There is some question as to whether Thomas Durkee's wife was Elizabeth Lord or Elizabeth Ford before she married Thomas on March 5, 1700. I believe she was Elizabeth Ford. Important clues are the similarity of names of Thomas Durkee's children and the Ford / Lovell families.
Andrew Ford born c.1632 in England, married Ellinore/Ellyn Lovell in 1650 at Hingman, Norfolk, Massachusetts. Ellyn's father was Robert Lovell, her mother was Elizabeth Dunckley. Elizabeth was probably named after Mrs. Lovell, Ellyn's mother.
Andrew and Ellinore/Ellyn Lovell Ford had 13 children born c.1650 to 1672, one of which was Elizabeth who married Thomas Durkee and had 11 children. The Durkee's named a son Andrew after her father, they named a son Robert after both her grandfathers, Robert Ford and Robert Lovell.
