Elizabeth Wood

In 1712 Edward Welborn married Elizabeth Mitchell, a widow, who was born in Baltimore. One source says Elizabeth’s parents were from Connecticut and another that she had a son Thomas Mitchell. Edward and Elizabeth had two daughters, Elizabeth and Ann, and two sons, William and Thomas. In his will, dated 23 Jan 1731, Edward bequeathed 50 acres of land to his wife and at her decease, to his daughter Ann, and the remaining part of his land to William, together with his blacksmith tools. He bequeathed to Thomas a one year old steer. Both Edward and Elizabeth died in 1731 in Baltimore
