Whilst it seems probable that the Elizabeth buried in 1757 was the wife of the Matthew as shown here, more research needed to show she was the mother of his children, rather than a wife he married later.

The Wrefords of Morchard Bishop and Clannaborough were an ancient armigerous family and Vivian has an extensive tree of Elizabeth's ancestors back to the 1400s - although he is not always accurate it should be of use to anyone related to Elizabeth (including any descendants of John and Elizabeth).
