About Elizabeth Witt

*You should check out Find A Grave no. 144580869 It says she was born in Normandy, France in 1684 and her name was Elizabeth Mildred Daux. I know they are the same people and she married William Guillaume Witt, Christian name likely John, because Charles C. Witt is the same as mine with the same wife.

John married Elizabeth in Va.. Elizabeth was born about 1695.

Notes

  • John Witt’s wife is unidentified. His wife Elizabeth was alive in 1751 but she appears in no record thereafter. The fact that she used “P” as her mark leads to speculation that her maiden name might have begun with that letter (unless it was the Latin “R”). A favored candidate of some researchers is Humphrey Parrish, who signed with a “HP” mark, but there is no persuasive evidence of her maiden name.
