Many thanks, Karen, for the confirmation in vol. 6. Thanks also to Merry and the Ferret for the additional sources. I believe Ferret's guess that Wood, in his Cooke book, saw Thomas's name as Elizabeth's father then accidentally carried that over as her husband's name. His book is generally very accurate and well documented (he did give the correct source for the name, just didn't get the name right.)

Who was Elizabeth's first husband? Wood's "Francis Cooke of the Mayflower, The First Five Generations", p. 46, says she was Thomas Shurtleff's widow. Anderson's "The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633", p. 470, says she was first married to William Shurtleff. Which one is correct? Both references cite the "silver book", vol. 6, p. 13, as their source, so one of them has made a transcription error. A quick lookup in the silver book would be much appreciated.
