notes

Coddington, John Insley, "Francis Dowse of Boston and his Ten Daughters", in Coddington, John Insley. Francis Dowse of Boston and his Ten Daughters. American Genealogist (D.L. Jacobus). (Jul 1969), 29:164-66.

… probably b. 15 July 1662. The Boston Town Record reads: "Elizabeth of Francis and Katherine Douse, born 20 day 6 month" (meaning August). But the more accurate First Church record reads: Elizabeth of Francis Dowse, aged about 2 days (baptized) 17 day 5 mo. (July). It is believed, therefore, that Elizabeth Dowse was b. 15 July and bapt. 17 July 1642. … Elizabeth (Dowse) Miles evidently died, possibly at New Haven, although her death is not recorded there, between 29 Jan. 1663/4, when her son John was born, and 9 Apr. 1667, when her husband married again.
