Research note on Elizabeth Pierce Rolfe:1086

There is proof that John Rolfe and his third wife, Jane Pierce, had a daughter named Elizabeth. However, to date, the last documentation of her life seems to be in the January 1625 Muster when she appears as age 4 with her mother and step-father, Captian Roger Smith. The only reference to Elizabeth Rofle growing to adulthood and becoming the wife of John Milner is in a chart prepared by Coleman Price, 1940, on file at the Virginia State Library. There is no documentation to confirm this.

In the article "Progenitors and Kinfolk of Abraham Childers, III" in the Virginia Genealogist, Vol 34, page 11, there is a notation.....'Elizabeth Rolfe, whose parents were John Rolfe and his third wife Jane Pierce. This cannot be proved owing to the loss of the early Henrico County, Virginia records.'

So we just do not really know if this is the right person or not. It is based on the Family Group Sheet prepared as stated above.
