Terry & Nancy's Ancestors
Elizabeth Mountague1,2,3
ID# 1851, (abt 1636 - 1708)
- Born: abt 1636 in Nansemond Co., Virginia.1,6
- Married First: Doodes Minor in 1668.7,8,6
- Married Second: Maurice Cocke aft 1694.9,4,2
- Married Third: James Blaise abt Apr 1699.2,10,6,8,9
- Died: in 1708 in Middlesex Co., Virginia.11,2
- Note: Several older genealogies show Elizabeth as the daughter of Maurice Cocke, or in some, his father Nicholas. This error continues to be shown in many current sources, especially on the Internet, despite having been disproved over a century ago. That Maurice was Elizabeth's second husband is well documented.
More recently, the immigrant Peter Mountague has been shown as her father, as I do here. There is considerable evidence suggestive of this, but none that I have seen that is conclusive. So I consider this link as the "most likely" candidate. I would be happy to correspond with others interested in examining the accuracy of this or any alternate claim.
