Elizabeth was born c. 1655 in Lower Norfolk Co. Virginia to Capt. Adam Keeling and his wife Ann Martin. [1]
She married Dr. Thomas Finklea [2] before 26 Jan 1689 in Virginia and they had two children: [3]
After Thomas died she married Peter Malborne [4], sometime after after 7 Mar 1693. [5] There were no children from this marriage.
She died after Nov 1697.

After Dr. Thomas Finckley died in 1693, the two Finckley boys were taken care of by Anne Martin Keeling Richeson who was their "grand mother".
uly 1698
Difference between John Richeson, Guardian to the two orphan sons of Thomas Finckley, deceased, and Peter Malbone who had married the Adminstrinx of Thomas Finckley. At Peter Malbone's request the matter was referred to the next term of court and ordered that Thomas Hall and Patrick Angus audit and state the accounts of the administration of said Finckley's estate and report to next court [P/A County Orders, Volume 1, page 167].
Other court orders relating to the Finckley estate, indicate that Peter Malbone had received the assets of the estate, and John Richeson, as Guardian of Thomas's two sons was suing to get their part of the estate. The final distribution in 1698, gave the sons 2/3 of the estate. There other third most likely went to Dr. Thomas Finckley's widow, Elizabeth Keeling Malbone.
Adam Keeling (Sheriff of Norfolk and son of Ensign Thomas Keeling) and wife Anne Martin (daughter of John Martin) had a daughter Elizabeth and a son Adam. Adam Sr. died about April 1683 (Lower Norfolk). His widow Anne then married John Richeson (High Sheriff of Norfolk). Therefore, since Elizabeth was Adam Keeling's daughter and Anne Keeling Richeson was her mother, she was the grandmother of the two Thomas Finckley boys. John Richeson, who married Anne Martin Keeling Richeson, was named guardian of the orphan sons of Dr. Thomas Finckley.
