Letteye (Aggar) Eliot (1578 - 1620)

Biography

Lettice Aggar, also Letticia (the name was spelled "Lettice Aggar" in Great Migration Begins which profiled at least two of her sons)^[1] ) Since those sons are included in our Puritan Great Migration Project, we are using Anderson's spelling as "correct."

The name is spelled variously in user-generated online data bases.

Origin

Lettice's birth place is uncertain. According to BrÃderbund Software, Inc., she was born in 1577 at Nazeing, Essex, England?^[2]

Her parents are unknown.

Marriage and Children

Lettice married on 30 October 1598 at St. John Baptist, Widford, Hertfordshire, England, to Bennett Eliot (Spelled "Bennett Eliot" by Anderson).^[3]

Children of Lettice and Bennett ("Eliot" spelling used by Anderson):^[4]

1. Philip Eliot
2. Sarah Eliot d 1673
3. Jacob Eliot d 1651
4. John Eliot d 1690
5. Lydia Eliot d before 1676
6. Francis Eliot d 1697
7. Mary Eliot

Death and Legacy

Lettice died 16 March 1619/20 at Nazeing, Essex, England.^[4][3] This appears to have been only five days after the birth of her last child, Mary, and so was perhaps the result of complications in that birth (added by Stoddard Martin Jr, 14 v 20). She was buried at Church of All Saints at Nazeing.^[3]
