• She was attached to Richard Taylor, of the ROCK, along with her siblings. I have disconnected all of them, since there is a high probability that he was not in Massachusetts and Virginia at the same time, with 2 separate famiies

Elizabeth (Taylor) Hamlin was a Virginia colonist.

Elizabeth Taylor was born about 1664 in Charles City County, Virginia, to parents Richard Taylor and Sarah (Barker) Taylor. She passed away on 7 June 1720.[1] Her will was proved in September 1720 in Prince George County, Virginia.

Elizabeth married Capt. John Hamlin in October 1684, in Charles City County, Virginia.[2] (It is known they were married before August 1688 when John represented his wife in court concerning her father's estate.) Known children include:[3]

1. John Hamlin
2. Elizabeth Hamlin, m. Thomas Ravenscroft
3. Richard Hamlin
4. Peter Hamlin
5. Lucy Hamlin, m. William Epes
6. William Hamlin, b. 1695
7. Hannah Hamlin, m. Thomas Cocke
8. Sarah Hamlin, m. (1) Micajah Lowe; (2) Rev. John Cargill.

Death & Legacy

Elizabeth Hamlin made her will 23 May 1720 and it was proved 13 September 1720 in Prince George County, Virginia.[14][15] Her bequests are as follows:

• to son William Hamlin, five negroes ...Further money due me from Mr. John Hamersley, Mr. John Stith & Mr. Drury Stith ...
• to daughter Lucy, four negroes ...
• to grandson Thomas Hamlin ...
• to daughter Sarah one mourning ring; to Mr. Cargill one mourning ring, and one to each of their two children...
• to daughter Elizabeth and her husband [Thomas Ravenscroft] each a mourning ring.
• Remainder of estate divided into 4 equal parts for children: John, William, Hannah and Lucy.
• Exrs: sons John and William Hamlin
• Wits.: Gilbert Hay, Elvia Houghton, Mm. Borenses, Rebecca Jones.
• Son Richard Hamlin was not named in Elizabeth's will since he died prior to 1720.

The ease with which Mrs. Harrison conferred with Byrd about blood–lettting and then reported its results is explained by the proximity of Elizabeth's Maycocks plantation and Westover. Maycocks was sold by her son, John Hamlin Jr (abt.1685-bef.1725), in 1723 to her son–in–law, Thomas Ravenscroft (1688-bef.1736). The plantation remained in the Ravenscroft family for about fifty years. When the family offered it for sale in 1772, it was described as:

"that pleasantly situated seat on James river, in Prince George county, called Maycox', opposite to Westover, This place, I presume, is so generally known that more particular description of it would be unnecessary."[17]

At the date of this sales advertisement, the location of Maycox had been of interest in Virginia history for over 150 years. It was named for Samuel Maycock (bef.1594-1622), pastor of the first church built at Jamestown, who was killed in the Indian Massacre on 22 March1622. It was immediately west of Flowerdew Hundred on the south side of the James River, land which Elizabeth's mother, Sarah (Barker) Bisse (abt.1641-1694), had owned with her second husband and others.
