Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Elizabeth,

William French, in Anderson, Robert Charles; George F. Sanborn; and Melinde Lutz Sanborn. The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635. (NEHGS, 1999-2011), 2:591.
- "Elizabeth (French), b. about 1629 (aged 6 in 1635 (Hotten 99]); married at Dedham 19 Sep 1650 Richard Ellis [DeVR 126]; on 21 Jun 1657, "[blank] the wife of brothre Richard Ellice was received into [Dedham] Church" [DeChR 34]. (The published Cambridge church records call her "Elizabeth now Ellliot & now joined at Dedham" [CaChR 8], presumably an error in transcription of the surname.)"
The Great Migration view is she married only once to Richard Ellis. She would have been age 21 at her first and only marriage. That makes sense. The family association believes she married before that age first to Richard Elliot. The evidence for this is weak and implausible at best:
- Elizabeth French, b. in England ca. 1629, baptized 5 Sep 1630 in Halstead, England at the parish church of St. Andrews [6], but this record could not be found. She immigrated at age 6 [4] with parents, m1. Robert Eliot/Elliot of Dedham [1] prior to Nov 1658 [4] on 19 Sep 1650 [6], m2. Richard Ellis [1] p. 53. Richard Ellis is listed in his father-in-law’s will. Elizabeth died prior to her father’s death of 1681.

(Dedham, Mass.: Town of Dedham, 1886), 25.
- "Elizebeth, wife of Leut. Richard Ellis, deceased July 21, 1697"
Some Internet trees show an Elizabeth Chenery (sometimes Genery) dau of Lambert Chanery as wife of Richard Ellis. This is also not correct.
"Widow Ellis" (We don't know her name) married first to Unknown Ellis in England and had Richard and Joseph Ellis. She married second to Lambert Chenery and had Isaac and John Chenery. So she was mother or Richard Ellis and not his wife and her name is unknown.
