Elizabeth was born in Charlestown, MA where her father was a blacksmith. Her marriage to Gershom Rice is recorded in Groton/New London, CT records.
Elizabeth was reportedly buried in Worcester Commons Cemetery, and her remains are likely one of the unknowns transferred to Hope when the original remains were reinterred here. She was the mother of at least one son & three daughters, Gershom, Elizabeth and Ruth. She adopted two Royce orphans from CT that she raised as her own, Abishai & Matthias--DNA studies confirm this.
