert Andrews himself.

Elizabeth died in 1643 in Ipswich, Mass [SIC: after 31 (1) 1647]
