Notes for Eleanor (Spouse 1)
At about 46, Alexander died, leaving Ellinor with two small children-- her son Lazerus and stepson Alexander. She inherited a third of her husband's property and the rest was divided among all his children. Oldest boy Thomas had been appointed Executor of Alexander's will. Ellinor married twice more, probably by necessity in those difficult colonial times when the area was little more than virgin forest. A few months after Alexander's death, Ellinor married neighbor William Bosman, a recent widower with five of his own children. The larger family moved to Somerset County Md with her son Lazarus and her stepson Alexander, who was about nine at the time. Elinor was not blessed with husbands of longivity. After Mr. Bosman died, she married James Cain (Caan) of Somerset Md and he too became ill and died in only three years, 1670, leaving Ellinor a widow with children once again. She died in 1692.
