(1) Elizabeth Price, from the Welsh "Ap Rhys", mother of Alice Marshall,and (2) Jane, dau. of Henry Huish of Sands. Dr. McClintock misread Price for Prowse in the register, a possible dau. to Lawrence Prowse of Chagford. This, in turn, led to more error in the Mormon records. By 1909 The Rev. J.T.G. Donaldson, whose own family had inherited the Beavis pedigree and papers, published the true names in Trans. of The Devonshire Association, 41:215-240 (in article as Bevys'). He also showed that the Beavis pedigree was not proven beyond Richard's own parents John and Christina.

Elizabeth's father, the Alderman John Marshall, Mayor in 1615, died before his daughter's marriage. Elizabeth's lineage has been traced back through her mother's ancestry to Lawrence Prowse, born in 1480, son of John Prowse and Joan Orchard and brother of Richard Prowse, an ancestor of Elizabeth's mother-in-law, Agnes Prowse Trowbridge
