Biography

According to the attached R.D. Wheeler work on the ancestry of Thomas Halsey of Southampton, Long Island, Ellen was born about 1559, daughter of John Alley alias Cooke and Isabel (last name not certain). No record of her burial or re-marriage has actually been found. It is likely that she moved to the area of Cranfield where 3 of her children (Robert, Ann and Thomas) married Wheelers from 2 different families.
The sources originally cited on this profile seem to be unsourced trees on ancestry.com. No primary source for a burial or death has been found including a supposed 1620 death in Fairfield, CT or elsewhere. The only thing known with certainty is that she was mentioned in her husband's will written 3 Apr 1610 in Hertfordshire.
