Elizabeth Tarne

Children

1. Joshua Royce (1637 – 1676)
2. Nathaniel Royce (1639 – )
3. Patience Royce (1642 – 1642)

Notes

"Savage claimed the Robert Roice of Boston was identical with a man of the same name who appeared in Connectifcut some years later, but since the latter had wife Mary, and the only known wife of the Boston man was Elizabeth, who outlived him, this cannot be true."

Savage:

"TARNE, TERNEY, or TARNEY, ...(9249iii[1][2]%29 MILES, Boston 1638, leather-dresser, had w. Sarah, wh. join our ch. 14 Apr. 1639; but he was not rem. bef. 8 Oct. 1642, and freem. 10 May foll. Of ch. I kn. only Hannah, b. Oct. 1638, bapt, 21 Apr. foll. nam. in the will of Thomas Oliver, Mar. 1652, with beq. of L5; and Deliverance, bapt. 19 Sept. 1641, eight days old, when the town rec. says she was b. 30 of that mo. but that Sarah wh. m. 7 Sept. 1654, Edward Bobbet of Taunton, must have been older, perhaps brot. from Eng. He had 2d w. in Oct. 1668, (9249iii[1]) Elizabeth wh. had been wid. Rice, as I infer from deed of mortg. to trust. of the first ch. by Michael (wh. is the same as Miles) T. and Elizabeth his w. and (9249i_a) Joshua Rice, their s." -- James Savage, op. cit.

Comments

“recent genealogical work has attributed Elizabeth's maiden name to have been Elizabeth Mary Simons, but this is as yet unproven.”
