Biography

Parentage; Date and Place of Birth

Elizabeth Percival, daughter of James Percival and Mary (Rainsford) Percival, was born on September 10, 1675 in Sandwich, Plymouth Colony.[1][2][3]

Early Life

Sometime after 1677 (when James Percival was Constable of Sandwich) but before 1692 (when he made his will in Saconesset),[4] Elizabeth's family moved from Sandwich to Saconesset (which was later renamed Falmouth).

Elizabeth's father died in 1692[4] and her mother died in 1694.[5] It is unknown who she lived with during the period after their death and before her marriage.

Marriage

Elizabeth married Joseph Ashley of Rochester. They may have been introduced by Samuel Prince, who had witnessed James Percival's will[4] and was also an active member of the Rochester Proprietors,[6] or perhaps one of the many Rochester settlers who had come from Sandwich.[7] Their intentions of marriage were published in Falmouth on November 24, 1703,[8][9] and their marriage was recorded in Falmouth records as having taken place on August 25, 1704.[10][11]

Children

Elizabeth and Joseph settled in Rochester and had seven children, all of whom were born there:
