Note on Wife: Elizabeth BOXER - shared note
1. The IGI has 3 candidates for Elizabeth Boxer born in Folkestone :
a) Christened May 1 1726. Parents Jacob + Mary
b) Christened March 19, 1726-7. Parents Ric + Mgt.
c) Christened August 22, 1731. Parents John + Sarah.
Of these (c) is a bit young really and seems to be accounted for by the Eliz Boxer aged 24 who married Wm Miller in 1756 (age taken from marriage licences). (b) may have died young since Ric + Mgt may have had another daughter Elizabeth in 1736 (but this is not certain, since this would have been their 20th child, with the first born in 1711 !). (It would be nice if (b) were the answer since she would then be the sister of the Sussana Boxer who married Thomas Spearpoint.)
I think that (a) must tbe favourite if we look at childrens' names. Thomas Pettit and Elizabeth Boxer named there first four children William, Elizabeth, Jacob and Mary. This would fit a perfect pattern of his parents' names, followed by her parents' names. Unfortunately, if these are the parents of Elizabeth Boxer the trail then goes cold. There is no IGI record of either the birth or marriage of Jacob Boxer - all we know is that they appear to have had a total of 10 children over the period 1720 - 1737.
