Elizabeth Beaufort

Parents unknown. Wife of John Beaufort.

Disputed Origins

From http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~parrott/genealogy/

• Judge Richard Parrott, Sr. did not have a wife or daughter Elizabeth.
• First wife reported to be Elizabeth Thompson, no proof. This wife is ficticious.
• 1645: Birth of daughter Elizabeth, from wife Elizabeth Thompson. She married John Buford/Blewford on 11 April 1662. Subsequent research has shown this Elizabeth was not Richard's daughter.
• NOTE: Daughter Elizabeth is never mentioned in any document of Richard's or of his wives'. Hence, there is no evidence to support the existence of a first wife, Elizabeth, or of a daughter, Elizabeth.
