Elizabeth Prence was born in the spring of 1647 in Plymouth Colony [Winthrop Papers, Vol. 5, p. 169]. The letter, dated 8 June 1647, shows that Thomas Prence lived in Plymouth Colony when he wrote the letter to Governor John Winthrop to describe his experience almost similar to the trial of Jacob's wife, Rachel's struggle to deliver a child, but Thomas Prence's wife survived the child's birth.

The area where Thomas Prence's home residence was at Jones River in the "North End" of Plymouth had no name until it became Kingston in 1726. He sold "one farme at Joanes River with the house doores locks glasse shelues etc. etc." in March 1645, and he had located a suitable place in Nausett in 1644 in order to build a new house until it is completed in 1646. The sale of 1645 hinted that his new house in Nausett was ready for Thomas Prence's family to move in until it was all built completely in 1646. It could allow a new place and time for his wife to give a birth to Elizabeth Prence in the spring of 1647.

The deed record of 1649 shows that Thomas Prence resided in Nausett in 1649 which was two years after her birth [Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. 12, p. 175]. On 2 June 1646, Nausett had established as a township, but on 7 June 1651, name of the town of Nausett changed to Eastham.

She was born at Nausett [Eastham] in Cape Cod in the spring of 1647.

Her death probably was recorded somewhere on worn pages of the original town records of Marshfield; unfortunately, the record of her death was not preserved due to worn pages. The date of her death was not known; however, she was not mentioned in her husband's will, dated 1721 and proved 1726. She likely died in Marshfield where her husband, Arthur Howland lived and made his will in 1721.

Elizabeth Howland was alive when she witnessed the wedding of her son Prince Howland and Deborah Barker and signed her name along with her husband, Arthur Howland's name on their marriage certificate on 13 February 1706/7 at the Friends meeting house at Duxbury. It infers that she died sometime between 1707 and 1721.

Arthur and Elizabeth Howland lived near the present fairgrounds and their family cemetery, though almost entirely vandalized at this time, lies alongside the outside of the fairgrounds fence [in Marshfield, Massachusetts].
