Elizabeth Amis was born in the village of Ramsey in 1671 eldest child of William, a yeoman and gentleman, but both her parents and her older brother died when she was seven years old, leaving Elizabeth and her sister Mary sole orphans.
Their father had left extensive property in his will for the girl's upbringing, and this duty then fell to the will's supervisor Robert Blaxall married to their mother's sister Rachel. But he also died just three years later and Rachel remarried John Scarpe of Manningtree, which is where the girls went to live.
Elizabeth was still of Manningtree and just turned twenty when she married Philip Hempson at Great Oakley. Philip was a gentleman and landowner of Ramsey and they baptised eleven children there between 1692 and 1705 but only five survived childhood
Elizabeth died just two weeks after her last child Susan was born. Susan survived, but Elizabeth was buried at Ramsey in 1705 aged 33. Philip died two years later and was also buried at Ramsey

Elizabeth Amis married Philip Hempson of Ramsey in 1690 and lived all her married life there so was probably born around1670. There is a suitable baptism at Ramsey:
C 2Aug1671 Elizabeth d Will & Elizabeth Amis
Elizabeth married Philip in the neighbouring parish of Gt. Oakley but was then of Manningtree some distance away. The explanation of this is that she was orphaned at the age of seven by the death of her mother, father and older brother all in the same year and was brought up by her aunt Rachel Cole of Manningtree (see William Amis-11 and Elizabeth Cole-11).
Susan Hempson-9 was baptised at Ramsey in 1704/5 daughter of Philip & Eliz Hempson. At least eleven baptisms to these parents in Ramsey are directly preceded by a suitable marriage in the neighbouring parish of Great Oakley:
m 9Sep1690 Philip Hempson
singleman of Ramsey & Elizabeth Amise of Maningtree singlewoman
Out of 11 children baptised at Ramsey only 5 survived childhood: Anne, Mary, Philip, Ames and Susan, and Philip died as a young man of 24

The land called Mayhouse was left to Elizabeth Amis' brother William Amis who died 3 months later aged 5. Mayhouse then appears in the above will of Philip Hempson (1698-1722) the son of Philip and Elizabeth. This is good supporting evidence that Philip's wife Elizabeth was indeed Elizabeth Amis of the Ramsey family, even though she was of Manningtree at marriage. Mayhouse seems to have passed to her from her brother.
