Elizabeth Harwood was born 28 January 1701 in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, the third daughter and third child (of seven) of Nathaniel and Mary (Barron) Harwood of Chelmsford[1].
She married Nathaniel Harwood on 7 March 1730/1 (intentions) in Groton, as his second wife[2-3]. They had four children born between 1732 and 1739; Elijah (born 1732, died within two weeks), Elizabeth (born 1734), Isaac (born 1738, died within three months), and Benjamin (born 1739, died within two years), all recorded in Westford, Massachusetts (which split from Chelmsford in 1730).
Elizabeth Prescott died on 27 December 1739 in Westford, Massachusetts[4-5] at the age of 38 years, ten days after the birth of her fourth child, Benjamin. Her death record in the Westford town records says:
