Daughter of Philemon Whale, Jr., and Elizabeth. (The History of the Brigham Family, Second Volume, p. 33)
==============================================
From Find a Grave memorial #63416981
She was baptised 18d 11m 1612 at Stanstead, Suffolkshire, England. Her maiden name is actually RICE but she was informally adopted by her step-father Philemon WHALE. Early research at NEHGS incorrectly showed Philemon WHALE as her father but her actual marriage record showed she used RICE as her surname before she married John MOORE.

The following biography of Elizabeth was added in 7m 2013 by Ken Smith (#46985536):

Elizabeth Rice was born in Stanstead, Suffolk, England, and baptised there on January 18, 1612. She was the daughter of Henry Rice and Elizabeth Frost. Henry died in 1621 and Elizabeth married Philemon Whale, which has caused some genealogists to claim that Elizabeth the younger was Whale's daughter. She married at Little Gaddesden, Hertford, on November 27, 1633, John Moore, a widower with young children. John and Elizabeth had four children born at Berkhamstead, Hertford. The last in January of 1641. That the family emigrated to New England about that time is proved by the fact that John Moore bought a home and land in Sudbury from Edmund Rice in September 1642.

Five more children were born to John and Elizabeth in Sudbury. John was a farmer, he called himself "Yeoman" in his will, written on August 25, 1668. In that will, he named his "loving and tender wife" Elizabeth, to be executrix. John had amassed quite a bit of land and the family was obviously prosperous. When John died in 1674, his estate was valued at over 800 Pounds, a large amount for those times. Elizabeth lived in Sudbury as a widow until her death on December 14,1690.

Information for this biography was gathered from the vital records of Sudbury, the research of John Threlfall, and articles in The American Genealogist, vol. 60, "Lydia Maynard, wife of Joseph Moore of Sudbury", The New England Historical and Biographical Record, vol. 57, "Some Descendants of John Moore of Sudbury" and New England Families by William R. Cutter
