Grace Chappell (1552-1604) married a William Spicer (1555-1604) (which I believe cannot be connected to our Spicer family)
Early Colonial Settlers Grace Chappell was born about 1686 but there is NO information about her.
geni has Elizabeth Preston. Elizabeth Preston b1685 also has no information about her. There is one who married a Samuel King in 1706. Elizabeth Preston Parker is said to have died in Massachusetts, but that could just be junk... She might have been born in VA. But her parents lived and died in Massachusetts according to this tree... https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/100452779/person/272162901164/facts |
