Elizabeth Storer, possibly the daughter of Col. John Storer, enslaved Dinah who married Sharper who was enslaved by Mary Hill.

"Sharper Negro servant to widow Mary Hill and Dinah Negro servant to widow Elizabeth Storer their intentions of marriage were entered the 29th of March 1776."

This may be Elizabeth Storer (1729-1823), daughter of Col. John Storer (1694-1768), who "married a Mr. Littlefield of Wells," per Remich, p. 535. John Storer left "a Negro woman" in his estate, and she could possibly be Dinah "Negro servant to Elizabeth Storer."
