Elizabeth, maiden name unknown, was wife to Jerathmeel Bowers. There is a rumor on the internet that her maiden name was Wilder, but I have never been able to find anything to substantiate. If you have proof - a primary source of some kind - please contact me - I would love to be wrong!

Her husband outlived her, and so she was not mentioned in his will. See The History of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, p. 529. In her husband's will, which was lodged for probate June 10, 1724, Jerathmeel mentions three sons: Jonathan, Samuel, and Jerathmeel; three daughters: Elizabeth Shed, Hannah Wilson, and Mary Page; as well as grandchildren Jerathmeel Pearce, son of daughter Hannah; Benjamin, son of son Jonathan; and children of son John, deceased.
