Disputed Name, Evidence points to Bourne

Elizabeth is often mistakenly called "Elizabeth Curtis,"[1] but Anderson, Jacobus, and Lemuel Welles all agree that John Welles, Sr's only marriage was to Elizabeth Bourne.[2][3][4]

Anderson makes note of Elizabeth's maiden name with this quotation from the record:

on 6 November 1677, in the distribution of the estate of Ellen (_____) Bostwick, the court took notice of a claim against the estate by "Mrs. Elizabeth Wilkinson sometime Elizabeth Bourne next of kin with her children to the deceased and the said Elizabeth was by Mr. Tomlin[son] & the deceased brought from her friends with an engagement to give her child's portion" [Stratford PD, Case #903 and FOOF 1:91].[2]

Hollister Family of America:

"Mary [Hollister] daughter of Lieut. John Hollister, the settler, and Joanna Treat, was born in Wethersfield. She married John Welles, son of John Welles and Elizabeth Curtis, and grandson of Gov. Thomas Welles. John Welles, Jr., was born in Stratford, Conn., in 1648, and died March 24, 1714"

Some sources list as Elizabeth Curtis/Bourne. Potential that Curtis or Bourne is a married name preceding or superceding.
