Phebe Snead / Morris

The naming of Phebe (daughter of Elias and Susannah) in this will, written in Feb of 1676 or 1677, indicates that she was not yet 17 years old, which places her birthdate after 1660. Since Susannah and Elias apparently did not marry until the late 1660s (Susanna was apparently first married to Angelo Jacobus), that would place Phebe's birthdate even later.
