Biography

Elizabeth Miller was born February 18, 1688/9, the daughter of John and Mercy Miller of Marlborough, Massachusetts[1] [2]

On July 7, 1709, she married Nathan Delano, the son of Jonathan and Mercy (Warren) Delano of Dartmouth, Mass[3] [4] [1]

Their children included:

Meribah, born September 11, 1709[1] [5], who married Constant Dexter[6]
This profile shows Elizabeth (Miller) Delano died before her father-in-law Jonathan prepared his will, on December 17, 1720, as her daughter Meribah is named in the will, but her parents are not.[5].

The reference to South Africa isn't supported in any sources, however there is no information about her death in these sources. Would she go to South Africa and leave her 11-year-old daughter in Massachusetts?
