Note: 'Ralph. Thomas....His first wife, from whom he was divorced, was Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac Desborough or Disborough of Elseworth, co. Cambridge, gent., whose will dated 6 Dec. 1660 was proved 21 Dec. 1660 (P.C.C. Nabbs 264). After her divorce from Ralph she married John Johnson of Guilford, Conn., and is named as 'Elizabeth Johnson' in her father's will. Isaac Disborough was evidently a close relative of John Disborough, Oliver's Major General, and of Samuel Disborough the early settler of Guilford, Conn., who returned to England and was M.P. for Edinburgh (1656) and Mid Lothian in Oliver's Parliaments, and Chancellor of Scotland under Oliver and Richard Cromwell. Samuel died on 10 Dec. 1690 at the family manor of Elseworth, Cambs., which he purchased in 1656. It eventually descended tohis granddaughter, who married Matthew Holworthy, Esq. (New England Historical & Genealogical Register, Vol. 41, pp. 353-364).'
