- "Elizabeth...died, probably at Marblehead, after 12 May 1704 when her husband, then in Philadelphia, gave her power of attorney to dispose of his property in Essex County, but probably before 1713 when a deed of his lots at Marblehead provided for his children but made no mention of his wife. Elizabeth married, probably about 1681 and before August 1683....
"Elizabeth (Boude) Gatchell testified in November 1683 in Salem Quarterly Court on behalf of her fifteen year old sister Sarah Boude, who had been brutally treated by the second wife of John Newall (Newhall) of Lynn, to whose first wife Sarah had been committed for nursing and apprenticeship by Joseph Boude at his wife's death when Sarah was but two years old. In November 1688 the Gatchells were accused of 'seling of Rum flip punch and milk punch with out a Liceance,' a venture which revived her father's old trade as well as his proclivities. The religious life of the couple commenced at a meeting of the First Church in Salem in August 1683 when Elizabeth Gatchell was admitted to membership; in June 1684, she was one of fifty members at Marblehead who petitioned for a church, and on 13 August of that year 'The Church at Marblehead gathered.' The baptisms of five of the Gatchell children between 1685 and 1695/6 in Marblehead's First Congregational Church were registered in Elizabeth's name alone, Jeremiah not having yet been received into membership. Church attendance was not entirely serene for Elizabeth, who was accused in 1694/5 of yanking another woman out of her seat while at worship." -- "Grimstone Boude and His Family."
