finally found the parents of Elizabeth Prindle Jones thanks to family search.
elizabeth prindle married Ezekiel Jones. we knew that long ago. but now her parents have been found and outed at family search. yay.
elizabeth is the daughter of William Prindle and Barbara Cooksey, daughter of shadrach Cooksey. sources prove that Barbara Cooksey and not Margaret Holden is the mother of Elizabeth. my previous Intel was faulty, and althought I spent some time on the Holden line, it was just a wild goose chase. there was no documents to connect Margaret Holden to Elizabeth Prindle. although Margaret may have married a William Prindle, she apparently didn't marry Elizabeth's father.
