Concerning "Elizabeth" the wife of Thomas Harris I, her origins and surname, verification of her origin and ancestry has been accomplished recently (2020). Previous by NEGHS failed to verify as seen at this link. There were various accounts claiming "Leatherland", "Cutter", or "Havens" as her surname. Her surname is documented; no longer a conjecture made by Torry in his book. She migrated to New England at 17 with her older sister Ellen and brother William. Within 5 years she met and married Thomas Harris probably in Salem, MA.
