I found a note about Elizabeth from court records. In 1672, her brother-in-law, John Smith kept making advances toward Elizabeth. She told some town gossips what must have been an embellished version of events. As the gossip spread through town, John Smith sued Elizabeth. Both of them were hauled before a magistrate for "uncivil carriages." Smith lost the suit and was sentenced to be whipped and had to stay in the gaol until the sentence was carried out or pay a 40 shilling fine. The whipping was canceled when Elizabeth admitted that she was "heartily sorry for her foolish words."

*** Zachariah and Elizabeth are also ancestors of US President William Howard Taft!
