Parents of Elizabeth Reynor m. Thomas Southw. plymouth
I haven't been able to figure out this puzzle. Does anyone know who the parents of Elizabeth Reynor (b. ~ 1614) are.She married Thomas Southworth in Plymouth 1 Sep 1641.Numerous sources list her as the daughter of Rev. John Reynor (b. ~1605 Gildersome, d. 1669 Dover, NH).Due to the birth year that doesn't seem possible, yet numerous reliable sources make this connection (Listed below).Does anyone know the answer to this puzzle?!
Savage vol. 4 p143 under Thomas Southworth has him m. (4?) Sep 1641, Elizabeth d/o Rev John REYNER.
Pope's Pioneers of MA., p379 has Rev. John REYNOR listed with an Elizabeth as his daughter, and also his brother Humphrey.

"5. Tradition has it that Reyner was the brother of Gov. Bradford's wife, the former Mrs. Alice (Carpenter) Southworth.This cannot be so ... The tradition is undoubtedly based on confusion arising from the fact that Alice Bradford's son by her first marriage, Thomas Southworth, married Elizabeth Reyner, the pastor's daughter." p. 474
"Southworth, Thomas (c. 1616-1669) - born, Leyden ... Arrived, Plymouth, c. 1628; married c. 1637, to Elizabeth, daughter of Pastor Reyner ... p. 452
