Elizabeth Beckwith Doolittle 1738-1820

Note: It is doubtful that Elizabeth Beckwith, daughter of Job Beckwith, married Abraham Doolittle. Abraham Doolittle married an Elizabeth Beckwith of Lyme on 16 March 1780. Elizabeth Beckwith, daughter of Job Beckwith received a distribution of land from her father''s estate on 28 August 1782. She was only entitled to that distribution if she was not married. In addition, she is identified in the distribution simply as daugher Elizabeth where her sisters are identified with thier married surnames.
