Notes

Wife of Timothy Ide of Rehoboth: “Elizabeth and Timothy Ide, Oct. 20, 1687” (Rehoboth VR p. 110).

The only Elizabeth Cooper of suitable age in the Rehoboth births is “Elizabeth, Aug. 8, 1662,” listed among the children of Thomas Cooper Jr. of Rehoboth: Mary 1658, Thomas 1660, Elizabeth 1662, Deborah 1664, Sary 1666, Samuell 1669, Rachall 1671 and Judeth 1673. She would have been 25 at the marriage. A widow “in 83d year” in Feb 1744/5 was born in 1662, which matches her and supports the identification (inference). It is not proved: no record names Timothy Ide’s bride as Thomas Cooper’s daughter.

She is Unrelated to Elizabeth, the second wife of Jonathan Fairchild of East Jewett, New York (married about 1787), whom Plume’s manuscript calls Elizabeth Cooper; she lived a century earlier.
