(Hanks), Elizabeth
- Born: Abt 1627, Glouchester, Virginia
Marriage Information:
Elizabeth married Thomas Hanks, son of Thomas Hanks and Grace (Hanks). (Thomas Hanks was born in 1600 in Glouchester, Virginia.)
Marriage Notes:
There is no direct evidence that these men were sons of Thomas Hanks but, from the fact, he is the only one of record then, in that area, who could have been their father; from proximity; from possibility and probability, they aare so presumed. William, being an owner of land without record or purchase, is presumed to have been the eldest son and acquired the land by inheritance according to the then law of primogeniture. When his estate was later probated in Richmond County, the inventory listed certain assets"from across the river" which meant south of the Rappahannock. The face he had property in that area tends to confirm whence he came. For a more complete discussion see Barton"s "Lineage of Lincoln".
