Notes:

                   SCUDDER FAMILY RECORDS. FHL FILM 1533246,  PAGE 504. THE SCUDDER ASSOCIATION DOES NOT ACCEPT THE SURNAME "lOWERS" FOR ELIZABETH AS OF 31 DEC 1983.  NEEDS FURTHER RESEARCH.  HOWEVER THE ANCESTRAL FILE SHOWING THOMAS SCUDDER MARRIED TO ELIZABETH "LOWERS" HAS ONE ENTRY, THE IGI FOR THE BRITISH ISLES HAS SEVEN ENTRIES AND
THE PEDIGREE RESOURCE FILE HAS TWENTY ONE, ALL SHOWING HER NAME AS "LOWERS". I FOUND ONE ENTRY SHOWING HER NAME AS SOMERS.  SO WITHOUT FURTHER RESEARCH I GUESS "LOWERS"  IS CORRECT.
