Research note: one Elizabeth, not two
The old family file gave Isaac Marlatt a mother called Elizabeth Willcox, born 1746, the supposed second wife of John Marlatt (born 1743). No such marriage is known, and a mother of 57 is out of the question. Isaac was the son of Paul Marlatt and Elizabeth (Elsie) Wilcox, who is this woman. The separate entry for Elizabeth Willcox (1746) has been removed and Isaac is shown here as her son.
