She may have been the daughter of Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. Further research needs to be done.
As reported in Clifford L. Stott, The English Ancestry of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers and His Wife Alice (Cosford) Rogers, The Genealogist 10:138-149: "It has been speculated that the daughter Elizabeth came to Plymouth and married Samuel Eddy, since the latter was granted land at Plymouth on 3 June 1662 reserved for "the firstborn children" of the colony or their parents.

Wife of Samuel Eddy. Mother of Zachariah, John, Elizabeth, Samuel, Ebenezer, Caleb, Joshua, and Obediah. Birth year about 1606-1607.

Twice Elizabeth Eddy was summoned to appear before the Court of Plymouth. It is recorded that on "Oct 7, 1651, Wee further present Elizabeth Eeddy, Sen'r of the towne of Plymouth for laboring, that is to say, for wringing and hanging out clothes on the Lord's day, in time of publicke Exercise." She was fined ten shillings, but his fine was remitted. (Court Orders, Vol. II, p.73)".

"Again on May 1, 1660, it is recorded that "Elizabeth Eddey was summoned to this court, and appeared, to make answare for her traveling on the Lord's day from Plymouth to Boston; and affeirmed that shee was nessesitated to goe on that day, in regard that Mistris Saffin was very weake and sent for her, with an earnest desire to see her, in her weakness with some other pleaes of like nature. The Court considering some cercomstances in her answare, although they saw not sufficient excuse for her act therein, saw cause to admonish her and soe shee was discharged of the Court". (Court Orders, Vol. III, p. 186)"

Excerpt from "The Eddy Family in America", 1930
Elizabeth Savory was believed to be the daughter of Thomas and Mary Woororke Savory. Marriage records say Savory. (see New England, The Great Migration, bio of Samuel Eddy which does not give Elizabeth last names, but states on page 616 that Samuel Eddy was called brother-in-law on the second deed."

Note: According to the 1881 250th reunion book of the Eddy family she was called to court for walking to Boston on the Sabbath and another time for doing the washing of clothes on Sunday. She did the work because someone had been sick. She was 82 yrs old when she died.

This is my direct ancestor which I have documented through Colonial Dames of the 17th Century.
Savory is also linked to Severy and Severit. The name gets spelled differently depending on the region. Savory is usually found in the New England area. Severy or Sevrey shows up as you go further west. This explanation is found in the North American Family Histories 1500-2000; Thomas Savory-Pilgrim.
