Notes |
- The above birth year for Elizabeth is a crude approximation, based on her oldest known child being born in 1660.
Elizabeth was the daughter of Benjamin Hearnden (or Herrington) and Elizabeth White. Her name appears on no public records, and is inferred from various private sources. There is no marriage record, but she was almost certainly the wife of Stephen Northup, founder of the Northup family in Rhode Island. She and Stephen lived in Providence, Rhode Island until 1666 or later, but were living in the Narragansett country (later Kingstowne) by 1671. Together they had six known children.
Though there is no documentary evidence that she is buried here, it is highly likely that many of the early Northups were interred here, herself included. See discussion in the memorial for her son David.
