Her name is not established. The only references are via WikiTree which questioned many of its entries and contains no sources backing up it's entries and other minor sources for which the maiden name is unknown. And it is unknown if this person represents her husband's first wife or his 2nd wife, whom both are named Elizabeth.

In addition, and because her maiden name cannot be reliably established, her parents cannot be truly linked to this Elizabeth.
