Jillaine, she's a 9th g grandmother and so have put available sources in place (Anderson covers her only as wife of Philip Atwood). Found possible but not certain immigration record. The location and year of birth appear to be mythical. I found more than a dozen Elizabeth Smith's b 1616-20 in Kent but none to the listed parents (those parents from a ships register which did NOT denote place of residence). See parental profiles for other issues with this being that Elizabeth.

Seeking evidence (beyond online trees) of her origins. Thank you.

If she was born a Smith, her LNAB should be Smith
