Chamberlain in his "History of Weymouth" said she was the dau. of Samuel and Mehitable (Goodwin) Andrews of Milton (the parent town of which was Dorchester). She died at Weymouth 10 Dec 1795, aet. 90 (confirmed by Town record.) I do not find her parents listed in Town records of Dorchester, Milton, Boston, etc. Internet sources indicate she was the dau. of Samuel and Mehitable (Trott) Andrews. In this couples' intentions filed at Stoughton 4 Feb 1727, he was of Stoughton, and she of Milton. Their dau. Elizabeth was b. 23 Oct. 1739 in Stoughton. The marriage and birth are confirmed by Town records. There are three major problems with this identification as the wife of John Nash Jr. as I see it. The first is that she would have been 34 years younger than the reported 90 years of age when she died. Secondly, her mother was not a Goodwin. And thirdly, she would have been 34 years the junior of her husband. An alternative identification of Elizabeth Andrews also exists, in the form of a Town record of her birth at Dorchester on 19 Feb. 1707/8, the dau. of a Joseph Andrews. This Elizabeth has three things in her favor. First is her age, her birth being appropriate to her husband. Secondly, her age at death nearly matches Chamberlain's and Town figures. Lastly, Dorchester, her place of birth, was the parent town of Milton. Against her being the correct Elizabeth is the fact her parents are not those cited by Chamberlain. I am not aware of any source material which clarifies her identity. Has anyone an authoritative source for her identity?
