Biography

Disputed Origins

Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry Rice and Elizabeth (Frost) Whale. She was the adopted daughter of Elizabeth'S second husband Philemon Whale.

Many genealogical studies of John(1) Moore and his family claim that his last wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Philemon1 Whale of Sudbury, who calls her his daughter in his will. Many have taken this to mean that she was Elizabeth, bapt 31 Jan 1593 to Philemon Whale in Checkney, Essex England.[1]

Robert Charles Anderson[2] has argued that she was actually a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Frost) Rice of Stanstead, co. Suffolk, England, and a stepdaughter of Philemon Whale, who married Henry Rice's widow. Philemon Whale did not marry Elizabeth Frost (widow of Henry Rice) until 1621, had their first child (dau Sarah) in 1622; a subsequent birth of Elizabeth would too late to parent the Elizabeth who marries in 1639.

Then to really confirm this, "...a microfilm of a transcript of the Bishop's Transcripts for Little Gaddesden was checked (FHL #1040857, item 3)... under the date of 27 Nov 1633, we find the marriage of 'Johannes More & Elizabetha Rice." ... There can be no doubt that this is the marriage of the immigrants to Sudbury, Mass.[3]
