! info from Underhill Genealogy pg 52. born Jan 21 1609/10, Groton, Suffolk, died ca 1668 probably atHallett's Cove, Newton, L.I., N.Y. married first Henry Winthrop, secondRobert Feake, and third William Hallett. Elizabeth was born at her grandfather Winthrop's manor house,andgrew up very close to her mother's family. Only ten days afterher father's death she married first cousin Jenry Winthrop, a dashing young man justreturned from Barbados, who the next year sailed to Massachusetts to join hisfather, Capt, John Winthrop, only to drown while trying to swim in the CharlesRiver, on the day of his arrival. Thus Elizabeth arrived at Boston Nov 2,1631, aboard the Lyon, she was already a widow, with a babe in arms. (The Lyonwhich also brought the Governor's wife, Mrs. Margaret Winthrop, was greetedon arrival by Capt. John Underhill and his militia_. Elizabeth was soon married to Robert Feake, and their historyfor the next fifteen years has been recorded, see Robert Feake. The storyof the dissolution of Elizabeth's marriage to Feake, and her subsequantmarriage to Hallett, has facinated many historians and genealogists. Thereis a wealth of promary data available, though certain key facts have alwaysremained obscure. For an excellent analysis see McCracken, op. cit., Vol.86, pp214-20. Whatever transpired in 1648 Elizabeth bore Hallett a son. They wereforced to leave Connecticut, but with help from John Winthrop, Jr. they foundrefuge under the Dutch on Long Island, where Elizabeth spent the rest of herdays.
