Elizabeth Ridley was born on 13 May 1678 in Eastham, Massachusetts (Barnstable). She died after 29 April 1736 at the age of 57. Name also spelled Elizebeth (Snow MA8). According to "Pioneers of Massachusetts," by Charles Pope, a servant named Richard Ridley came at age 16 with Martin Sanders, a currier, in the "Planter" on 16 Apr 1635. Sanders settled at Braintree, presumably with his servant. Perhaps Richard Ridley was an ancestor of Elizabeth.
