From what I can piece together from various on line sources:
Elizabeth Elliot appears to have been born on the North Shore, in Marblehead or Beverly. She was married first to Andrew Diamond (sp?) June 24 or 30, 1705 in Marblehead. It was his second marriage, his first being to a Joan Grant (see actual page 27 of book) He died in Smuttinose Isle ME in Apr. 1707.
Elizabeth then married Theophilus Cotton of Plymouth MA. He was born May 5, 1682, the son of Rev. John and Joanna Cotton. They were married in Ipswich MA Feb 5, 1708. They may have had two daughters, Ann 1709, and Lydia, 1710 but I can find no confirmation of this.
According to her headstone, Elizabeth died from a fall from her horse Oct. 31, 1710, but other sources say she died on the 10th or the 13th of October. I am also unsure where she died, or how she ended up being buried in the North Weymouth Cemetery. Perhaps her husband was ministering at the First Church in Weymouth at the time of her demise? But that is speculation.
Theophilus would go on to marry again, a Mary Gedney, on Aug. 16, 1711 in Cambridge MA, and later would move to Hampton NH where he died in 1726.

Cotton bequeathed in 1726 a beaker to the
church at Hampton Falls, New Hampshire.
He married in 1708 Elizabeth Elliott of
Marblehead, widow of Andrew Diamond a
prosperous merchant of Ipswich in Massa-
chusetts, after whom the "Diamond Stage," a
well-known wharf at the mouth of the Ipswich
River, was named. The beaker came into the
possession of Theophilus Cotton upon the
death of his wife in 1710; that it had belonged
to Andrew Diamond and a former wife is
proved by the initials A -r. Who was she ? As
he was born in 1641 it is only reasonable to
suppose that he had been married prior to
1705, the date of his marriage to Elizabeth
(Elliott) Diamond. Many clews may be found
in the initials on vessels described in "The
Old Silver of American Churches."
And coincidentally enough.. From the Boston Globe, Jan. 17, 2015
"A previously unrecorded Dummer piece from another consignor is the circa 1690 silver serving plate with the silversmith’s mark and the original monogram of AJ over D for Andrew Diamond (circa 1640-1707) , an English-born Ipswich merchant, and his wife, Joan Grant Diamond. The estimate is $250,000-$350,000, "
