Notes
General:
From 1874 NEHGR genealogical chart.
"Prob daughter of Richard Ferian, vicar of Nazing, as no other. "Elizabeth " occurs in the parish register under that year - Elizabeth Ferian bapt Oct 3, 1605. This however is merely a supposition."
But in "Abstracts of English Wills", NEHGR, Jul 1900, p 344, is a different theory.
"Robert Sibthorp, Widford, County Hartford, Yeoman. Will 29 September, 1645; proved 27 Jan 1645-6. To be buried in chancell of Widford Church. To edlest daughter Joane Sibthrope, 2nd daughter Marie Sibthorpe, and youngest daughter Elizabeth Sibthorpe 100 pounds each et.: if they die, to brother Christopher Sibthorpe fo Widford, who is thave reudal in sale of lease, etc. (Hartford seems to be Hertford, mispelled). Executors: Edward Brett the elder of Great Haddam and Christopher Sibthorpe aforesaid Yeoman. Supervisors: Sr. HEnry Fish of Hunsden, gent., in said Hartfordshire, and Kellam White of London, Gent.
"The apostle Eliot was born in Widford, a was his brother Philip. Philip married Elizabeth Sibthorp, daughter of Robert of Little Hallingbury and perhaps sister o cousin of this Robert. I have the will fo Elizabeth's grandfather, and he had a prolific array of sons and grandsons. I imagine eccentric and violent anti-Puritan Robert Sibthorp, vicar of St. Sepulchers, Nortahmpton, was one of Elizabeth's cousins. A lot of the Rev. Robert's rebellious parishioners came to New England, including the witchraft martyr, Giles Corey of Salem. "
From Great Migration Begins:
20 October 1624 (lic.) Elizabeth Sybthorpe, daughter of Robert Sybthorpe of Little Hallingbury, Essex ("Philip Eliot of Nasing, Essex, husbandman, a bachelor aged about 22, and Elizabeth Sybthorpe of Little Hallingbury in Co. Essex, maiden, about 23, daughter of Robert Sybthorpe, deceased; then appeared William Curtis of Nasing aforesaid, husbandman, and testified the consent of Anne Sybthorpe, widow, mother to the said Elizabeth; at Nasing or Little Hallingbury" [EIHC 28:101]). She died at Dedham 8 January 1660/1 (as "widow Elliott") [DeVR 8].
I gather that the name Ferian was inserted into her name on the theory that she must be Elizabeth Ferian because no other Elizabeth was born in Nazeing at the right time. This theory appears to include no notion on how Elizabeth Ferian became Sybthorpe by the time she married Philip Eliot.
