A number of researchers have assumed that Elizabeth, who m. John Guttery/Guthry, was the d/o John & Eliz. (?) Baskett.
Let's look at the dates:
Elizabeth, d/o John & Eliz. was bap. 14 MAR 1679.She would only have been 6 years of age at the time:
Elizabeth Baskett m. John Guttery 06 FEB 1686.
Therefore, Elizabeth (Baskett) Guttery/Guthry can only be the widow of John Baskett, the immigrant, thus he d. pre 1686 - not in 1720.
Does anyone agree?
