Can someone tell me more about this lady? The full story of Richard More is posted at http://members.aol.com/calebj/more.html but here is Elizabeth's part:

"On 23 October 1645, Richard More apparently married (polygamously) Elizabeth Woolno at St. Duncan's, Stepney, Middlesex, England, effectively having one wife on both sides of the ocean.  Nobody discovered his polygamous relationship until late this century, by Robert M. Sherman, FASG."

Richard was a ship captain who was on the Mayflower as a child and also witnessed the witch hysteria at Salem. I think there's a movie here!!
