| Notes |
James is very tentatively identified as the husband of Elizabeth. There is no direct evidence to support this conclusion. The identification is made because James Sanders was granted land near Hogan’s Creek where Elizabeth lived and there are no other Sanders in the same area who could be the husband of Elizabeth. However, it is possible that Elizabeth moved to the Hogan’s Creek area after her husband’s death. Perhaps descriptions of the properties in the deeds and grants discussed below will provide evidence to either confirm or rebut this conclusion.
