"According to The History of Middle New River Settlements (p 377) [by David Johnston], Richard [Bailey, Elizabeth's eventual husband] was born in England and married Annie Belcher. The former fact has not been proven and the latter appears erroneous. All deeds and other records in which the wife of Richard is mentioned, her name is given as Elizabeth, including a sale of property in Chesterfield County in 1763. Her last name is probably Belsher, as given, since other references also point to the relationship through the Belsher line; however no marriage record has been located." [Netti Schreiner-Yantis, Archives of the pioneers of Tazewell County, Virginia, (Springfield, Va., c1973). "Some descendants of the pioneers" - p. 257 note 6]

So here we have another genealogical mix-up, and one that is probably not going to be un-mixed at this point - at least not definitively. It is generally believed that Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard Belcher and Mary Obedience Clay, and because of Johnston (I assume) people generally refer to her as Elizabeth Ann.
