Elizabeth was referred as “kinswomen Elizabeth Hawks of Hadley” in Nathaniel Ward’s will. Nathaniel was the son of Edward Ward of Little Wrathing, Suffolk. Edward's will of 9 Jan 1620 names his wife Judith, kids Nathaniel, Edward, Lydia, Mary, Rebecca, and Susan. Susan was the widow of Robert Browne. Her 22 Mar 1626 will refers to her mother Judith, sisters Rebecca Ward and Mary Cutting and “Elizabeth Browne, daughter of my brother-in-law William Browne” The missing sister here is Lydia, who married William.

After John’s death, Elizabeth remarried Robert Hinsdale, but it didn’t work out and she soon moved home. They were cited for living apart and there was a court dispute over the matter that was not yet resolved by his death in 1675. [627]
