     Some sources report that her husband's efforts to obtain her money after the breakdown of their marriage were unsuccessful through her entrusting her estates (as evidenced in her will); other sources state her will was subsequently overturned by her children who had her ruled insane because of her butterfly interest - this seems unlikely as the probate records show administration was granted. It is believed it was her son Forest Ashfield who attempted to overturn her will using the Act of Lunacy as "none but those deprived of their senses would go in pursuit of butterflies."

Here rest in the Lord Jesus, Richard Glanfield and Elizabeth his wife, laid together here in the year of our lord 1637. Both by hard and honest toil increased honourably their own wealth and that of the state. Both were joined together for almost four and twenty years and were not parted long by death itself.
