Elizabeth1 (Morrison), bp. at Great Amwell, Herts., 11 Feb. 1623/4; d. at Roxbury, Mass., 6 Oct. 1673; m. by 15 July 1664 (perhaps earlier) Edward Cartwright of Boston, mariner, who d. ca. 10 Aug. 1671, "miscarried in a boat at sea and supposed to be drowned." She is almost certainly the Elizabeth Morrison, age 12, who came to New England in 1635, on the Planter as a servant in the family of George Giddings. No issue.
