Elizabeth Tayloe

Not the wife of John Wormeley & not the same as Elizabeth Wormeley. Seen as wife of Colonel Griffin Fauntleroy, Sr. (m 1704) - evidence needed.

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).

Disputed marriage

He married Ann Corbin (1664–1694), daughter of Hon. Henry Corbin (ca. 1629–1676) and Alice (Eltonhead) Corbin, of "Buckingham House" Middlesex County, parents of Laetitia Corbin Lee, wife of Col. Richard Lee II, Esq.[17] They had 4 children: Elizabeth, who married John Wormeley [NO]: Ann Catherine, who married Samuel Ball; John, who became the chief architect of the family fortune; and William, who married Letitia Wormeley, brother to John – both children of Ralph Wormeley.

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]
