Notes

• According to The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Nathaniel Hancock had 2 daughters named Elizabeth; the first lived from 1677 to 1678, while the other was born in 1686.
• There is no evidence that Elizabeth's middle name was Prentiss/Prentice, as has been claimed elsewhere.
