Her date of birth is estimated from the ordering of names of her siblings in said will, as detailed in profile of John Elston (aka Elson, Helson), Jr..
Her birth location is uncertain, but probably in the Saco, Maine region, as her father resided there, at least prior to 1676.
Her marriage, 2 Jan 1690-91, in Salem, MA. to Stephen Ingolls appears in two (probably related) sources.[2][3]

Elston-247 and Elson-250 are not ready to be merged because: Although they (seem to) have the same parents and bio details, the appropriate LNAB is unclear. Members of this family, or records of them, used various surnames: Elston, Elson, Helson, and spelling variants thereof. Dinah was possibly born in Saco, present day ME, as Helson, but is named in her father's will as Elson, and appears in her marriage record as Elson, but her father was almost certainly the son of John Elston. If she were a male with descendants, this branch of the family, descending from Elstons, might have evolved a new surname that persisted over time, and that should be recognized in her profile.
