  Marriage Information:

Elizabeth married William Tregidgwan between 1600 and 1610. (William Tregidgwan was born about 1580 and died between 16 Apr 1630 and 22 Jul 1630 in Veryan, Cornwall.)

  Marriage Information:

Elizabeth also married Francis Stephen after 1630.

  Marriage Notes:

Elizabeth Stephen made a bequest to Francis Stephen in her will without indicating the relationship. Elizabeth's will does not state that she was a widow; this coupled with the fact that, though she does not name him, she forgave her husband his debts to her, means he was living when Elizabeth Stephen wrote her will. It seems likely that the unidentified Francis Stephen and her unnamed husband were one and the same person.
