SE Note: The above may be same as the Edward SAUNDERS and wife Elizabeth Coombe Lineage Snapshot of North Bovey, Devon, England. Based on a cursory check of the 1841 and 1851 English census (extraction needed), the family appears to be the same. Elizabeth was born Apr 9, 1804 in North Bovey, Devonshire, England. See Allen Co, IN records.
