John Wormeley

Currently showing as:

Birth: circa 1689, Rosegill, Middlesex County, Virginia
Death: February 07, 1726 (32-41)

Middlesex County, Virginia

Place of Burial: Christ Church Cemetery, Christchurch, Middlesex County, Virginia, United States
Son of Colonel Ralph Wormley and Elizabeth (Armistead) Churchill
Husband of Elizabeth (Ring) Wormeley; Elizabeth (Tayloe) Fauntleroy and Elizabeth (Taverner) Wormeley

But I only see citation for one marriage:

Elizabeth Wormeley

Children of Sarah BERKELEY and Joseph RING are:

Elizabeth RING was born ABT 1694 in Ringfield, Yorktown, York Co., VA, and died AFT 3 MAR 1743. She married John WORMELEY ABT 1712, son of Ralph WORMELEY and Elizabeth ARMISTEAD. He was born 1689 in Rosegill, MIddlesex Co., VA, and died 1726 in Richmond Co, VA.

Sourcing appreciated for Elizabeth Tayloe & Elizabeth Beale

Our family descends from his sister Judith so I haven't done research on John.

Eliminated the other wives.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tayloe-38

Elisabeth was born on 26 Jul 1686.[1] She is the daughter of William Tayloe and Ann Corbin. She is not the wife of John Wormley (died 1726)

Research Notes

Although some sites show that this Elizabeth was married to John Wormley (died 1726) that is incorrect, his wife was Elizabeth Ring, the daughter of Joseph Ring (c1641-1703) and Sarah Berkley (1667-1740) Their son John was married to an Ann Taylor, so that could be where the mistake came from.

"John Wormeley married the prominent heiress Elizabeth Ring of Ringfield Plantation in York County." John also had to oversee "his wife's extensive properties at Ringfield and Ring's Quarter in King and Queen County."[2][3]

Thank you, Carissa Hill!

This is an important fix. Much appreciated.

John Wormeley - Too many Elizabeth wives?
