Disputed Origins

This is not the profile of Elizabeth Deane, who was a valid daughter of parents William Deane and his wife Elizabeth.

This profile is for the Elizabeth (__) who married Jeremiah Jagger and Robert Usher.

No quality sources have been found to support that Elizabeth Deane is the Elizabeth who married Jeremiah/Jeremy Jagger and Robert Usher. In the Millennium file and online family trees (all lacking quality sources), Elizabeth Deane is shown as marrying Jeremiah Jagger in 1638 in England (however, quality sources place Jagger in New England by 1630, seemingly disqualifying England as the place of marriage). Other unsourced trees show they married 1634 in Stamford, Connecticut. Torrey reports that Elizabeth (___) married Jeremy Jagger by 1646 in Wethersfield or Stamford, Connecticut.[1] As Widow Jagger, Elizabeth married second Robert Usher.[2] However, again, there are no sources showing that Widow Jagger had the last name at birth of Deane; the source immediately above shows her last name as unknown.
